iTero Digital Impressions
Say Goodbye to Goopy Impressions and Experience Comfort, Speed & Precision
We’re committed to delivering the most advanced technology for your comfort and care. That’s why we proudly offer iTero™ Digital Impressions, a modern alternative to traditional putty molds. With iTero, you get a fast, non-invasive, and highly accurate scan, perfect for planning treatments such as braces and Invisalign® clear aligners.
What Is the iTero Scanner?
The iTero scanner is a handheld digital device that captures detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums in real time. Unlike old-fashioned impressions that use messy putty, iTero creates a precise digital model of your smile without discomfort or mess. You can breathe and swallow normally, and you’ll even be able to watch the 3D scan appear on the screen as it’s being performed.
This innovative system is especially valuable for Invisalign patients. The detailed scan integrates directly with the Invisalign ClinCheck® software, often within 24 hours, speeding up the treatment planning process and improving accuracy.
How the iTero Digital Scan Works
Using a small, handheld wand, our doctors gently scan the surfaces of your teeth and gums. You can pause, adjust, or move as needed during the scan without affecting accuracy. The scanner creates a real-time 3D image that eliminates the need for physical impressions or redos.
Comfortable – No putty. No gagging. Just a smooth, easy experience.
Fast – Most scans are completed in just minutes.
Accurate – The scanner captures precise details that are often lost with traditional impressions.
Efficient – Your digital scans are instantly transmitted to the Invisalign lab, often arriving the next day.
