The clinics are upgrading to intraoral scanners, which are used in different areas of clinical dentistry to improve patient outcomes.
“With this technology, we’re able to actually transform that experience and use different applications of clinical dentistry – whether that be crown and bridge, or whether that be something general, like just taking digital impressions so that we can study your bite and your teeth over time,” said Sonia Relingo, DDS, clinical director of UHC.
The grant will enable UHC to provide better dental care in its 10 clinics that serve rural communities, the report said.
