At Dehyar Dental in Burke, VA, we are dedicated to providing our patients with efficient and comfortable dental care solutions. Our use of iTero® Digital Scanning represents a significant advancement in how dental impressions are taken, offering a seamless experience for both the and patient.
A Closer Look at iTero® Digital Scanning Technology
iTero® Digital Scanning is a cutting-edge technology that has transformed the traditional methods of obtaining dental impressions. Unlike the conventional putty-based impressions, which can be uncomfortable and time-consuming, iTero® scanners use optical technology to create a highly accurate 3D model of the patient’s teeth and gum structure. This innovative approach not only improves the patient’s comfort during the impression process but also enhances the precision of dental restorations.
The Benefits of Choosing iTero® Scans
Opting for iTero® Digital Scanning comes with numerous advantages:
- Enhanced Accuracy: The precision of iTero® scans ensures that restorations fit better, reducing the need for adjustments or remakes.
- Improved Patient Comfort: With no need for traditional impression materials, patients experience a more comfortable and gag-free procedure.
- Faster Turnaround Times: Digital scans can be sent electronically to dental labs, speeding up the production of restorations like crowns, bridges, and Invisalign® aligners.
- Better Treatment Planning: The detailed 3D models allow dentists to plan treatments more effectively and with greater predictability.
Your Journey with iTero® Digital Scanning
The process of an iTero® scan is straightforward and efficient. After you’re comfortably seated in the dental chair, one of our skilled dentists at Dehyar Dental will use the handheld iTero® scanner to capture images of your teeth and gums. These images are then compiled into an accurate 3D model of your mouth, visible immediately on the screen. This model serves as the base for planning your treatment or creating your custom dental appliances.
