The technology dentists have used has evolved over the years, with new innovations constantly helping to make cosmetic dentistry treatments less painful, time consuming and quicker to heal, it has been claimed.
Chief executive officer of ActionRun Satya Misra noted many new innovations have been implemented in recent years, ranging from Invisalign braces to Zoom teeth whitening and dental veneers.
Ms Misra commented: "Is technology in the dental industry really important in your search for a dentist? It is if you like the idea of dental procedures taking less time, spending less money for dental procedures and experiencing less discomfort."
Elsewhere, Harley Street dental surgeon Tariq Idris recently told the Daily Mail that the introduction of the new £50,000 Waterlase MD Turbo will help UK dentists perform treatments much faster and with quicker healing times.
He noted lasers have been around in emergency dentistry for years, but this latest innovation is a step forward in terms of flexibility of use and its ability to get the job done.
