Why Dental Intraoral Scans Are the Way to Go šø
Share
Digital technology is transforming dentistry, and one of the biggest breakthroughs in recent years is the use of intraoral scanners. If you're still relying on traditional impressions, it might be time to reconsider. At Smilescape Dental Laboratory, we work closely with dentists who use intraoral scanningāand the benefits are undeniable.
From improved accuracy to a better patient experience, hereās why intraoral scans are the future of dentistry.
What Is an Intraoral Scanner?
An intraoral scanner is a handheld device that captures high-resolution, 3D images of a patientās teeth, gums, and bite. These digital impressions are then used to design crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, aligners, and moreāwith incredible precision.
The Top Benefits of Intraoral Scanning
ā 1. Accuracy and Precision
Digital scans eliminate the guesswork of traditional impressions. No more distortion, air bubbles, or poorly captured margins. This results in:
Better-fitting restorations
Fewer remakes or adjustments
Faster turnaround times from the lab
š§¼ 2. More Comfortable for Patients
Say goodbye to uncomfortable trays and messy impression material. Intraoral scanning is fast, clean, and non-invasiveāperfect for patients with a strong gag reflex or dental anxiety.
š 3. Faster Workflow
Digital files can be sent instantly to the dental labāno shipping delays, no lost impressions. This means faster fabrication and delivery of crowns, veneers, aligners, and other restorations.
š¾ 4. Easy Storage & Retrieval
Digital files are easy to store, share, and reference. If you need to review a past scan or reprint a case down the road, itās all just a click away.
š 5. Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective
Going digital means reducing the use of disposable materials, shipping costs, and storage needsāmaking intraoral scanning a smarter choice for both the environment and your bottom line.
