Intraoral Scanner (Digital Impressions)

An intraoral scanner is a dental device that captures a precise digital impression of the teeth and gums using a small handheld camera, replacing the old method of biting into a tray of putty-like impression material. The dentist gently moves the wand around the mouth, and within minutes a detailed three-dimensional model of the teeth appears on a screen. This digital model is then used to design and make crowns, bridges, veneers, implant restorations and clear orthodontic aligners with computer-aided technology. The result is greater accuracy, a faster and more comfortable visit, and no messy moulds.
