At our Middletown, NJ practice, we’re committed to offering dental care that’s both comfortable and cutting-edge. That’s why we’ve invested in advanced digital technology like our intraoral scanner, which allows us to take precise, mess-free impressions in minutes. Dr. Jay Gohel and our team believe that modern dentistry should enhance the patient experience at every level—from diagnosis to treatment planning—and our digital impressions system is a clear example of this philosophy in action. With years of expertise and a passion for personalized care, we ensure each visit feels efficient, informative, and fully tailored to your needs.
Unlike traditional impression methods that rely on bulky trays and goopy materials, our digital scanner provides a quicker and more comfortable alternative. Patients appreciate the improved accuracy, reduced chair time, and seamless integration with restorative treatments like crowns, bridges, and aligners. Dr. Gohel uses this technology to capture highly detailed images, allowing for more precise outcomes and fewer adjustments during treatment. Our approach combines high-tech efficiency with a gentle, communicative style of care—so whether you’re receiving a simple scan or preparing for a more complex procedure, you’ll always feel informed, relaxed, and well cared for.
Modern dentistry is constantly evolving to improve patient experiences and treatment outcomes. Digital impressions with an Intraoral scanner are ideal for those seeking more accurate, comfortable, and convenient care—especially when undergoing procedures like crowns, bridges, aligners, or implants.
It’s often recommended in the following situations:
Digital impressions represent a significant advancement in dental diagnostics and treatment planning. Instead of using impression trays filled with putty, the intraoral scanner quickly captures a detailed 3D image of the teeth and gums. This results in higher accuracy, better communication with dental labs, and a much more comfortable experience for the patient.
The benefits of digital impressions include:
While all digital impression systems aim to enhance precision and efficiency, the specific equipment and techniques we use depend on your treatment goals. Our office selects the most appropriate technology based on the procedure being performed and your comfort.
Common options include:
Our intraoral scanner ensures a comfortable and efficient experience while capturing the detailed imagery necessary for top-tier dental care. Every scan is tailored to your unique anatomy and treatment goals, allowing us to provide exceptional results with maximum precision.
An intraoral scanner is a handheld digital device used to capture a 3D image of your teeth and gums. It replaces traditional impression methods by scanning the mouth with a small camera, offering a more comfortable and accurate experience.
The process typically takes only a few minutes, depending on the area being scanned. Most scans for crowns or aligners are completed in under 10 minutes.
Not at all. The intraoral scanner is small, smooth, and does not involve trays or materials in your mouth. It is ideal for patients who have a sensitive gag reflex or dislike traditional impressions.
Yes, digital impressions are generally more precise. The scanner captures detailed, real-time images, which reduce the chance of distortion and improve the fit of dental restorations.
They are commonly used for crowns, bridges, veneers, implants, orthodontic aligners, night guards, and retainers. They are also useful for monitoring changes in your bite or tooth positioning over time.
Digital impressions and digital radiography serve different purposes in dental care. Digital impressions use optical scanning technology to create accurate 3D models of your teeth and gums—commonly used for procedures like crowns, bridges, and aligners. Digital radiography, on the other hand, uses low-dose X-rays to capture detailed images of your teeth, roots, and jawbone, helping diagnose issues beneath the surface. Both technologies enhance precision and comfort but focus on different aspects of your dental health.
Absolutely. The scanner uses non-invasive light imaging technology and does not involve any radiation, making it completely safe for routine use.
Insurance coverage varies. In most cases, digital impressions are considered part of the procedure’s overall cost. We’re happy to review your plan and provide a detailed estimate.
Yes, the 3D image appears on a monitor in real-time. We can zoom in and rotate the model to show you areas of concern and explain treatment options more clearly.
No, in most cases, digital impressions replace traditional methods entirely. However, for certain specialized procedures, traditional methods may still be recommended alongside digital imaging for optimal accuracy.
I hadn’t been to a dentist in 12 years. I’m not proud of it, but the fear was real. Dr. Heering was the first dentist who didn’t dismiss it. He offered sedation and took time to explain everything before we even got started. I cried in the chair — not from pain, but because I finally felt safe. If dental anxiety is holding you back, this is the place to go. Don’t wait like I did.
I came in for a second opinion about getting implants. Dr. Gohel didn’t try to sell me anything. He showed me the X-rays, explained my options in plain English, and told me what he'd do if he were in my shoes. That kind of honesty is rare. I decided to move forward with the implants and haven’t looked back. Chewing feels normal again — like I got part of my life back.
My wisdom teeth were impacted and infected. I was in so much pain I couldn’t eat or sleep. Dr. Condello got me in the next morning and walked me through everything. The sedation worked like a charm, and he even called to check on me later that night. It wasn’t fun, obviously, but they turned what could’ve been a nightmare into a manageable, respectful experience.
I used to be the ‘closed-mouth smile’ girl in every picture. My front teeth were uneven and a little discolored, and I hated them. Dr. Gohel recommended veneers and showed me a mockup of what they could look like. The process was surprisingly easy, and now? I’m obsessed. My smile looks like it belongs in a toothpaste commercial. I wish I’d done this years ago.
Our whole family goes here — me, my wife, and our two daughters. Dr. Heering is great at making kids feel comfortable without dumbing things down. My girls actually look forward to going. And for me, it’s the peace of mind knowing we’re all getting top-level care in one place. You don’t get that often.
I cracked a molar on a piece of popcorn Friday night — sharp pain, couldn’t chew. Called the office Saturday morning and they told me to come right in. Dr. Condello patched it up quickly and got me a plan for a crown. They saved my weekend, honestly.
I’m a tech nerd, so I was fascinated watching the scanner make a 3D map of my mouth in real time. No trays, no mess, and I could see the image on the screen. Dr. Gohel used it to fit my crown and it was perfect on the first try. Dentistry has come a long way!
I’ve done whitening kits at home and always ended up with those sharp zaps of pain in my teeth. Not here. Dr. Heering used something gentler, and the results were still amazing. Zero sensitivity. 10/10.
I came in for a regular cleaning, and Dr. Gohel offered a screening because I mentioned my dad had oral cancer. He found a small patch on the side of my tongue and referred me to a specialist just to be safe. Thankfully it was nothing, but I had no idea dentists even did that. It really changed how I see dental visits — it’s not just teeth.
I lost most of my teeth years ago due to poor dental habits and some health issues. I’d been hiding my mouth and relying on loose-fitting dentures. Dr. Condello suggested All-on-4, and I wasn’t sure I could afford it, but we worked out a plan. The surgery went smoothly, and now I feel like a new man. I eat better, smile more, and honestly feel more like myself again. It was worth every penny.
I’ve been coming here for over 15 years — even after moving 45 minutes away. That should tell you everything. The staff is warm, the dentists are brilliant, and they’ve kept my smile healthy through every stage of life.
We started coming here when our son needed his first cleaning. Now he’s in college, and we’re all still patients. They remember your name, they ask about your life — it doesn’t feel like an appointment, it feels like catching up with people who genuinely care.
I used to dread dental visits. But this team is kind, patient, and actually fun to talk to. Everyone — from the front desk to the hygienists to the doctors — treats you like a human, not a number. That makes all the difference.
My daughter never liked the dentist — until we switched here. Now she actually reminds me when it’s time to schedule her cleanings. That’s how good they are.
I appreciate how respectful they are of my time. I’ve never waited more than five minutes past my appointment, and they explain everything upfront. No hidden fees, no pressure, just quality care every time.
Dr. Gohel has been my dentist since I was in my twenties. I’m in my fifties now. Through moves, pregnancies, and one very stubborn root canal, I’ve never once considered going elsewhere.
I was tired of hearing horror stories from my husband’s dentist, so I finally convinced him to come here. Now we both go, and he tells everyone he wishes he’d switched years ago.
The office is spotless, the chairs are comfortable, and the tech they use is top-notch. You can tell they invest in quality, and it makes the whole experience feel more professional.
Not just my name — they remember my dog’s name, my last vacation, the fact that I was nervous about getting a crown a year ago. It’s personal here. That matters.
From the moment you walk in, they make you feel at ease. The front desk is efficient, the hygienists are gentle but thorough, and the dentists are down-to-earth. It’s the kind of place you actually look forward to visiting.
Good vibes, skilled doctors, zero stress. I’ve sent five coworkers here and all of them had the same reaction: ‘Why didn’t I find this place sooner?’
I came in years ago with a mess of dental problems and a lot of embarrassment. The team never judged, just helped me fix things one step at a time. I’m proud of my smile now — and they’re a big reason why.
I had bounced around from dentist to dentist before finding this office. That was ten years ago. Now I can’t imagine going anywhere else. They earned my trust and loyalty.
