Digital scanners represent a significant advancement in dental technology, offering a fast and precise way to capture detailed dental impressions. We leverage this innovative tool to enhance patient comfort and improve treatment outcomes. Our skilled dentists and team are committed to providing the highest standard of care, utilizing state-of-the-art technology in a professional and friendly environment.
Digital scanners use light to accurately capture the structure of teeth and gums in seconds. This technology replaces the traditional method of creating dental impressions, which often involved filling a tray with a putty-like material that patients had to bite into and hold in their mouth. Digital impressions are not only more comfortable but also provide exceptionally precise images necessary for effective treatment planning and fabrication of dental restorations such as crowns, bridges and clear aligners.
Key benefits of using digital scanners include:
- Enhanced Accuracy: Produces highly accurate dental images, reducing the risk of errors in dental restorations.
- Improved Patient Comfort: Eliminates the discomfort of traditional impression materials, providing a more pleasant experience.
- Faster Turnaround: Digital files are instantly available, speeding up the overall treatment process.
- Eco-Friendly: Reduces waste associated with traditional impression materials and methods.
