The rapid advancement in dental technology has seen a great amount of innovation in the past few decades. They help in offering world-class services to patients and improve the standard of dental care as well. When it comes to using advanced equipment to provide great oral care. We use one such revolutionary product in dentistry the intraoral Scanner.
An intraoral scanner is a small, handheld device to capture a detailed 3D image of the patient’s mouth. The handheld device comprises a light source and a camera and can be moveable into your mouth and gums to capture a complete impression quickly.
Digital intraoral scanners have taken the traditional practice of taking a dental impression of your teeth to a whole new level. They are touch-free, comfortable, precise, and 100% accurate. To top it off the 3D model of your teeth that is generated is easily stored and transferred as digital data.
Benefits of Our Intraoral Scanner:
1. Early Detection of Oral Health Problems
One of the best benefits of having this technology is detecting early signs of trauma that may not cause you any pain. Addressing dental problems early can prevent extensive dental work and save you money.
If a tooth decay or a dental disease is detected early, the advised treatments are less invasive, expensive, and time-consuming. With an intraoral scanner, dentists can detect signs of dental problems at an early stage when they are not visible to the naked eye. In dentistry, any dental problem becomes major when infection reaches the pulp or the root of the tooth. Before the problem becomes major, it is easier to treat, but the procedure is often less painful too.
2. Time Saver
The traditional method of taking impressions is a long and uncomfortable process, requiring the patient to sit on a dental chair for 2-3 hours. But when it comes to digitally scanning a patient, it takes five minutes. That’s it. No impression material is used, no sitting around waiting for the PVS to dry, no patient-gagging, no mess. The difference in the workflow is obvious.
Because an intraoral scanner produces a digital impression, the result is immediate so that dental laboratories can process any restorations, orthodontic appliances, or restorations more quickly.
3. Comfortable Patient Experience
In the past, dental impressions have been taken using a metal tray that is quite uncomfortable for patients, especially those with a sensitive gag reflex. With an intraoral scanner, the digital impression of the patient’s mouth is taken. This technique has proved to be quite comfortable as the patient’s teeth are being scanned by the digital intraoral scanner. The entire scanning process just lasts a few minutes, and there is no need for rescanning in most cases.
4. High Accuracy of 3D Dental Models
With an intraoral scanner, the accuracy of the impression is impressive. The scanning removes the risk of human error and ensures the image is faultless. This simplifies the procedure, reducing the need for return visits of patients to fix inaccuracies.
Intraoral scanner devices and the technology they use are quite potent in capturing and projecting the precise contours of one’s teeth and mouth. As a result, our specialists find it easier to plan the course of the patient’s treatment and to give appropriate and accurate treatment for our patients.
5. Enhanced safety
The use of intraoral scanners also ensures better safety for patients. They are not exposed to any form of radiation and the level of discomfort is next to nothing. This is one of the key reasons why intraoral scanners have become so popular in recent times and are being utilized by the world’s most advanced clinics only.
6. Improved Patient-Doctor Relation
An intraoral scanner also serves as an educational tool for the patient. In the past, dentists have struggled with explaining the extent and seriousness of the dental problem and the reason behind the advised treatment to patients.
With our advanced technology intraoral scanner, our dentists can show live, enlarged images of dental areas to the patient. It helps the patient clearly understand the problem and the reason behind the advised treatment. It aids in reducing anxiety and establishes a trustworthy relationship between the patient and the dentist.
