Meet the Tech: Why our Intraoral Scanner beats traditional molds

 If you have ever had a crown or bridge done in the past, you likely remember the most uncomfortable part: a metal tray filled with cold, sticky putty that you had to bite down on for several minutes. At our clinic, that process is a thing of the past.

What is an Intraoral Scanner?

It is a high-precision 3D camera that captures thousands of images of your teeth and gums in seconds. The result is an exact three-dimensional digital map of your mouth, instantly visible on a screen.

Why Digital beats Traditional:

1.      No more gag reflex: By eliminating impression pastes (alginate or silicone), we remove the choking sensation and unpleasant taste that old molds often cause.

2.      Absolute Accuracy: Putty molds can suffer from micro-deformations as they dry or while being transported to the lab. A digital scan is an exact replica, ensuring your crown or veneer fits with millimeter precision.

3.      Faster Turnaround: Instead of shipping a physical mold, we send an instantaneous digital file to our CAD/CAM design unit. This reduces wait times from days to hours.

4.      Real-Time Simulation: You can view the current state of your dental health in 3D and better understand the treatment plan proposed by our specialists.
