Although the role of the dentist has always been to promote healthy teeth and a white smile, modern technology has come a long way in recent years. Cutting-edge techniques have replaced many traditional methods and indeed, we are only beginning to appreciate the impact of this digital transformation.
A dentist now has countless tools at his or her disposal. As a result, a perfect smile and strong teeth are more of a reality than ever before. Three examples can be seen below.
– Lasers can now effectively treat conditions such as tooth decay and gum disease.
– 3D printing is beginning to revolutionise the world of orthodontics.
– LED cameras provide crisper and clearer pictures when compared to those only a handful of years ago.

How digital disruption is changing the dental industry for the better?
Dr. Colin Conway BDS BSc South AfricaWith more than 20 years experience in dental practice, Colin has never been more excited and passionate about his dentistry!
Colin grew up in South Africa, and completed studies toward research science and dentistry degrees in South Africa. He moved from Cape Town to the UK in April 2002, and has worked in some of the UK’s leading dental practices - gaining the experience and confidence to offer a wide range of dental services.
Says Colin: "I often joke that I moved to the UK for the weather! But actually I moved because the UK offers world-class opportunities for dentists to expand their knowledge and skillset, a fact which I have embraced. I am equally comfortable doing a dental check-up and cleaning, placing a dental implant or fitting braces to straighten teeth."
Colin lives in Windsor with his partner and two dogs, enjoying the city/country balance offered by its close proximity to London. On weekends, you’re likely to find him cycling along the river or in some of the great parks surrounding the town.
Dr. Bruce Mutch BDS South Africa Bruce has been in General Dental Practice for 30 years. Says Bruce: "I have always concentrated on Dental Health, getting patients healthy and showing them how it is possible to keep their own teeth for life.” Bruce has a special interest in Cosmetic Dentistry and Children’s Orthodontics. When he's not doing dentistry, you will find Bruce on the tennis court or walking his dog. "Animals have always been a big part of my life, and in my younger days I used to show jump competitively".
