At Park Avenue Dental Group, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the most advanced dental technology to ensure accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and a comfortable experience. One of the revolutionary tools we use in our practice is the iTero Scanner, a state-of-the-art digital imaging system that has transformed the way we approach dental care.
What is the iTero Scanner?
The iTero Scanner is a cutting-edge intraoral scanner designed to capture detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional dental impressions that involve messy molds and discomfort, the iTero Scanner offers a quick, clean, and precise digital alternative. This technology enhances the accuracy of dental impressions, which is crucial for procedures like Invisalign, crowns, bridges, and implants.
Benefits of the iTero Scanner
1. Comfortable and Mess-Free Experience
Say goodbye to the uncomfortable, gooey impression materials of the past. The iTero Scanner uses a small, handheld wand to capture digital images, making the process more comfortable and less invasive.
2. Exceptional Accuracy
The high-resolution 3D images produced by the iTero Scanner allow for precise treatment planning. This accuracy reduces the likelihood of errors and ensures that your dental appliances fit perfectly.
3. Real-Time Visualization
Patients can see a real-time, 3D model of their teeth on the screen during the scanning process. This visualization helps you better understand your dental health and the recommended treatment plan.
4. Faster Turnaround Times
Digital impressions can be sent instantly to dental labs or Invisalign, speeding up the production process for your aligners, crowns, or other dental appliances. This means fewer appointments and quicker results.
5. Environmentally Friendly
By eliminating the need for disposable impression materials, the iTero Scanner contributes to a more eco-friendly dental practice.
How Does the iTero Scanner Work?
The process is simple and efficient:
- Preparation: The dentist or dental assistant will explain the procedure and ensure you are comfortable.
- Scanning: A small, handheld wand is gently moved around your mouth, capturing thousands of images per second.
- 3D Model Creation: The images are combined to create a detailed, interactive 3D model of your teeth and gums.
- Review and Planning: Your dentist will review the model with you, explaining your oral health and outlining the treatment plan.
iTero Scanner and Invisalign: A Perfect Match
For patients considering Invisalign, the iTero Scanner is an invaluable tool. It allows for precise digital impressions that are essential for designing custom aligners. Additionally, the iTero Scanner features a “Outcome Simulator”, which provides a preview of how your smile will look after Invisalign treatment, giving you a glimpse of your future results before you even start.
