Unimagined only a few years ago, high-technology tools for the dental practice are now widely available. Ranging from video cameras to computer-enhanced diagnostics that fabricate porcelain restorations on site, these new technologies have many applications in esthetic dentistry. Because they make it easier to communicate to patients what can realistically be achieved, high-technology tools tend to involve the patient more in treatment planning and thus may help prevent disappointing outcomes.
就在几年前还无法想象的牙科高科技工具，如今已广泛可得。从摄像机到能现场制作烤瓷修复体的计算机辅助诊断设备，这些新技术在美容牙科领域有诸多应用。由于它们能更轻松地向患者传达实际可达成的效果，高科技工具往往能让患者更多地参与到治疗计划中，从而有助于防止出现令人失望的结果。
