iTero SCANS
At Imaging Dentistry, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in dental technology to ensure the most comfortable and effective treatments possible. Learn how iTero Scans are transforming the dental experience for our patients.
What is an iTero Scanner?
The iTero Scanner represents the pinnacle of digital dentistry, revolutionizing the way we capture dental impressions. Unlike traditional impression materials, which can be messy and uncomfortable, the iTero Scanner utilizes advanced laser and optical technology to create highly detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums. These digital impressions are incredibly accurate, allowing us to precisely plan and execute your dental treatments with unparalleled precision.

When and Why iTero Scans are Used?
iTero Scans are utilized across a wide range of dental procedures, from orthodontic treatments like Invisalign to restorative dentistry and implant planning. Whether you're considering braces or seeking to restore a damaged tooth, iTero Scans play a crucial role in ensuring optimal treatment outcomes. By capturing precise digital impressions of your teeth and gums, we can customize treatment plans tailored to your unique dental needs, resulting in more efficient and effective care.

iTero Scan Process
Our iTero Scan process is simple and hassle-free. During your appointment, we will gently scan your teeth and gums using the iTero Scanner, capturing detailed 3D images in real-time. These images are then used to create custom treatment plans tailored to your unique dental needs.

Preparation for the Scan
Before beginning the iTero Scan, your dental professional will ensure you are comfortable and relaxed in the dental chair. You may be asked to rinse your mouth to ensure optimal scan results.

Conducting the Scan
Using the iTero Scanner, your dental professional will gently move the handheld wand around your mouth, capturing detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums. The scanner emits a harmless laser light, which quickly and accurately captures the contours of your dental anatomy.
