Digital technology has fundamentally changed how dentistry is planned and delivered. From the first scan to the final restoration, digital workflows enable greater accuracy, fewer appointments, and a more comfortable experience throughout.
At East London Oral Health Centre, digital workflows underpin much of the care — from intraoral scanning and digital impressions to computer-guided implant planning. This means less time in the chair, fewer traditional impressions, and results that are planned to within fractions of a millimetre.
Digital workflows in practice
Intraoral scanning
Replaces traditional impressions with a comfortable digital scan — fast, accurate, and no gagging. The 3D model is used immediately for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Computer-guided implant planning
Implants are planned digitally before the first incision — position, angle, and depth are determined using 3D imaging and surgical guides for unparalleled accuracy.
Digital smile design
Treatment outcomes can be visualised digitally before any work begins, so you know what to expect and can be part of the planning process.
Patients from Mthatha, Gqeberha, Komani, and King William's Town come to Beacon Bay for digital dentistry using internationally accredited techniques.
