iTero® Digital Impression System
Conventional vs Digital Impressions
Why Choose Digital Impressions?
No more goop, gagging, or discomfort! With an iTero scanner, your dentist can take highly accurate digital impressions. Unlike traditional methods, digital impressions eliminate the need for trays and putty. This outdated experience, often compared to stuffing a huge wad of gum in your mouth, is now a thing of the past.
Traditional impression techniques can be unpleasant and may require several attempts. Impressions might be rejected, broken, or misplaced, which is frustrating. Fortunately, the iTero scanner improves overall accuracy from the very beginning. As a result, your treatment is smoother and much more comfortable.
The Benefits of Digital Impressions
Digital impressions let you see your own teeth instantly in 3D. Because of this, communication during your dental consultation and treatment improves significantly. Additionally, faster feedback means fewer visits and a more predictable outcome.
How Does the iTero Scanner Work?
The iTero scanner digitally captures the structure of your teeth and gums using advanced optical technology. This device is a compact, hand-held wand that makes the process simple and non-invasive. Once scanning begins, your dentist can start and stop at any time if needed.
Your mouth is scanned with a radiation-free laser, and within just two to three minutes, a digitally perfect 3D image appears. Thanks to digital software, you can follow the scanning progress and view a complete model of your teeth on our computer screen.
Flexible Dental Solutions
The iTero scanner works for restorative treatments such as crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays, bridges, and implants. In addition, it is also perfect for orthodontic treatments like Invisalign®.

Intraoral Camera – Digital Imaging
Prevention is essential in dental health. We continually seek the latest technology to help you maintain a healthy smile for life. Although X-rays are valuable, they cannot show every detail inside your mouth.
That’s why, with an intraoral camera, we can view every aspect of your teeth and mouth in incredible detail. This approach reveals problems such as cracked teeth, plaque buildup, cavities near fillings, and excess wear. When issues are caught early, treatment is far less invasive and can also be much more cost-effective.
