3D Scanning
Dental 3D scanning is a modern technology used in dentistry to create accurate digital models of a patient’s teeth and oral structures.
- High Precision: It captures accurate images of teeth, gums, and bite.
- Technology: A small handheld scanner takes many images quickly and combines them into a 3D model.
- Non-invasive: The process is comfortable and does not involve radiation.
Purpose:
- Treatment Planning: Helps dentists design crowns, bridges, dentures, and braces based on precise measurements.
- Visual Aid: Allows dentists and patients to see treatment plans more clearly.
- Efficiency: Reduces the need for messy traditional impressions.
Benefits:
- Speed: Faster than traditional methods, saving time for everyone.
- Comfort: Patients often find scanning more comfortable than taking molds.
- Better Fit: Increased accuracy can lead to better-fitting dental work.
