At Island Dental Associates serving Franklin Square and Levittown, NY, we’re committed to offering the latest in dental care. Our use of digital dentistry technology is changing how patients experience exams, treatments and restorations — bringing greater precision, comfort, and speed to the North Shore communities of Long Island.
What Is Digital Dentistry Technology?
The term digital dentistry technology refers to advanced tools like intraoral scanners, 3-D imaging, CAD/CAM fabrication, and in-house labs that work together to streamline dental care. These systems enable dentists to assess, plan, and execute treatments with greater predictability than ever.
Key Benefits of Digital Dentistry Technology
1) Enhanced Precision and Fit
High-resolution scans and CAD/CAM design improve the accuracy of crowns, veneers, and implant restorations—often reducing chairside adjustments and remakes.
2) Faster Treatment Times and Fewer Visits
Digital workflows streamline every phase—diagnostics, design, fabrication, and delivery—so you spend less time in the chair while maintaining quality.
3) Faster, Seamless Results with an On-Site Dental Lab
Unlike practices that ship cases to outside facilities, our on-site dental lab enables real-time collaboration between dentists and lab technicians. The result: quicker turnarounds, same-day adjustments when appropriate, and a more personalized, seamless experience.
4) Better Communication with Visuals
Digital imagery and AI-generated overlays make it easier to explain what we’re seeing and why a treatment is recommended—boosting clarity and confidence.
5) Safety, Standards, and Professional Oversight
These tools support the clinician; your dentist remains responsible for diagnosis and treatment planning. For general public guidance on oral health and prevention, explore the CDC’s oral health hub (CDC: Oral Health).
Considerations Before Digital Treatment
While digital dentistry offers many advantages, it still requires skilled professionals and appropriate case planning. The use of high-tech tools doesn’t replace clinical judgment — your dentist remains in control of diagnosis and care planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does digital dentistry cost more?
The use of digital tools can reduce long-term appointment time and adjustments, which may offset cost differences. Our team will discuss treatment costs and financing options with you.
Is digital dentistry right for everyone?
Many patients benefit from digital workflows, but suitability depends on oral health status, restoration type, and treatment goals. We’ll evaluate your individual needs during your consultation.
Will I still see my dentist under the same-day workflow?
Absolutely. Even when using digital tools, your dentist remains your primary provider — the technology supports their work rather than replaces it.
Always consult with your Dentist: You should always seek the advice of your dentist to make sure which options are best for you. Dental conditions vary widely among individuals. Not all dental problems are visible or easily detectable. Professional cleanings are essential, regardless of how diligent your oral hygiene routine is. Regular dental check-ups allow for the early detection of potential issues. Dentists are trained to provide expert advice on oral hygiene and other factors that impact your dental health. Online information may need more depth and accuracy to address your specific needs.
