At The Smile Center, we believe a thorough dental exam is crucial for your continued oral health. That’s why we’ve invested in this advanced technology to provide better treatment plans and unprecedented patient education. With these 3D scans, your dentist can show cavities, crowded teeth, if your bite is off or uneven, plaque and calculus forming on your teeth, chipping, and much more.
When used at each visit, you can view a time lapse of your smile changing over time. This is especially helpful (and eye opening) if you’ve been putting off a treatment and can see your teeth worsening over time. Or, if you are undergoing treatment like Invisalign, you can see the progress of your smile with your own eyes at each visit.
When using the scanner for Invisalign clear aligners, the iTero can display a simulation of what your smile will look like before, during and after Invisalign treatment.
Essentially, you can see your new smile before committing to treatment! It’s important to note that mail-order aligner companies like Smile Direct Club don’t allow you to have input on your future smile. At The Smile Center, you will consult with your doctor (not a computer) to make sure you are happy with the final product.
Additionally, you won’t have to worry about goopy, uncomfortable impressions. The scan is painless and over in a matter of minutes, with no goop or gagging!
Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry
Scans may also be used to create better-fitting and better-looking crowns, veneers, implants, and more. 3D impressions are much more accurate and comfortable –again, no goopy impressions!
