Digital impressions

An intraoral scanner is a small handheld device that takes high-resolution images of the inside of your mouth. In real time, these images are assembled on the computer into a precise three-dimensional model of your teeth and jaws.

The biggest advantage is comfort: there is no impression material that could trigger a gag reflex. The scan is quick and hygienic, and the digital models are more precise, which results in a better fit for your dental restoration.

No, the scan is completely pain-free and most patients find it very comfortable. The device does not touch the teeth directly.

We use the scanner for planning and producing crowns, bridges, inlays and veneers, but also for orthodontic splints (e.g. night guards for teeth grinding) and for the precise planning of implants.

The digital models are often even more precise than conventional impressions. They capture finer detail and minimise sources of error, which improves the quality of your dental restoration or splint.
