Hello! I’m Jordan Santiago, the dental lab manager at the Implant Center in Miami. Having been with the team for over five years, I've gained a deep appreciation for the evolution of dental technology, especially when comparing current practices to those before the advent of dental labs.
Before dental labs were integrated into dental practices, most dental restorations were crafted by hand, right in the dentist’s office. This process was not only time-consuming but also limited in precision and efficiency. Everything had to be done manually, which extended the duration of dental procedures and often resulted in longer wait times for patients. The lack of digital technology meant that everything had to be physically molded by hand, restricting the level of detail and accuracy achievable in dental restorations.
Today, thanks to advancements in dental lab technology, we operate in a significantly more advanced and efficient environment. Digital scans and computer-aided design (CAD) have replaced manual methods, allowing us to produce dental restorations with remarkable speed and exactness. This technological progression has transformed patient experiences, providing quicker, more accurate treatments, and highly customized dental solutions.
If you have any questions about how modern dental lab technologies could benefit your dental care, or if you’re interested in a consultation, please don’t hesitate to contact us or visit our website.
