Check Out The New Addition In Our Office
Are you amazed at some of the changes that you have seen in treatments and dental technology over the past many years? The world of dental health is continuously evolving at a rapid pace and we believe in upgrading our dental technology whenever we feel it is beneficial to the comfort and level of service we can offer our patients. We have recently added a new piece of technology to our office that will improve the quality of treatment we offer to our patients. Read on to learn more about this new technology and how it can benefit your treatment.
What is an iTero Scanner?
Many treatments that we provide in our office require an impression of the teeth, and most patients really dislike the goopy substance used in the traditional method of taking impressions. We have recently added the iTero Scanner to our office. This piece of technology allows our team to take digital impressions of your teeth. It is an advanced digital impression machine with a small wand attached that is used in the mouth to take images of your teeth and mouth. Each tooth can be accurately scanned and immediately displayed in 3D on a computer screen. It can help save time during a lengthy treatment.
Benefits of the iTero Scanner
Patients love being included in their treatment plan. With the iTero Scanner, we are able to share images immediately with patients. It helps us explain what they are seeing, and patients are able to grasp the state of their oral health much easier. We can quickly point out the exact location of damage to teeth and gums. There are numerous additional benefits of the iTero Scanner technology:
- No goopy putty to bite into to take impressions
- Small wand used to take images which is beneficial to patients with heightened gag reflexes
- Ability to share images digitally with patients
- Scanning process is fast and can be completed in a few short minutes
- Accurate, detailed, color, 3D images eliminate the need for retakes
