Digital Impressions
Precise Scans. Better Fit. No Mess.
Comfortable digital impressions for crowns, bridges, and more.
Say goodbye to goopy trays and uncomfortable molds. At Quarryville Family Dentistry, we use advanced iTero digital scanning technology to create high-resolution, 3D images of your teeth and gums — with no mess and no discomfort. Whether you’re preparing for a crown, bridge, implant, or orthodontic treatment, digital impressions provide a faster, more accurate, and more comfortable experience from start to finish.
What Are Digital Impressions?
Digital impressions use the iTero scanner to capture a complete, 3D image of your teeth in minutes. Unlike traditional impressions that use messy material and bulky trays, digital scans are taken with a small handheld wand that’s quick, easy, and precise. The results are used to design custom dental restorations or aligners that fit better and feel more natural.
Why Would Digital Impressions Be Needed?
Digital impressions are used for a wide range of restorative and cosmetic dental treatments. If you’re getting a crown, bridge, implant, denture, or clear aligner system, a digital scan ensures a better fit, faster turnaround, and more predictable results. They also eliminate the risk of distortion or discomfort associated with traditional impressions.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Digital Impressions?
Almost every patient is a candidate for digital impressions. They’re especially helpful for individuals with sensitive gag reflexes, anxiety about dental molds, or those undergoing multiple treatments. Our team will let you know when a digital scan is the right first step in your treatment plan.
What Happens During the Digital Impressions Process?
You’ll sit comfortably while our dental assistant uses a handheld scanner to move around your mouth. The scanner captures thousands of data points in real-time to create a detailed 3D model.
The process takes just a few minutes, and you’ll be able to view your scan on-screen before we send it off to the lab or use it to design your custom treatment.
