A fast, comfortable alternative to traditional impressions, intra-oral scanning allows us to plan your treatment with greater accuracy.
An intraoral scanner is a highly advanced handheld device that we use to obtain very accurate digital impressions of your teeth and gums. It is an alternative to the traditional method of taking analog impressions.
A light source, which is emitted from the scanner onto your teeth and gums, is processed in real time onto our computer screen using a sophisticated software program to create a 3D model.
No X-rays are emitted from the scanner, so it is totally safe.
Intra-oral scanning helps us thoroughly examine your teeth and gums in great details on the computer screen.
This means we can provide a more thorough and precise treatment plan to cater for your individual needs.
An intra-oral scan can be used to monitor and accurately measure changes that occur in your mouth, such as tooth movement and tooth wear.
It is used to help design and construct crowns, veneers, bridges, dentures, implant-supported crowns and bridges, occlusal splints and mouthguards.
It is also very useful in planning prior to the placement of dental implants.
You might think that an intra-oral scanner is just another gimmick dentists use. We can tell you from experience that is has helped us make the dental experience so much better.
Intra-oral scanning is a non-invasive way of obtaining quick, clean and very accurate impressions. It is a far more pleasant experience than the traditional method of impression taking.
