Scanners and Printers
If you have been visiting the dentist for years, you likely remember “the goop.” That cold, messy tray filled with impression material that you had to bite down on and hold for what felt like an eternity. It was often uncomfortable, triggered a gag reflex, and tasted unpleasant.
We believe in a comfortable and stress-free environment. We have said goodbye to the goop and welcomed the future. We have taken a step further to make your treatment faster and more precise by using advanced digital scanners and 3D printers.
Here is how these incredible tools are changing the way we care for your smile.
Intraoral Scanners
We can take a “digital impression” of your teeth with the help of an intraoral scanner, a small, handheld wand. It is about the size of a large electric toothbrush.. Instead of filling your mouth with impression material, we simply wave the wand over your teeth.Â
The scanner captures thousands of images in seconds and combines them to create a highly accurate, 3D color map of your mouth on a computer screen.
Why You Will Love It:
- Zero Discomfort: When we use it, you can breathe and swallow normally. You will find no messy trays, no bad taste, and most importantly, no gagging.
- Instant Feedback: Your smile is visible on the screen right alongside us. This makes it easier for you to understand exactly what is going on with your oral health and see the treatment plan clearly.
- Incredible Precision: Compared to traditional molds, digital scans are often far more accurate. As a result, your crowns, bridges, aligners and dentures will fit better, feel more natural, and last longer.
Crafting Your Smile on Demand: 3D Printers
Our in-office 3D printers bring the solution to life after scanners take pictures of your teeth. In the past, we had to wait weeks to make your dental appliances after sending your impressions to an outside lab. Now, many procedures can be done right here.
With microscopic accuracy, our medical-grade 3D printers create dental appliances layer by layer using liquid resins.
How This Benefits You:
- Custom Fit: Because the printer works from the hyper-accurate data of the digital scanner, the fit is impeccable. This reduces the need for adjustments and ensures your appliance is comfortable from day one.
- Faster Results: Waiting weeks for a night guard, a surgical guide for implants, or even temporary crowns or even a new set of dentures is no longer required. Your appliances can be designed and printed during a single visit or within a few days.
- Convenience: You can get back to your busy life with your smile restored sooner with fewer appointments and less waiting time.
How This Helps Fabricate Dentures Faster
At our office, we use advanced digital technology, including intraoral scanners and in-office 3D printers, to streamline the denture fabrication process. Dentures can often be fabricated much faster, significantly reducing turnaround time. Digital scanning eliminates the need for multiple physical impressions and manual lab steps. Using precise digital data, dentures can be designed digitally and fabricated with extreme accuracy, reducing remakes, adjustments, and long lab delays. This means fewer visits, improved comfort, and faster delivery of your new dentures.
Better Tech Means Better Care
Spending money on technology does not mean getting the newest devices; we invest because it directly improves your experience. Technology is helping us remove discomfort, as it has made it easier to take impressions in a shorter time, allowing us to focus more efficiently on what really matters to you.
Digital dentistry has made logistics handling easier, so we can spend more time perfecting your smile
