Digital Scanning
Digital scanning for accurate treatment
Digital scanning, also referred to as 3-D intraoral scanning, utilizes advanced technology to capture images and create impressions of the mouth. By employing computer-aided software and a wand-shaped tool, digital scanning generates a virtual representation of the mouth, displaying both the teeth and tissue with remarkable precision. This cutting-edge technique enables our doctors to promptly produce digital impressions and images, facilitating the swift creation of items like crowns, retainers, dentures, or bridges. Additionally, intraoral scanning aids in identifying teeth alignment issues and plays a crucial role in correcting orthodontic problems.
Explain digital scanning process
Digital scanning is a painless and quick process that involves using a wand and a computer to capture impressions of your teeth and mouth. The wand is gently moved around inside your mouth to capture images of your top and bottom teeth. As the wand moves, the computer instantly captures digital images and displays them on a screen. You can sit comfortably throughout the process while your impressions are taken.
