Digital Scanner (Impression Free)
One of the most exciting new technologies in dentistry today is an intraoral impression scanner. This scanner allows a dentist to do a 3D scan of a patient’s teeth and bite and use those images to make desired adjustments for transmission to a laboratory for appliance manufacturing.
This 3D scanner is not only exciting for dentists, providing more precise treatment planning for patients, but the patients themselves should also be excited. The 3D scanning allows accurate images of the mouth to construct “impressions” of the bite without having to suffer through trays of goop. The digital impression is not only “gag-free,” but avoids the possibility of voids or distortions that can happen with a normal mold. Digital impressions are more sanitary and eliminate shipping costs and storage problems for the molds, as well as hands-on x-ray films.
Digital scanning allows for accurate and comfortable imaging for all patients, leading to better results, whether needed for a procedure or for an oral appliance to fit perfectly inside the mouth.
