iTero Intraoral Scanner

The iTero scanner is an advanced digital scanning device used in dentistry to create highly accurate 3D images of a patient’s teeth and gums. It eliminates the need for traditional dental impressions, which often involve messy and uncomfortable molds, by using a handheld wand to capture detailed images of the oral cavity.

This scanner provides precise digital impressions, ensuring a high level of accuracy for various dental procedures, including crowns, bridges, veneers, and orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. The real-time visualization of images on a computer screen allows both our dentist and you to see the digital model of the teeth immediately, aiding in better communication and understanding of the treatment plan.

The non-invasive scanning process is quick and comfortable, making it easier for patients, especially those with a strong gag reflex or anxiety about traditional impression methods. Additionally, the digital workflow facilitated by the iTero scanner speeds up the overall treatment process, as digital impressions can be sent directly to the dental lab, reducing the turnaround time for custom dental appliances.

The iTero scanner is versatile, used for a wide range of dental applications, including restorative work, orthodontics, and implant planning. Its high level of detail and accuracy helps create better-fitting dental restorations and more effective orthodontic treatments, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.
