Frequently Asked Questions

What is an intraoral scanner?

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.
