iTero Digital Scanners
At MyDentist, we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced dental care available. Our iTero digital scanners represent the pinnacle of dental imaging technology, offering high-definition 3D renderings that allow our dental team to identify even the smallest dental concerns with remarkable precision. This state-of-the-art technology integrates digital x-rays and surface scans, providing a comprehensive view of your oral health.
Our iTero digital scanners employ a small, handheld wand with a minimally invasive camera to capture detailed images of your mouth. These images are instantly displayed on a screen, eliminating the need for traditional impressions and reducing wait times. The wand’s compact and flexible design ensures your comfort throughout the scanning process. A single scan captures the entire mouth, and the system can also display x-ray images and other imported visuals. Importantly, the iTero scanner does not emit any radiation. This technology allows for a more efficient and comfortable experience during your visit to our Middlefield or Pharmacy locations.
At MyDentist, we believe in proactive dental care. The iTero scanner’s ability to detect cavities in their earliest stages allows for less invasive and more cost-effective treatment options. By using different light spectrums, including near-infrared, the scanner can reveal cavities that might otherwise go unnoticed. This early detection is crucial for preventing more complex and costly procedures down the line, ensuring your long-term oral health.
Beyond diagnostics, the iTero scanner plays a vital role in treatment planning and execution. The 3D images generated by the scanner enable our dentists to create precise digital impressions and simulate treatment outcomes. For example, we can use the iTero scanner to show you how clear aligners can improve your smile, helping you make informed decisions about your care. Throughout your treatment, we can track progress using time-lapse and other visual tools. The iTero scanner also streamlines our workflow by reducing the need for multiple pieces of equipment, minimizing sterilization requirements, and allowing for easy digital storage and access to your records. This digital approach also facilitates faster communication with dental labs for the fabrication of dental appliances, resulting in a more efficient and comfortable experience for you at MyDentist.
