At Morton Grove Dental Associates, we utilize advanced intraoral scanning technology to provide a seamless and comfortable experience for our patients. Digital impressions allow us to create highly accurate 3D models of your teeth and gums using light-based technology, ensuring your dental care is as precise as it is efficient.
How Digital Impressions Work
The process is straightforward and focuses entirely on patient comfort:
- Scanning: We use a small, handheld wand equipped with a high-definition camera to gently move through your mouth.
- Imaging: The wand captures thousands of data points per second, which the computer instantly translates into a detailed 3D map of your smile.
- Review: We use the digital model to develop a treatment plan.
- Production: The digital file can be used to create custom restorations like crowns.
Simple and Safe
Because this technology uses specialized light sensors rather than radiation, digital impressions are a safe option for all patients. The process is non-invasive and provides our team with the data needed to ensure high-quality results for your dental health. By using digital files, we are also able to reduce the turnaround time for your custom dental work, getting you back to your normal routine faster.
