No More Messy Dental Impressions

Achieving the perfect smile or getting treatment for a damaged tooth was once a long and arduous process involving messy dental impressions and lengthy waiting times in between appointments.

 

But with advances in technology and skilled digital dentistry experts, that simply isn’t the case anymore. Developments in digital dentistry mean that you can see the condition of your teeth from impressions made pretty much instantly.

 

It also means that you won’t experience the usual discomfort of having a cold paste or rigid impression tray placed in your mouth. That’s great news if you’re even remotely nervous about being in the dental chair as most patients are.

What are digital dental impressions?

 

Digital dental impressions are a revolutionary advancement in the field of dentistry. Traditionally, dental impressions involved using messy and uncomfortable materials to create moulds of patients’ teeth. But with the advent of digital technology, dentists now have the option to take accurate and detailed impressions using digital scanning devices.

 

These devices use advanced imaging technology to capture a 3D representation of the patient’s teeth and gums. The process is quick and comfortable, eliminating the need for traditional impression materials. 

 

At Face Teeth Smile we use iTero 3D digital dental scanners to take dental impressions that can then be used to create precise models for various dental treatments such as crowns, bridges, orthodontic aligners, and more.

 

Are digital dental impressions reliable?

 

Digital dental impressions are incredibly reliable. They can produce more accurate and precise dental impressions compared to traditional methods since the patient is not at risk of gagging from uncomfortable trays and messy paste being placed in the mouth.

 

The technology also allows both patient and dentist to review the scans immediately so the patient can give their approval on before-and-after images before undergoing any treatment. 

 

Precise measurements for dental implants or dental crowns

 

The benefits of digital dental impressions are numerous. Not only do they provide a more comfortable experience for patients who won’t have to endure the discomfort associated with traditional impression materials, but digital impressions offer increased accuracy and precision compared to traditional methods. This results in better-fitting restorations and improved treatment outcomes.

 

And digital dental impressions streamline the treatment process by eliminating the need for physical models to be shipped or stored. Dentists can easily keep these digital files electronically, making them readily accessible whenever needed.

 

Thanks to our on-site dental lab, at Face Teeth Smile we’re able to offer patients one-day smile makeovers and have crowns ready within a day – saving patients the usual two-week wait.

 

A hygienic alternative to messy dental impressions

 

The device we use at Face Teeth Smile is a digital intraoral scanner that is capable of creating an accurate 3D printed model from the digital impressions we take. 

 

Patients can view the scans instantly with our dentists. And these digital scans are so detailed that they can monitor changes over time and even detect cavities.

 

The scans are shown on a screen and provide a full view of the teeth and mouth from all sides. This improves the dentist’s ability to evaluate the patient’s teeth and make a more accurate diagnosis and recommendation for treatment.

 

A greater dental experience

 

Digital dentistry has revolutionised dental treatments, meaning more accurate diagnoses and a more comfortable overall experience.

 

These are some of the key benefits of utilising digital impressions:

 

• No more uncomfortable and messy impressions trays
• A seamless and pain-free process
• Unparalleled precision and accuracy
• Quicker and fewer appointments with less hassle

 

With digital dentistry, there’s no guesswork and so ill-fitting restorations will be a thing of the past.
