How Far Dental Technology Has Come

[Rojo]

When I was a kid the Dentist had reusable huge needle syringes, crude extraction techniques by today's standards, forever adjusting braces, etc. Now they can print bite alignment devices that you can hardly see. Replace teeth with permanent prosthetic ones, scan your mouth to digitally produce a perfect fitting crown, know exactly what will fit where. Here are some pictures of the actual screw they installed this morning.



The Oral Surgeon tried multiple different screws all digitally before selecting which to use. Also he could see how close they were to my sinus cavity to try not to have to do a Sinus Lift on me. These pictures he could rotate with a remote on the screen 360 degrees in any direction. Improvements in Dental Technology is a Fantastic help to us grocery hounds.
