Revolutionary technological advances in dentistry

Angell Martinez • January 31, 2021

Dentistry has experienced unprecedented technological advances that are transforming the way oral diseases are diagnosed and treated. These advances are providing patients with more accurate and efficient care, and one of the leaders in this field is Dr. Javier Andrade, renowned dentist and owner of the MiamiDentist4U clinic.


Dr. Javier Andrade is originally from Colombia and currently resides in the United States, where he has built an outstanding reputation with his dental practice by prioritizing patient wellness while employing cutting-edge technology for more precise, aesthetic and detailed results.


Among the technological advances that the Colombian commented on is digital radiography, which replaces conventional X-rays. This technology uses electronic sensors to capture high-resolution images of teeth and oral structures. According to Dr. Andrade, digital radiographs provide an instant and clear image, which makes it possible to identify hidden problems and design a more effective treatment plan.             



  Dr. Javier Andrade commented that digitalization has also improved dental restorative procedures. With the use of intraoral scanners, high-precision digital images of the mouth and teeth can be obtained, eliminating the need for uncomfortable silicone impressions.


"One of the advances in dentistry today is the intraoral scanner. Years ago, impressions were taken with a rather uncomfortable paste that produces nausea; it is something that I in particular have not used for many years," Dr. Andrade mentioned. "Now it is done with computerized devices or scanners to take extremely precise impressions of the teeth and tissues, which allows us to plan restorations, plan implants and fabricate high-precision restorations."


According to the doctor, 3D radiographs also allow us to evaluate tissues three-dimensionally and provide much more accurate and safe treatments. "We have the use of digital radiographs, the use of lasers that allow us to apply it in all aspects of dentistry to help us provide better treatments," he added.     For his part, he pointed out that there are different kinds of software that allow us to design teeth, design smiles and plan treatments with more precision, as well as facial scanners, computerized system for office management, and artificial intelligence.


"Artificial intelligence in dentistry are programs that basically analyze the data we have from our patients, and it's like having 20 more eyes doing x-ray exams of that patient and helping us detect lesions when they are just starting," Andrade said. "It helps detect infections and makes the process easier for us, gives us greater accuracy diagnosing the patient. Obviously under our supervision and verifying that the information is correct."


In addition, laser technology has found its place in dentistry, offering a number of benefits. Dental lasers allow for less invasive and more precise procedures, such as the treatment of diseased gums, caries removal and teeth whitening. Dr. Andrade noted that dental lasers minimize pain and discomfort for patients, and speed up the healing process.   



The MiamiDentist4U clinic, led by Dr. Javier Andrade, has embraced these technological advances to provide its patients with the best possible care. "Our clinic prides itself on using cutting-edge technology to improve dental diagnosis and treatment. We are committed to providing optimal results and a comfortable experience for our patients," he concluded.

Advances in dentistry have allowed dentists to offer more effective and long-lasting treatments to restore damaged teeth. At the forefront of this dental revolution is Dr. Javier Andrade and his clinic MiamiDentist4U, where he has implemented advanced dental materials and cutting-edge technology to offer his patients healthy and aesthetic smiles. Dr. Javier Andrade, a renowned expert in aesthetic dentistry, has been a pioneer in the implementation of advanced dental materials in his Miami clinic. With years of experience and passion for excellence in dental care, Dr. Andrade has witnessed firsthand the evolution of materials used in the restoration of damaged teeth. Advanced dental materials, such as cutting-edge ceramics and composite resins, have largely replaced traditional materials such as silver amalgam. These new materials offer numerous advantages, such as better aesthetics, greater resistance and greater compatibility with natural dental tissues. “There are smile design treatments with porcelain veneers or crowns depending on the patient's condition, how the teeth are, whether they are healthy or not; There are aesthetic treatments with resin. Resin is like plastic and porcelain is like glass,” explained Dr. Andrade. At the MiamiDentist4U clinic they have adopted these advanced dental materials to offer their patients high-quality restorations. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the clinic uses intraoral scanners and computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) systems to obtain accurate digital impressions and fabricate custom restorations the same day. “There are countless materials, today there are much more resistant materials. We have materials and adhesives that we can adhere to teeth in a predictable and conservative way, without having to wear them down. There are materials with a lot of resistance, materials with aesthetic characteristics very similar to natural teeth,” Andrade indicated. In the case of state-of-the-art ceramics, such as porcelain crowns and veneers, these materials offer a natural and translucent appearance, imitating the appearance of real teeth. In addition, its resistance and durability allow optimal chewing function without compromising aesthetics. With Dr. Andrade's advanced dental materials and his experience at the MiamiDentist4U clinic, patients have access to high-quality dental treatments that offer long-lasting results and a revitalized smile. The evolution of dental materials has allowed for significant advances in restorative dentistry, giving people the opportunity to regain health and confidence in their smile. “We are combining design technology and artificial intelligence and we have several machines with which we can make 3D prints, cut all types of materials and manufacture restorations in the office. This gives us greater control and precision in the work we do,” concluded Dr. Javier Andrade.
