What are the main advantages of digital dentistry?

Greater accuracy, improved patient comfort (no impression trays), better predictability for complex cases such as implants, faster turnaround for many restorations, and the ability to show patients digital treatment plans and simulations.

Do you offer same-day restorations?

Yes. With our in-house CEREC and milling technology, many single crowns, inlays, and onlays can be designed, milled, and placed in a single visit. See our dedicated CEREC page for details.

Is digital dentistry used for dental implants?

Yes. We use CBCT 3D imaging and specialized software to plan implant position, evaluate bone, avoid critical structures, and design surgical guides when indicated. This increases safety and predictability.

Q: What is digital dentistry?

Digital dentistry uses intraoral scanners, 3D imaging (CBCT), computer-aided design, and in-house milling to plan and produce dental restorations with high precision. It replaces many traditional analog steps such as messy impression trays and external laboratory work.

Q: How does digital dentistry benefit international patients?

Digital workflows often reduce the number of visits required and allow more treatment to be completed efficiently during a short stay in Lima. Digital records also make communication and follow-up clearer.

At Smiles Peru we use a complete digital dentistry workflow to deliver more precise, comfortable, and efficient care. From the first scan to the final restoration, digital tools help us plan accurately and execute treatment with a high level of predictability.

Whether you need crowns, implants, veneers, or full-arch rehabilitation, our digital approach reduces uncertainty and improves the patient experience.

Digital scanning – no more messy impressions

We have replaced traditional impression materials with high-precision intraoral scanners. In just a few minutes we capture a detailed 3D digital model of your teeth and gums.

Benefits of digital scanning:

Far more comfortable than traditional impression trays
Greater accuracy for better-fitting restorations
Faster treatment planning and communication
Digital records that can be stored and shared easily

Advanced 3D planning with CBCT

Our in-house Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanner provides detailed three-dimensional images of the teeth, bone, and surrounding structures. This technology is especially valuable for dental implant planning.

Using specialized software we can:

Plan implant placement with high precision
Evaluate bone quality and quantity
Identify the safest positions relative to nerves and sinuses
Design custom surgical guides when needed

This level of planning leads to safer procedures and more predictable outcomes, particularly in complex implant cases.

Precision in-house restorations

One of the strongest advantages of our digital workflow is the ability to design and produce high-quality restorations in our own laboratory. Using advanced milling technology we create zirconia and ceramic restorations with excellent fit, strength, and aesthetics.

This includes:

Crowns and bridges
Implant-supported restorations
Full-arch zirconia bridges
Inlays and onlays

Because many restorations are milled in-house, we can often reduce treatment time and achieve a more precise result compared with sending work to an external laboratory. For same-day options, see our dedicated CEREC Digital Restorations page.
