The Smile Makers Dental Clinic in Khar West has a new iTero Element 5D scanner. It lets us take digital 3D impressions without using messy moulds and supports planning for a precise fit for crowns and aligners.
What is a digital dental impression?
A digital impression is a 3D record of the teeth captured with a scanner. It can be used as part of planning crowns and aligners. At our clinic, the new iTero Element 5D scanner is available for this digital scanning process.
How can a scan help with crowns and aligners?
A scan provides a digital model of the teeth for treatment planning. For crowns and aligners, this supports planning a precise fit. Your dentist can explain whether a scan is appropriate for the treatment being considered.
Is the iTero scan charged separately?
The scan is complimentary and included in the fee for a consultation, prosthesis or Invisalign treatment.
