The Latest Advances in Dental Technology

Insta Risa

Star Dental insta risa represents a groundbreaking advancement in dentistry, utilizing high-resolution 3D scans and advanced software to create highly personalized treatment plans. This technology allows for unprecedented precision and customization in smile design, setting a new standard for dental care. The result is a transformative approach that ensures each smile is crafted with exceptional accuracy and detail.

Intraoral Scanner

Intraoral scanners are advanced tools used in dentistry to capture highly accurate 3D images of the inside of the mouth. These scanners eliminate the need for traditional impressions, offering a more comfortable and precise alternative for creating dental restorations and appliances. By providing detailed digital models, intraoral scanners enhance the accuracy of treatment planning and improve overall patient care.

PRF (Biohacking)

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is a cutting-edge technology in dentistry that utilizes the patient's own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. By concentrating platelets and growth factors, PRF enhances the body's natural repair processes, leading to faster recovery and improved outcomes for procedures like implants and oral surgery. This method offers a biologically safe and effective way to support healing and optimize the results of dental treatments.

In House Lab

At Star Dental, our in-house lab provides key benefits such as quicker turnaround for custom restorations and adjustments, minimizing patient wait times. This setup ensures precise, high-quality dental work through close collaboration between our dentists and lab technicians. Additionally, having an on-site lab allows for immediate adjustments and personalized care, enhancing overall patient satisfaction.
