Digital Impressions

Digital Impressions, also known as 3-D intraoral scanning, are the latest technology in capturing a replica of the mouth.  By using a wand-like tool that is connected to a computer with advanced software, a dentist can create a virtual model of the hard and soft tissues in the mouth.  These replicas are more accurate than a mold, and can be used for a variety of needs. After taking a scan of the mouth, a dentist can immediately send the digital impression to a lab where crowns, bridges, and retainers can be made.  The best part of all: NO MORE GOOP!!
