The name refers to the use of dental technologies or devices that incorporate digital or computer-controlled components to carry out dental procedures rather than using mechanical or electrical tools. The use of digital dentistry makes carrying out dental procedures more efficient than using mechanical tools, both for restorative as diagnostic purposes.

Used as a way to facilitate dental treatments and propose new ways to meet rising patient demands Eterna LHC has implemented most of them. Our daily digital workflow consists of the following digital technologies:

• DSD (Digital Smile Design)
• Digital Photography (extraoral and intraoral)
• Intra-oral scanners
• CAD/CAM (Computer-aided implant dentistry — including design and fabrication of surgical guides. Computer-aided crown manufacturing)
• 3D Printing (e.g. to print physical models of digital images taken with intra-oral scans, make appliances, temporaries, surgical guides)
• Shade matching
• Digital radiograph cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)
• Diagnodent
• Dental lasers
