🦷 What’s New in Dentistry? Top Innovations Changing the Way We Smile in 2025

At Smiles of Spokane, we’re committed to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to dental technology and patient care. Dentistry is evolving fast — and we’re here to keep you informed (and excited!) about the latest ways we can care for your smile.

Here are some of the biggest dental trends making waves in 2025:

1. AI-Powered Diagnostics

Artificial intelligence is transforming how we detect oral health issues. From identifying early signs of cavities to spotting gum disease and even oral cancers, AI-enhanced imaging allows for more accurate and earlier diagnoses — often with just a single scan.

🧠 What it means for you: Faster checkups, clearer explanations, and more personalized care.

2. Same-Day Restorations Are Becoming the Norm

With in-office milling technology like CEREC®, patients can now receive custom crowns, veneers, and inlays in just one visit. No more temporaries. No more weeks of waiting.

💡 At Smiles of Spokane, we proudly offer same-day crowns to save you time — without compromising quality.

3. 3D Printing in Dentistry

3D printing isn’t just for engineering anymore. Today, it’s used to create dental models, aligners, retainers, and surgical guides with extreme precision — improving outcomes and cutting costs.

🛠️ The result? Faster, better-fitting, more comfortable dental appliances.

4. Laser Dentistry

Dental lasers are now being used for gum reshaping, cavity removal, and teeth whitening — with less discomfort and quicker healing. Many procedures that once required anesthetic and stitches can now be done with light.

🌟 Think minimally invasive treatments with maximum results.

5. Teledentistry Is Here to Stay

While virtual dental care surged during the pandemic, it’s now become a permanent part of many practices. You can get consultations, post-op checks, or second opinions — all from the comfort of home.

📱 Need a quick smile check? Some visits might not require you to leave the couch.

6. A Bigger Focus on Wellness and Prevention

More practices are emphasizing the connection between oral health and overall health. From sleep apnea screenings to inflammation control, dentistry is becoming more integrated into your whole-body care.

🫀 A healthy smile = a healthy heart, brain, and body.
