Digital Impressions with Intra-oral Scanning

Our dental clinic, located in Kilimani, Nairobi, specializes in digital workflow solutions. To enhance our services, we have invested in the world’s top-ranked dental scanner, the 3Shape Trio from Copenhagen, Denmark.

Intra-oral scanning (specifically using 3Shape TRIOS) offers significant advantages over manual, analog impressions in terms of speed, accuracy for smaller spans, patient comfort, and workflow efficiency. While traditional,, polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impressions remain a viable, often more cost-effective option for certain scenarios, 3Shape digital scans are generally more efficient, with studies indicating high accuracy and a 100% preference rate among patients due to reduced gagging and increased comfort.

Key Comparisons: 3Shape TRIOS vs. Manual Impressions

Accuracy & Precision: 3Shape TRIOS 3 and 5 are consistently ranked among the most accurate scanners. While PVS is highly accurate, it is prone to human error in mixing and material deformation, whereas digital scans eliminate these, along with the need to pour stone models.
Patient Experience: Digital scans are significantly more comfortable, reducing, or eliminating the gag reflex and the unpleasant taste/texture of materials. Studies show 100% patient preference for digital, and it is particularly useful for younger patients or those with high anxiety.
Time Efficiency: Digital scanning is faster than traditional methods, often taking only 1.5 to 6 minutes for a full scan. It eliminates the need for tray selection, material setting times, and cleaning up messes.
Workflow Integration: 3Shape digital impressions can be shared instantly with labs via the cloud, significantly faster than physical shipping. This enables faster turnaround times for restorations.

Key Advantages of the Summit Dental Care 3Shape TRIOS

High Accuracy: Studies show digital impression accuracy is comparable or superior to conventional methods, with 3Shape TRIOS often providing superior results for single-unit crowns and short-span bridges.
Immediate Feedback: The ability to instantly review your scan on-screen allows for immediate detection of errors, such as missing data, and easy rescanning of specific areas without repeating the entire impression.
Digital Storage: Eliminates the need for physical storage of stone models, freeing up our office space and preventing model damage over time.
Integrated Diagnostics: Our 3Shape scanners are powered with AI software can monitor for caries, tooth wear, and gum recession in addition to taking the scan itself.

Experience Expert Laser Dentistry in Nairobi

What is Laser Dentistry?

Laser Dentistry is a practice where dentist use lasers instead of traditional tools like dental drills and scalpels to treat a number of oral health issues. Lasers have a long history in dentistry, as they have been in use since the early 1990’s. Because lasers work by causing tissue to react upon contact, they can be used to remove or shape oral tissue at will.

Dentsply Sirona SiroLaser Blue is the first dental diode laser worldwide with a blue, infrared and red wavelength. This makes it an all-rounder for dental laser treatment.

We deploy this technology in the following treatments:

GalvoSurge Implant Cleaning System

Peri-implantitis is a disease that affects the gum and bone around dental implants. When not treated early enough, this disease can lead to complete tissue destruction and thus implant loss. Eliminating biofilm is essential for the successful treatment of patients with peri-implantitis, or peri-implant mucositis.

The GalvoSurge device is a unique solution which completely removes the biofilm matrix and decontaminates the affected implant surface, without harming healthy soft and hard tissue. The GalvoSurge device uses an electrolytic cleaning principle for biofilm removal. This is accomplished within two minutes and without the need for conventional grinding and brushing.

With this device, we are now uniquely well-equipped to meet the increasing demand for peri-implantitis treatment and prevention of implant loss. This preventive solution significantly improves patient satisfaction and highlights our commitment to advancing our solutions and providing innovative care for our patients.”

The GalvoSurge Dental Implant Cleaning System GS 1000 is compatible with most implant systems. We are therefore able to serve all patients, regardless of the implant system and deliver innovative care for peri-implantitis conditions.

Advanced Dental Cleaning – Guided Biofilm Therapy In Nairobi

Experience Next-Gen Dental Cleaning in Kilimani Nairobi

Located opposite Yaya Centre at Alta Towers in Kilimani Nairobi, we are among the few elite dental practices in the region adopting this cutting-edge technology.

Understanding Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)

GBT is a revolutionary approach to dental cleanings, focusing on gently yet effectively removing biofilm from both above and below the gum line. This non-invasive technique is crucial for preventing a range of oral health issues.

The Importance of Biofilm Removal

Removing dental biofilm is vital for oral and overall health. It’s a habitat for bacteria causing issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and even contributing to systemic diseases such as heart and respiratory conditions.

Safe Dental Surgery In Nairobi With Piezosurgery

Summit Dental Care introduces Piezosurgery, a modern technique in bone surgery offering exceptional precision and safety.

What Is Piezosurgery?

Piezosurgery is a new technique of bone surgery that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The piezoelectric device produces specific ultrasound frequency modulation and allows one to cut through mineralized structures with extreme precision, safety features as well as micrometric cuts all at once!

How Does Piezosurgery Work?

The manual cutting devices are a traditional way of performing dental surgery. They involve the use and manipulation by hand, which can cause microfractures in bone or soft tissue as well as significant damage around it leading to complications like inflammation that slows down healing process for patients who undergo these treatments postoperatively.

The piezoelectric device is an amazing tool for operating on patients because it allows less collateral tissue damage and increased visibility. They work by using ultrasonic vibrations, which stimulate cellular metabolism while producing little noise compared to motorized equipment; they also require no applied pressure, making them safe enough even when used near sensitive areas where there could be permanent scarring due if pressure were present during surgery.

What Are The Benefits Of Piezosurgery?

The use of piezoelectric technology in surgery has been shown to provide better safety, well-being and exactness when performing bone surgeries. Piezosurgery reduces any pain felt by blood vessels nerves or membranes during procedure due to its ability to reduce microcracks that can lead into infection.
