What Are Dental Scanners?
Dental, or intraoral scanners, are a type of digital technology that revolutionises restorative dentistry. Typically, they are small, handheld devices that allow dentists and dental clinics to produce digital impressions of a patient’s teeth, by taking real-time images inside of their mouth. They can usually produce 6,000 images per second, allowing for optimal accuracy and precision and a detailed 3D model of the patient’s gums and teeth. These images are not only used to produce digital impressions, they can also diagnose issues that may not be visible with the naked eye, help with the placement of dental implants and can be used for other orthodontic procedures.
How Can They Aid Dental Clinics? What Are The Benefits Of Digital Dental Scanners?
- Intraoral dental scanners enable a digital workflow which speeds up processes and increases their accuracy. This helps to optimise the efficiency of dental clinics and dental laboratories.
- Dental scanners help to produce more accurate and precise digital impressions, in comparison to conventional physical impressions. It is also a more pleasant and comfortable patient experience as digital intraoral scans are less invasive than traditional methods. This helps to ensure optimal patient comfort.
- They are flexible to a range of dental procedures, including the provision of bridges and crowns for teeth straightening, and placing implants. This makes them a good addition to any dental practice or dental laboratory.
- Intraoral scanning is also able to simulate images and digital models of the patient’s potential results. This is useful to consult and discuss before beginning a treatment plan.
- Due to their digital excellence, dental scanners can spot issues before they worsen and cause major issues. Digital dental scanners also allow dental clinics and professionals to track any progress or deterioration.
