Get Beautiful, Lifelike Restorations

Digital impressions are more precise than traditional molds. Digital scanners capture fine detail in your bite and tooth structure that putty impressions can sometimes miss. That added precision helps restorations like crowns and dentures fit correctly the first time. It can reduce the need for adjustments or remakes down the road.

The digital impression process is not uncomfortable. You will find digital impressions more comfortable than traditional molds. There is no putty tray to bite down on and no waiting for material to set in your mouth. The scanner is moved gently around your teeth, and the process is typically finished within a few minutes.

Digital impressions support a wide range of dental treatments, including crowns, bridges, dentures, and clear aligners. Anytime a precise model of your teeth is needed for treatment planning or fabrication, a digital scan can usually replace a traditional mold. The exact use depends on the specific procedure your dentist is planning.

A digital impression typically takes just a few minutes to complete. The scanner captures images of your teeth and gums in real time, building a 3-D model as it moves. This is considerably faster than traditional impressions, which require time for the material to set before it can be removed.
