Digital Scans (with iTero™ Digital Scanner)
Dental iTero™ digital scanning is a state-of-the-art technology used in dentistry for capturing highly accurate 3D digital impressions of a patient’s teeth and oral structures. Instead of using traditional impression materials like putty or trays, the iTero scanner employs a handheld wand that captures thousands of images per second. These images are then pieced together to create a precise digital model of the patient’s dentition.
The iTero scanner offers numerous advantages over traditional impression techniques. It eliminates the need for messy and uncomfortable impression materials, reducing patient discomfort and anxiety. The digital scanning process is quicker, more efficient, and more comfortable for patients, as it allows for a faster and more streamlined dental visit. Additionally, the digital impressions can be immediately sent to dental laboratories or used in CAD/CAM systems for the fabrication of restorations such as crowns, bridges, or clear aligners.
The iTero digital scanner also enables enhanced communication between dentists and patients. The scanned images can be displayed in real-time on a chairside monitor, allowing patients to visualize their treatment plan and better understand their dental conditions.
Overall, dental iTero digital scanning improves the accuracy, efficiency, and patient experience in various dental procedures, making it an invaluable tool in modern dentistry. For more accurate, less invasive, and very efficient digital dental scans, set up your appointment to visit Linglestown Family Dental in Harrisburg, PA.
