If you have ever had a restorative procedure like a crown or bridge, or have been fitted for orthodontic braces, you probably know what traditional impressions are. They are used to create a 3D model of your teeth and oral structures, and with them, you have to bite down on a wet chunk of cement for several minutes. It's uncomfortable for most people, and patients with sensitive gag reflexes have trouble even doing it at all. Digital scanning offers a better alternative.
Increased Comfort and Better Treatment Planning
Digital impressions are not only more comfortable for you. They are also more precise, ready more quickly (saving you up to 15 minutes of total time in the chair), and stored more easily than bite down impressions, which may have to be redone if they become damaged in storage. The most important advantage is the fact that digital images are more accurate than cement bite downs. When your dentist has all the right information, treatment planning is greatly improved for better results overall.
Digital scanning is used for treatments like crowns, bridges, inlays/onlays, and even Invisalign.
