Intra oral scanner
An intraoral scanner is a small, handheld device that uses optical technology to capture detailed 3D digital images of your mouth. These images provide high-quality, precise data that can be used for creating crowns, bridges, veneers, orthodontic aligners, and more. Unlike traditional dental impressions, which use messy putty that can be uncomfortable, intraoral scanning is fast, hygienic, and completely non-invasive.
Benefits of Intraoral Scanning
Traditional dental impressions often involve having to bite down on uncomfortable trays filled with impression material. In contrast, intraoral scanning is completely non-invasive. The scanner is simply moved around the inside of your mouth, capturing detailed images in a matter of minutes.
Intraoral scanners provide immediate results. Instead of waiting days for physical impressions to be sent off and processed, a digital scan can be reviewed instantly, reducing the time required for follow-up appointments and speeding up the overall treatment process.
Digital impressions offer unmatched precision. The scans are highly accurate, allowing for better-fitting restorations, orthodontic appliances, and crowns. This precision reduces the likelihood of errors and the need for additional adjustments later in the treatment process.
The digital images captured by an intraoral scanner can be sent directly to dental laboratories, eliminating the need for physical models or shipping delays. This makes communication with the lab faster and more efficient, leading to quicker turnaround times for custom restorations or appliances.
Traditional impressions can be uncomfortable and messy, often requiring multiple attempts to get the right mold. With intraoral scanning, there’s no need for gooey materials or multiple tries. The process is smooth, quick, and clean.
detailed, 3D images captured by the intraoral scanner allow for a more thorough analysis of your teeth and gums. This leads to better treatment planning for procedures such as crowns, bridges, implants, and orthodontics.
Because digital impressions are quick and efficient, they reduce the time spent in the dental chair, making your visit more convenient and less stressful.
The use of cutting-edge technology enhances the overall patient experience. With faster, more comfortable procedures and minimal discomfort, patients are more likely to feel at ease during their dental visits.
