iTero Scanner: No More Dental Impressions

What is an iTero Scanner? It is a small hand-held device that scans the inside of the mouth. It has a wand that uses a high-tech system to capture and produce high-quality images of your mouth, which allows your dentist to diagnose and resolve oral health issues efficiently. . 

Thankfully, old-school impressions using putty are no longer the only option. At PacificWest, we believe in using the latest technology to provide our patients with a more comfortable experience.

The iTero Scanner allows us to take a digital impression – a highly accurate, digital 3D image of the individual characteristics of your teeth and gum tissue, without the gooey mess, the bad taste, or nausea and discomfort.

The iTero scanner is all about keeping you comfortable while delivering precise imagery. In addition to being more comfortable, the digital scan can also be used for Invisalign services to deliver the beautiful smile of your dreams!

Several Clinical Benefits of iTero Scanner

In addition to being more comfortable for patients, the features of the iTero Scanner come with several clinical benefits, including:

  • An accurate diagnosis of oral health 
  • Scans the back of the mouth without trouble
  • Creates precise models of the mouth

Unlike its traditional counterparts, the iTero scanner is up-to-date and precise. The images shown give your dentist an accurate impression of your mouth. It works well to perform orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign and restorative procedures, such as bridges, implants and dentures. Call PacificWest to book your first appointment today.  The use of the iTero scanner improves precision and accuracy. Through computer-generated imaging and up-to-date  technology, we can help our patients improve their smiles while providing the highest quality of care. The scans are painless, and the changes following treatment are astronomical. Call our office to learn more about how the iTero scanner can improve your treatment today.
