Digital Dental Impression

Significant advancements have been made in digital dental impression scanning that it has been said, in the next 5 years 35% of dentists will be using this technology.  The advantages of digital scanning allow the dentist a real time view of your preparation and impression technique.  By avoiding the cost of redoing impressions and eliminating the error factor in labs making ill fitting crowns.  Digital scanning allows the dentist to have the same view the lab sees, and reduces the chances for voids, pulls and margin errors that are associated with traditional dental impressions.  Allowing the dentist to develop better precision on the margins, the taper and the polish of the prep walls plus rounded angles all contribute to a better crown fit.  Digital impression scanners use lasers to capture thousands of reference points of contours of tooth and gingival structures with over 300 hundred focal points of depth. The time to digitally scan a patient is 3 to 5 minutes, but there are no materials to handle or models to pour up. Digital scanners are capable of fabricating all types of restorations; veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and dental implant abutments or full arch cases. Most digital impression scanners don’t have to use impression powders and are capable of capturing supragingival and subgingival preparations. Digital dental impression scanners are not just for crown and bridge treatments, the availability to scan full-arch orthodontic therapies and dental implant treatments are opening the door to many possibilities.  More and more dental labs are now accepting digital scanning files directly to their labs and the day is coming that traditional dental impressions will not be sent by mail.  Dental practices taking advantage of this new technology will have a distinct advantage over those practices who continue to offer traditional dental impressions. Patient communication and acceptance are enhanced when the dental practitioner can demonstrate treatment viewing of a 3D image for patients.  In addition, having digital impression technology will project an advanced image that may lead to more patient referrals.  It may be time to invest in this technology today, a perfect fit for a perfect practice.
