iTero Intraoral Scanner
iTero Scanners generate fast, detailed, colorized images that enhance patient understanding, streamline workflow, and accelerate treatment times for a more efficient experience.
At Smile Point Dental & Orthodontics, our specialties include embracing the latest technology in dental practice to improve our patient’s outcomes. Among the tools we have implemented in our practice, the iTero Intraoral Scanner seems to be one of the most unique. It is an advanced scanner, and as you will learn, we use these images to map out your teeth precisely for procedures such as Invisalign, crowns, and implants. Three reasons it is more comfortable, faster, and more precise for patients: With iTero, we can offer a better and faster dental experience for our patients.
Technological improvements in dentistry have really changed patient care. Of the novel advancements in this field, a key one is the technology of digital scanning, especially iTero.
The use of this kind of advanced scanning technology enables dental professionals to capture and create digital images of patient’s teeth and dental occlusion. This digital workflow is a vast improvement over conventional putty impressions and appears to be more comfortable, faster, and possibly provide better clinical outcomes.
The scanning process requires a small rubber wand that provides a perfect view of the teeth from all sides. These are then fed to specific software that fuses the scans into compact 3D wholly realized digital models. This model forms the basis of the different dental appliances such as clear aligners, dental crowns, bridges, and implant processes.
