FAQ

What is digital scanning?

Digital scanning in dentistry is a modern technique used to create precise digital models of your teeth and gums. It involves using advanced technology to capture detailed, three-dimensional images of your mouth, which are then used for various dental procedures such as designing crowns, bridges, implants and orthodontic appliances. Digital scanning replaces traditional impression methods, providing a more comfortable and accurate experience for patients.

How does a digital dental scan work?

A digital dental scan is performed using an intraoral scanner, a small handheld device that captures high-resolution images of your teeth and gums. During the procedure, the scanner is moved around your mouth, and its camera takes hundreds of photos per second. These images are instantly processed by specialized software to create a precise 3D digital model of your oral structures. The process is quick, noninvasive and typically completed within a few minutes.

How does digital scanning benefit me?

Digital scanning offers several benefits, including increased comfort and accuracy. Unlike traditional impressions, which can be uncomfortable and messy, digital scans are quick and painless, without the need for putty-like materials. The precise digital models produced by the scanner ensure better-fitting dental restorations and appliances, leading to improved outcomes. Digital scans also streamline the treatment process, as the digital files can be easily shared with dental labs and other specialists, reducing the time required for procedures. Additionally, digital records are stored electronically, making them easy to access for future reference and reducing the need for physical storage space.
