Intra-oral Imaging and Scans

Intra-oral imaging and scans refer to the use of advanced digital technology to capture detailed, three-dimensional (3D) images of a patient's teeth, gums, and entire oral cavity. This technology uses a small, handheld wand and light projection to create precise digital models, providing a modern, comfortable alternative to traditional, messy physical impressions (molds).

How They Work

Intra-oral scanners work by projecting a light source onto the oral structures and capturing thousands of images per second with high-resolution cameras. Specialized software then stitches these images together in real-time on a computer screen, creating a detailed 3D digital model of the patient's mouth. Unlike X-rays, this process is non-invasive and does not use ionizing radiation.
