Intra-Oral 3D Scanners
Recreating dental mapping using handheld 3D scanning wands that capture precise digital models of your teeth in minutes.
How 3D Dental Mapping Works
Our intra-oral scanner utilizes a compact, pen-like wand fitted with an advanced digital camera and optical sensor system. As the dentist glides the wand smoothly over your teeth, the device projects a structured light source or non-harmful laser onto the surfaces.
- Thousands of Frames per Second: The scanner captures up to 3,000 high-resolution color pictures every second, compiling them into a comprehensive, interactive 3D model in real time.
- Instant Visualization: The patient can view the digital replica of their bite and tooth arrangement on an adjacent screen immediately, aiding in diagnostic discussions and treatment understanding.
No Messy Putty, No Gag Reflex
In traditional dentistry, taking dental impressions required filling large metal trays with cold, sticky silicone paste and holding it in the patient's mouth for several minutes. This method often triggered a strong gag reflex and caused substantial discomfort.
- Clean & Convenient: Digital scanning requires no paste, leaves no residue, and can be paused at any time if the patient needs to swallow or rest.
- Micron-Level Fitting Accuracy: While silicone molds contract or warp slightly over time, digital models are permanent and precise down to the micron. This ensures crowns, veneers, and bridges fit perfectly with zero adjustments.
Key Scanner Advantages
1. Shade Optimization
Advanced color sensors capture precise shade profiles of the natural enamel, enabling the lab to match the replacement crown or veneer color seamlessly.
2. Fast Lab Output
Digital files are sent securely to our dental lab partners within seconds of the scan, shortening turnaround times for crowns and clear aligners.
3. Interactive Mockups
Before orthodontic treatments begin, our software simulates the step-by-step movement of your teeth, showing your future smile before the first aligner is made.
