In the old days, in order to plan certain treatments or prepare their invisible aligner trays or clear retainers, we had to take the patient’s dental impression with putty — and it wasn’t a particularly pleasant experience. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, we can now get all the information we need to plan your treatment with a quick scan of the inside of your mouth, no dental impressions required.
Unlike certain types of medical scanning equipment, including dental X-rays, the iTero scanner does not have to expose the patient to any radiation in order to do its job. As small as the risk is from the levels of exposure involved with other scanning equipment, with iTero, you don’t have to worry at all about any risks outweighing the benefits.
Our goal at A-Dental Center is to make your experience as easy and effective as possible, which is why we use an intraoral camera in our diagnostic process. Patients have routinely expressed their appreciation of our intraoral camera. They get to see the state of their teeth for themselves, including problems such as cracked teeth, decay, worn-out or defective fillings, bleeding gums, and tartar.
