Say Goodbye to Messy Dental Impressions

In the past, getting a dental impression meant sitting with a tray full of uncomfortable goop in your mouth. The iTero digital scanner changes this entirely. We use a small, handheld wand to take highly detailed digital images of your mouth in just a few minutes.

This process is completely non-invasive and incredibly gentle. It provides an excellent solution for patients who have a strong gag reflex or experience anxiety about traditional impression methods.

How the Digital Scanning Process Works

The digital scanning process is both fast and precise. As we gently guide the wand over your teeth, the iTero system instantly builds a highly accurate 3D model of your mouth.

You can watch this detailed image appear on a computer screen right next to your chair in real time. We use this interactive digital model to show you exactly what we see, explain your current oral health, and discuss your treatment plan clearly.

Better Fits and Faster Treatments

The high level of detail provided by the iTero scanner leads to superior outcomes for your smile. Because the digital files are exact, the custom dental appliances we create will fit your mouth flawlessly.

We use this versatile technology to plan and execute a wide range of procedures, including:

  • Custom dental crowns and bridges
  • Porcelain veneers
  • Orthodontic treatments and clear aligners
  • Precise dental implant planning

Furthermore, we can send these digital files directly to our specialized dental lab the moment your scan is complete. This streamlined digital workflow reduces the turnaround time for your custom dental work, meaning you get to enjoy your new smile much faster.
