What is a 3D Scanner in Dentistry?
In the digital era, technology has revolutionized the way we provide dental care. One of our modern tools is the 3D Scanner, which enhances the precision of diagnosis and treatment plans. At Advanced Dentistry, we use a 3D scanner to offer our patients the highest level of dental care.
A 3D Scanner is a device that creates detailed 3D digital models of the patient's mouth. It captures high-resolution images of teeth, gums, and jaw structures, which are then processed by special software to create an accurate three-dimensional model.
It's an excellent tool to replace traditional dental impressions and also to avoid sending them to the dental lab, thus reducing waiting times.
It should not be confused with 3D radiographs, which use X-rays to create three-dimensional images of the internal structures of the jaws. The 3D scanner is essentially a more advanced video camera, capable of seeing in depth, does not use radiation, and is completely safe for all patients.
