How a 3-D Dental Scanner Improves the Precision of Implants and Aligners

A three-dimensional dental scanner allows for image-guided treatments and resizable digital prints, contributing to precision. Additionally, digital technology is safer and faster than traditional scanning methods. This means less time spent in the dental chair to achieve optimal results.

About 3-D Dental Scans

Our scanner produces full-color images we can share with insurance companies, other dental professionals, and you. When we share films with you, you better understand a particular diagnosis or why we recommend specific treatments. It also allows you to make informed choices for your ongoing care.

These scans help your dentist create impressions of your teeth for aligner and restoration fabrication.

Implant and Aligner Precision with Your Dentist in Tampa, FL

When we scan your teeth digitally, we can produce models of your smile. These models help ClearCorrect® fabricate custom aligners for your orthodontic needs. Because dental professionals can manipulate these scans, you can expect greater accuracy and precision when labs create custom aligners.

ClearCorrect aligners are like Invisalign® or similar products that straighten teeth without wire and bracket braces.

Also, your dentist in North Tampa can use our 3-D scanner to better plan your dental implant surgery and specifically pinpoint where to best place dental implant posts along the gum. We can also more accurately determine the state of your jawbone to determine whether you’ll require pretreatments like grafting before implant surgery.

When proven technology provides our patients with superior dentistry, we are always eager to bring that innovation to our dental office in Tampa.
