Our office uses advanced Primescan intraoral scanning technology to capture highly detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth and oral structures. This state-of-the-art device allows our skilled dentist to diagnose conditions more accurately, plan treatments efficiently and create digital models without the need for traditional impressions. Intraoral scanning enhances patient comfort while providing precise data that supports a wide range of dental procedures, from restorative work to orthodontic treatments.
How Intraoral Scanners Work
When using an intraoral scanner, our team guides a small handheld device over your teeth and gums. As the scanner moves, it rapidly captures high-resolution images, which are instantly processed to create a digital model of your mouth. The process is quick, comfortable and eliminates the mess associated with traditional putty impressions. Since the scanner saves images in real time, there is no need for repeated scans, ensuring an efficient and stress-free experience.
Benefits of Digital Scanning
Intraoral scanning provides a more accurate and convenient alternative to conventional dental impressions. The high-quality, full-color images allow our team to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissues, aiding in early diagnosis and treatment planning. Additionally, the digital models generated by intraoral scanning improve the fit and function of restorations such as crowns, bridges, dentures and clear aligners.
This technology also enhances patient communication, as the digital images can be displayed on a screen to help you better understand your oral health and treatment options. Furthermore, intraoral scanning eliminates the discomfort of traditional impression materials, making it an excellent choice for patients with sensitive gag reflexes.
