The iTero® digital scanner is an advanced tool that allows for precise and comfortable digital impressions, improving the overall dental experience for patients. At Rhawnhurst Family Dentistry, Dr. Akshay Dhall uses the iTero scanner to provide more accurate treatment planning and better results for various dental procedures. With this state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that your dental care is as efficient and comfortable as possible.
What is the iTero Digital Scanner?
The iTero digital scanner is an intraoral scanning device that captures detailed, 3D images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional dental impressions, which require messy trays and putty, the iTero scanner uses a small, handheld wand to quickly and comfortably capture digital impressions in real time. These impressions are then used to plan treatments with exceptional accuracy.
The iTero scanner is used for a variety of dental treatments, including:
- Orthodontic treatment: The iTero scanner is especially helpful for creating digital impressions used in clear aligner therapy, such as Invisalign® treatment.
- Restorative treatments: It allows for the precise planning of crowns, bridges and other restorations, ensuring a perfect fit.
- Monitoring progress: The scanner can track changes in your teeth and gums over time, helping to monitor treatment progress or identify potential issues early on.
Our dentist and team rely on the iTero scanner to enhance the quality of care, reduce the need for repeat impressions and make treatments more efficient.
