Digital dentistry in Bologna: cutting-edge technology
Digital dentistry in Bologna: a reality that the Grimaldi Dental Center has been making a reality for over 15 years, thanks to cutting-edge technologies capable of transforming the patient’s experience and optimizing therapeutic results. Located at 6/e Via P. Grimaldi, our dental clinic is the first in Italy to have purchased the BestMill by Redon, a latest-generation milling machine for in-house processing of prosthetic materials such as zirconium, PMMA, ceramic, titanium and cobalt-chrome.
In this guide, we will discuss how the use of advanced digital equipment and in-house production processes—such as the BestMill milling machine, the two 3Shape intraoral scanners (Trios 3 and Trios 5) and the Asiga 3D printer—improve the quality of care, processing times and the entire dental journey.
The Grimaldi Dental Center’s commitment to innovation
In the heart of Bologna, the Grimaldi Dental Center has made technological innovation its hallmark. With a team of professionals who are constantly up to date and equipped with multidisciplinary skills, we provide comprehensive treatments for adults and children, including:
- Implantology
- Orthodontics
- Aesthetic dentistry
- Fixed and removable dental prostheses
- Oral hygiene and prevention
For over 15 years, we have been committed to offering a welcoming environment and digital procedures, relying on the most modern technologies to guarantee maximum precision and patient comfort.
Redon BestMill milling machine: the first installation in Italy
The pride of our technological equipment is the brand new BestMill by Redon. We are the first in Italy to have installed this dental milling machine, capable of processing various prosthetic materials with speed, precision and extraordinary reliability. Thanks to this innovation, we can produce various types of restorations and prostheses in-house:
- Zirconium for highly aesthetic crowns and bridges
- PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) for temporary prostheses and orthodontic appliances
- Ceramic (porcelain) for high quality, high strength prostheses
- Titanium and cobalt-chrome for implant structures
The in-house production of these devices allows us to drastically reduce waiting times, while offering the guarantee of total quality control.
3Shape intraoral scanners: Trios 3 and Trios 5
At the Grimaldi Dental Center we use two 3Shape intraoral scanners: Trios 3 and Trios 5, the most technologically advanced of the range. These devices allow us to:
- Eliminate the hassle of traditional impression materials
- Ensure highly accurate digital measurements
- Display the patient’s oral anatomy on a screen in real time
The Trios 5 scanner, in particular, offers a technological evolution that reduces scanning time while increasing the precision of details. All this translates into accurate digital impressions of the dental arches and prosthetic projects that integrate perfectly with the patient’s anatomy, thanks to the automated processing of data through dedicated software.
Asiga 3D printer: prosthetic devices in just a few minutes
Once the digital data of the dental arches has been acquired, the Asiga 3D printer comes into play to transform prosthetic projects, surgical templates and other components necessary for dental treatments into reality. This printer:
- Allows the production of accurate resin models in just a few minutes
- Produces surgical templates for guided implantology, reducing invasiveness and margins of error
- Produces high-precision temporary prostheses, improving the efficiency of the entire workflow
Thanks to this equipment, we can reduce the number of sessions and shorten surgery times, offering an even faster and more personalized service to the residents of Bologna and its province.
The advantages of digital dentistry for patients in Bologna and its province
Adopting a digital approach means not only having the latest equipment, but also redefining the way dental care is conceived. Those who live in Bologna and the province of Bologna will appreciate concrete benefits, such as:
Reduction of waiting times
Thanks to the in-house production of prosthetic devices, patients don’t have to wait for external laboratories to complete the work. The BestMill milling machine and the Agiga 3D printer allow us to carry out the various production phases quickly and efficiently.
Greater precision
The Trios 3 and Trios 5 intraoral scanners capture the patient’s dental anatomy in real time, providing extremely accurate data. This translates into more precise interventions and perfectly adapted prosthetic devices.
Comfort and reduced stress
The elimination of traditional impressions with impression pastes and trays is a great advantage for patients who experience discomfort or have a pronounced gag reflex.
High level of customization
Prosthetic reconstructions and orthodontic devices are made to measure the specific clinical and anatomical characteristics of the patient, reducing the need for subsequent alterations and adjustments.
Transparency and control
The patient can visualize a 3D image of their mouth together with the dentist, thus better understanding the proposed treatment plan and participating more actively in therapeutic decisions.
How technological innovation improves the patient experience
The adoption of the latest technologies is not just a matter of pride, but a real commitment to providing quality dental care while minimizing inconvenience and complications. Let’s take a closer look at how this digital transformation translates into concrete advantages.
Guided implantology and surgical guides
Through digital planning and 3D printing of surgical templates, guided implantology achieves extremely high levels of precision. This approach:
- Helps to optimally define the positioning of the implant
- Reduces the margin of error
- Minimizes trauma to soft and bone tissue
- Accelerates healing time
For patients in Bologna and the surrounding area, this means safer, less invasive surgery and a speedier recovery.
Modern orthodontics with intraoral scanners
With the Trios 5 scanner, the orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning phase is simplified and highly accurate. Those who need orthodontic appliances can count on:
- Personalized treatments
- Possibility to visualize the final result even before starting therapy (3D simulation)
- Faster and more controlled treatment plans
One-day dentistry crowns and bridges
The combination of scanner, CAD/CAM software and BestMill milling machine allows our team to produce crowns and bridges in a very short time. In many situations, it is possible to complete the prosthesis in the same day (one-day dentistry), eliminating long periods with uncomfortable temporary prostheses or interminable waiting times.
