What is Digital Dentistry?
Digital dentistry refers to the use of digital technologies — including 3D intraoral scanners, CAD/CAM systems, digital X-rays, and computer-guided implant planning — to replace traditional analogue methods in dental diagnosis and treatment.
The result: more accurate, faster, more comfortable dental care — with outcomes that are consistently superior to conventional techniques.
Dr. Tanmoy Das Dental Clinic in Malda is the first and only dental clinic in Malda to introduce the Medit i700 intraoral 3D scanner — bringing world-class digital dentistry to patients in Malda, Englishbazar, and across the Malda district.
The Medit i700: Malda's First 3D Intraoral Scanner
The Medit i700 is one of the world's leading intraoral 3D scanners, used in dental clinics across Europe, North America, and Asia's most advanced dental practices.
It works by projecting structured light onto the teeth and gums and capturing thousands of data points per second to create a precise, full-colour 3D digital model of your mouth — in just a few minutes.
What Does It Replace?
Traditionally, dentists took impressions using a tray filled with alginate or PVS impression material — a process that was:
- Messy and uncomfortable (patients often gagged)
- Time-consuming (impressions had to be poured in plaster)
- Less accurate (material could distort or shrink)
- Environmentally wasteful
The Medit i700 replaces all of this with a clean, fast, highly accurate digital scan that patients consistently describe as the most comfortable part of their appointment.
How Digital Scanning Benefits Different Treatments
1. Dental Implants: Precision Planning
Before the Medit i700, implant planning relied on standard 2D X-rays combined with physical impressions. This left margin for error.
With the Medit i700 combined with a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan, Dr. Tanmoy Das creates a complete 3D map of your bone structure, nerve positions, and adjacent teeth. The implant is then:
- Virtually placed in a computer simulation before surgery
- Positioned with surgical guide templates (where needed) for millimetre-precise placement
- Result verified digitally before the crown is even fabricated
This dramatically improves implant success rates and reduces surgical complications.
2. Zirconia Crowns & Bridges: Same-Day Potential
With traditional impressions, fabricating a crown required sending physical casts to an external lab — adding days or weeks to treatment.
Digital scans are sent instantly to our lab partners, who use CAD/CAM milling machines to produce highly accurate zirconia or porcelain crowns from the exact digital specifications.
3. Clear Aligners: Visualise Your Result Before You Start
For clear aligner treatment, the digital scan generates a 3D simulation showing the predicted tooth movement at each stage of treatment — allowing both Dr. Das and the patient to see the expected final result before treatment begins.
This transparency helps patients make confident decisions about their orthodontic care.
4. Implant-Supported Dentures
Full-arch restorations (replacing all teeth) demand exceptional accuracy. A 0.5 mm error in a conventional impression can mean an ill-fitting denture. The Medit i700 captures full-arch geometry with sub-millimetre accuracy — critical for long-lasting, comfortable dentures.
Benefits for Patients at a Glance
- No more messy impressions — clean, fast, comfortable
- Faster treatment — digital workflow shortens lab turnaround
- More accurate results — better-fitting crowns, aligners, and implants
- See your results before treatment starts (for aligners)
- Permanent digital record — your scan is stored; re-scans are instant
