Intraoral Scanners and Cameras
At Magic Smiles, we use the Trios 3shapes as well as the Medit i700, an advanced handheld intraoral scanner that captures high-quality images of your dentition. This technology replaces traditional impressions, which were messy and uncomfortable. Furthermore, these scanners are incredibly fast and precise. It can render an accurate representation of your dentition in just a few minutes.
Digital impressions may be used to fabricate:
- A dental model of your teeth and gums
- Custom oral appliances, such as sports guards or night guards
- Whitening trays
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
- Porcelain veneers
- Dentures
To take impressions, your dentist uses the handheld wand to capture images of your teeth, gums, and surrounding structures. These images are then uploaded to a computer software program, where they can be used to create a wide range of restorations. Because the files are digital, they can be easily shared with any other member of your dental team.
We also utilize intraoral cameras, which allow our dentists to capture detailed photographs of the teeth, gums, and other tissues. These images serve as helpful visual aids during the assessment and treatment processes. Intraoral cameras can highlight signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental problems without the need for using a mirror.
