Digital dentistry: Is this the future of dentistry?

Image
The connotations of being past the year 2020 bring about thoughts of futuristic concepts as suggested by movies, the Internet, and a vast array of media.  Movies and books, set in a time period only a few decades forward, have portrayed a life filled with advanced medicine, travel, engineering, manufacturing, and even rapid and simple food production. Yet, when we reach that future date, we observe that technology doesn’t change as fast as our minds imagine. Does dentistry today — often termed “digital dentistry” — represent the high-tech, easy-to-implement solutions that were imagined and written about 30 years ago or even last year?

It is at that point that we thought of looking abroad, where we knew we could save money. We have therefore carried out researches of structures that gave serious guarantees and we turned to this team of doctors; given the success of the treatments and the personal satisfaction we said that we could have saved many other people too. This is how a new Dental Tourism Clinic was born and with an office in Guanacaste, the beach area of Costa Rica. What we do / how we work Our purpose was ... and
