Digital Impression Systems

Dental digital impression systems capture intraoral scans of a patient’s teeth and gingival tissue to generate a 3D digital model that can be used for CAD/CAM dentistry. These high-tech systems are growing in popularity because they simplify the impression process, increase accuracy, decrease procedure time and enable digital integration with dental laboratories. Digital impressions eliminate the technique sensitivity and patient discomfort of using impression materials, and the 3D digital models they create are highly accurate and detailed. Captured using safe, non-invasive imaging technologies, digital impressions are available for a range of restorative and orthodontic indications. The scans are ready almost instantly and can be sent directly to a dental lab or to a chairside CAD/CAM system without the need to pour a model or pay for shipping. If you are not already using a digital impression system now is a great time to find one that fits your dental practice so you can increase patient comfort, decrease clinical errors and reduce the time it takes to complete a case.
