What Are The Benefits Of Dental Intraoral Scanners?

Dental Intraoral Scanners From J&S DavisA product of the shift from traditional methods to digital restorative dentistry, intraoral scanners use real time imagery to produce 3D digital impressions of a patient’s teeth and gums. This helps to improve patient experience, comfort and treatment plans. The scans can be used for a wide range of purposes, from dictating implant placements, creating restorations, treatment planning, and fabricating dental restorations by informing the design and manufacture of bridges, veneers, crowns and other dental prostheses. A dental intraoral scanner would also be an asset to your practice for orthodontic processes, such as creating aligners, planning these procedures and simulating the movement of teeth. They are also able to diagnose dental caries and periodontal disease, spot an oral cavity, and monitor the progress of dental treatments. This is because digital models and scanning can assess the accuracy and effectiveness of restorative procedures.

How Does A Digital Scanning Process Compare To Traditional Methods?

The digital scanning process and digital dental impressions are fast becoming recognised as more effective and efficient alternatives to traditional impressions created using plaster models. Intraoral scanners ensure high accuracy, high efficiency and seamless results. A digital scanning process also allows for a digital workflow between your practice and dental laboratories, meaning improved, faster communication. It also enables better patient communication as they can better understand their teeth. By replacing physical impressions with 3D models, it is also a more pleasant experience for a patient, ensuring patient comfort by removing the need to insert messy impression material into the patient’s mouth. Intraoral scanning technology also means that any restorations are a better fit for the patient, ensuring patient satisfaction as well as long-lasting, high-quality results. Digital scanning is also much faster than the traditional methods used to create conventional impressions, helping you and all other dentists to save time and work efficiently.
