What Are Digital Dental Impressions?
Digital impressions use a compact intraoral scanner to create a detailed 3D image of your mouth. The hand-held scanner is gently guided around your teeth, capturing high-resolution data that forms an accurate digital model.
These digital models can be viewed instantly on screen, helping you better understand your oral health and the next steps in your care. Digital impressions are commonly used in restorative dentistry such as crowns, bridges, and implant planning, as well as orthodontic treatments like Invisalign.
- Crowns, bridges, and veneers
- Implant planning and surgical guides
- Clear aligner treatment planning
- Monitoring bite and fit over time
