Laguna Hills, CA - January 13, 2015 - (iNewswire)
Patients should not be surprised if they happen to enter the dentist’s office for their next routine cleaning to discover a medical robot serving as a dental assistant. Nor should they be shocked if that robot helps them get out of the door, ending their appointment sooner, and with more efficiency. Technology continues to impact the medical and dental sectors—and it is becoming increasingly apparent to patients that these developments are not only allowing their health to be protected, but their appointment times significantly reduced. Dr. Ali-Reza Etemadieh of Orange County Dental Care, an office that focuses on dentistry in the city of Orange, California, applauds the technological evolution within the dental industry and is eager to see what developments could be implemented in his practice in the future.
“There have been constant technology developments that have changed the dental field,” commented Dr. Etemadieh. “It was in the 1980s that the industry first began to see robotics and new machinery implemented in offices. Staying on the cusp has always been important to me as I have grown my dental care clinic in OC.”
Of course, not all dental advancements are necessarily administered by robots. Little over a decade ago, common procedures oftentimes took several visits to the dental office to be completed. For instance, a routine crown required multiple visits and patients were forced to wear temporary crowns while the permanent replacement for a damaged tooth was created.
“A crown is a great example of how technology has sped up the process and made things more efficient. Today, robotic machines have reduced the time for a crown significantly, to about two hours,” stated Dr. Etemadieh. “And time in the dentist’s chair is even further reduced.”
Industry statistics show that the average amount of time that “the dentist is actually in the patient’s mouth” when administering a crown equals about twelve minutes. “The rest of the work takes place outside of the patient’s mouth,” notes Dr. Etemadieh of Orange County Dental Care.
Patients, of course, have welcomed these changes, and many note that the hassle and frustration usually present when having to receive dental services, has been dramatically reduced.
“There are many patients I encounter who are looking for services related to dentistry in the city of Orange who are not only focused on improving their oral health, but also working with a dentist who appreciates and respects their valuable time,” stated Dr. Etemadieh. “Technology improvements better facilitate this, and we are committed to these principled at Orange County Dental Care.”
