Digital scanning of teeth

Digital scanning of teeth

This is the entry level in digital planning, navigation surgery and cad/cam fabrication of orthopedic and orthodontic designs. This stage is carried out using an innovative optical scanner, which allows you to obtain a highly accurate 3D model of the patient’s entire oral cavity.

In contrast to the traditional method of obtaining a cast, digital scanning has a number of advantages:

• is accompanied by no stress factors;
• digital models are instantly sent to the laboratory via the Internet (shortening of the planning and production of restorations);
• digital planning reduces the number of visits to the clinic;
• the possibility of scanning during surgical operations (early orthopedic load on implants and shortening of rehabilitation periods).

The technology, which at first glance seems to patients to be another “fashionable” thing, is actually a major breakthrough in treatment.
But as with any technology, the expertise of the dentist is behind it, take this factor into account as well!
