Enhancing Your Dental Care With Digital Scanners

Our office uses advanced digital scanning technology to improve the accuracy, efficiency and comfort of your dental care. A digital scanner allows our dentists and team to capture precise, three-dimensional images of your teeth and oral structures. This innovative tool eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions, providing you with a faster and more comfortable experience.

How Digital Scanners Work

When our team utilizes a digital scanner, a small, handheld wand is gently moved over your teeth and gums. As the scanner passes over your mouth, it captures multiple high-resolution images in real time. These images are instantly processed to create a detailed digital model of your oral structures. The entire process is quick, painless and highly accurate. Additionally, the scanner automatically saves images throughout the scan, ensuring that no data is lost and eliminating the need for repeat impressions.

Benefits of Digital Scanning

Digital scanning technology offers several advantages over traditional dental impressions. The highly detailed images allow for more precise diagnoses and treatment planning, ensuring that restorations, such as crowns, bridges and veneers, fit seamlessly. Digital scans also improve the process of designing Invisalign® clear aligners and other orthodontic appliances, resulting in better treatment outcomes.

Patients appreciate digital scanners because they eliminate the discomfort associated with traditional impression materials. There is no need for putty-like substances that can cause gagging or discomfort. Instead, the scanning process is smooth and noninvasive, making it ideal for patients of all ages.

Improving Treatment and Communication

The clear, full-color images captured by the scanner enable our team to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy tissue more effectively. These digital models can be used to educate patients about their oral health, allowing you to see exactly what our dentists and team see. This enhances communication and helps you make informed decisions about your treatment options.
