At Lifeway Dental of Boca, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in dental technology to ensure the highest quality of care. One of the innovative tools we utilize in our office is the Intraoral Scanner.
What is an Intraoral Scanner?
An intraoral scanner is a cutting-edge device that captures highly accurate digital impressions of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional dental impressions, which require the use of messy and uncomfortable molds, the intraoral scanner offers a quick, comfortable, and precise alternative.
How Does It Work?
The intraoral scanner uses advanced imaging technology to create a 3D digital model of your mouth. The process involves a small, handheld device that our dentist will gently move around your mouth, capturing detailed images of your teeth, gums, and bite from various angles. These images are then compiled into a comprehensive digital model that can be used for various dental procedures.
Benefits of Using an Intraoral Scanner:
- Comfort: Say goodbye to the discomfort of traditional impression materials. The intraoral scanner offers a painless, non-invasive experience.
- Accuracy: The high-resolution images provide a more accurate and detailed impression, leading to better-fitting restorations and appliances.
- Speed: The digital impressions are ready instantly, reducing the time spent in the dental chair and allowing for faster turnaround on dental work.
- Digital Integration: The 3D model can be easily shared with dental labs and other specialists, streamlining your treatment process.
Applications in Dental Care
The intraoral scanner is a versatile tool used in a variety of dental procedures, including:
- Crowns and Bridges: Ensuring a precise fit for your restorations.
- Invisalign®: Creating accurate digital models for orthodontic treatment planning.
- Dental Implants: Facilitating the precise placement of implants for optimal results.
- Veneers: Designing custom veneers that fit perfectly and look natural.
