An intraoral scanner produces high-definition 3D images of the teeth and gums to create digital impressions. With an intraoral scanner, we can capture micro details that we would not get with the traditional method of taking dental impressions. Having more details means better-fitting and better-looking crowns, bridges, dentures, mouthguards, and more.

What Are Digital Impressions?
A digital impression is a computerized image of your teeth and gums. Traditionally, dental impressions have been made with a putty-like substance that a patient must bite down into and hold for several minutes. Digital impressions don’t involve any goopy, sticky substances, just a small intraoral scanner that fits easily in your mouth. The experience is much more comfortable and faster, too.
How It Works
We insert the intraoral scanner into your mouth, where it emits painless pulses of light to determine the size and shape of each tooth, your gum tissue, and your bite. With the aid of a special software program, we then translate all that information into high-quality, 3D digital images. It only takes about 90 seconds to create a digital impression of your entire mouth.
Digital impressions are far more accurate than traditional molds made with putty, and far more comfortable for our patients. One of the most important features of digital impressions is that we can use a computer program to enhance, enlarge, and manipulate the images for highly precise treatment planning.
