Intra-Oral Digital Scanner | Rolling Meadows
What is an Intra-Oral Digital Scanner?
An intra-oral scanner is a cutting-edge tool used in our dental office, 32 Dental 4U in Rolling Meadows, that captures high-resolution digital impressions of a patient’s teeth and gums. The scanner uses a small, handheld device that fits comfortably in the mouth, capturing detailed 3D images without the need for traditional, messy dental molds. This state-of-the-art technology enhances precision and improves the overall patient experience by making the process faster and more efficient.
What are the benefits of using an Intra-Oral Digital Scanner at 32 Dental 4U?
For patients, the intra-oral scanner offers several benefits. It eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional impression materials, especially for those with a sensitive gag reflex. The scanning process is non-invasive and takes only a few minutes, reducing chair time and making appointments more comfortable. The high-resolution images also allow for more accurate treatment planning, leading to better-fitting restorations like crowns, bridges, and aligners, resulting in improved patient outcomes.
Why do we use 3-D imaging in our Rolling Meadows dental office?
At 32 Dental 4U, the intra-oral scanner is used for a variety of purposes, including creating digital impressions for crowns, veneers, implants, and orthodontic treatments.
