ORAL SCANNING

What is digital oral scanning?

• Oral scanning means we no longer take impressions of your mouth the old way using trays and messy putty, which some patients don’t like.
• Our 3D scanning and other digital dentistry facilities mean you won’t find any gooey dental putty in our clinic. We create impressions without making you feel uncomfortable.
• The scanner creates highly accurate, interactive, high-resolution 3D colour images of your teeth and surrounding structures.
• You can breathe and swallow normally, and even pause the process at any point.

Digital scanning and Invisalign

• Your Invisalign aligners are made using the digitally scanned impressions and are individually manufactured to a high level of accuracy to perfectly fit your teeth and gums. As a result they are more comfortable.
• Digital scanning accurately tracks the progress of your Invisalign® aligner treatment.
• It’s efficient, cleaner and more pleasant than traditional impressions making the process a much more positive patient experience.
