Enhancing Dental Care With iTero Digital Scanning
Our office utilizes iTero digital scanning to create detailed three-dimensional images of your mouth. This cutting-edge technology enhances the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning by capturing high-quality images of your teeth and surrounding structures. Whether you need orthodontic treatment, restorative procedures or preventive care, iTero scanning allows our dentist to assess your oral health with precision and efficiency.
Advanced Imaging For Improved Accuracy
The iTero scanner captures up to 20 images per second in full color, enabling our dentist to clearly differentiate between healthy and compromised tissues. These highly detailed images allow us to build accurate digital models of your teeth and gums, ensuring that any dental restorations, appliances or orthodontic treatments fit precisely. Additionally, iTero’s simulation technology can provide a preview of your anticipated treatment outcome, helping you visualize your new smile before treatment begins.
A Comfortable & Efficient Scanning Process
During an iTero digital scan, a small, handheld wand is gently moved across the surfaces of your teeth. The scanner processes images in real time, compiling a complete and highly accurate digital model of your mouth within minutes. The process is quick, noninvasive and does not require traditional impression materials, eliminating the mess and discomfort associated with conventional molds. Furthermore, iTero automatically saves images every few seconds, reducing the need for multiple scans and ensuring a smooth experience.
Transforming Dental Treatment Planning
With iTero digital scanning, our dentist can plan treatments with greater confidence and precision. This technology plays a crucial role in restorative procedures such as crowns, bridges and veneers, as well as orthodontic treatments like clear aligners. The enhanced accuracy of digital impressions leads to better-fitting restorations and appliances, ultimately improving both function and aesthetics.
