3D Scanner

The 3D dental intraoral scanner is a hand-held 3D scanning tool that is redefining the fundamentals of digital impression techniques in the dental industry. One of the most important aspects of the 3D dental intraoral scanner is the impact it has on a patient’s overall dental experience.3D model of teeth

Take a look at some of the following key advantages of this groundbreaking dental technology.

More Comfortable

When compared to the traditional molding techniques that often cause high levels of discomfort in patients, the 3D dental intraoral scanner offers a far more quick and convenient method of getting an accurate image of a patient’s teeth in order to create an impression. Instead of forcing a patient to remain seated in a chair for fifteen minutes to complete the impression procedure, the 3D dental intraoral technology can scan teeth wirelessly in a matter of seconds and without the use of powder, which helps save time and decrease patient discomfort to a large degree.

Improved Dentist-Patient Communication

The 3D dental intraoral scanners allow Dr. Drake to display a patient’s 3D-impression of their teeth on a screen almost immediately after the scan is complete. After seeing an up-close view of a digital impression, patients can grasp a better understanding of the condition of their teeth. The scanner also develops impressions in full color to aid the dialogue with Dr. Drake to improve treatment.

Treatment Versatility

The 3D dental intraoral scanner is highly versatile and able to service a wide range of different dental treatments, such as:

  • Implant-supported prosthesis
  • Temporary implant crowns
  • Planning for orthognathic surgery

Better Quality Restorations and Outcomes

Restorations made from 3D dental intraoral scanners are not only completed faster, they are also delivered with a more accurate fit and require less adjustments. These scanners have the ability to measure the shapes of teeth for digital precision while also highlighting details with the incorporation of high-level HD pictures in the 3D model. In addition, the precision of 3D dental intraoral scanners increase the precision of the treatment planning to give Dr. Drake’s patients the best outcomes.
