The iTero scanner captures up to 20 high-resolution images per second, delivering detailed and accurate digital impressions of your teeth, gums and supporting structures. These full-color images make it easier to identify any issues, such as cavities, gum disease or bite misalignments. In addition, iTero can simulate the outcome of certain treatments, such as orthodontics, so you can visualize the transformation of your smile before beginning care.
During your appointment, our dentists or hygiene team will use a small, handheld wand to scan the inside of your mouth. This process is quick, comfortable and free of messy impression materials. The digital images are processed instantly, providing a clear, precise picture of your oral health in real time. The scanner even saves the images automatically, so you will not need to worry about re-scanning.
One of the greatest benefits of iTero digital scanning is its ability to enhance the fit and function of dental restorations and appliances. Whether you need crowns, bridges, implants or aligners, the accuracy of these digital impressions ensures a perfect fit. This reduces the need for adjustments and shortens your overall treatment time. Plus, you’ll skip the messy, goopy alginate impressions that many patients find uncomfortable or gag-inducing.
iTero technology is also ideal for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign® clear aligners. The scanner allows us to monitor your progress closely and make adjustments as needed to keep your treatment on track.
At our office, we are committed to using the latest advancements in dental technology to provide you with exceptional care.
