Intraoral scanning is a digital imaging technique used in dentistry to produce accurate three-dimensional models of the mouth and teeth. It uses a handheld wand or scanner, which contains an optical sensor or laser scanner, to capture images of the teeth and mouth from various angles. The scanned images are then transmitted to a computer for further processing. Intraoral scanners can be used for various purposes such as dental restorations, creating impressions for making dentures, orthodontic braces and other appliances. Intraoral scanners allow for more precise measurements than traditional methods like plaster casts, making them invaluable for both diagnosis and treatment planning for procedures like crowns, bridges and implants. Additionally, intraoral scanning eliminates the need for messy impression materials and saves time compared to traditional methods. We can work in tandem with your family dentist to scan any implants during the implant procedure so that a crown can be ready for placement once the appropriate recovery period has elapsed.
