Intraoral Scanning Can Replace Dental Impressions

Advances in dental technology are transforming how we deliver care. At Cleveland Smile Center, we continuously update our equipment, techniques, and treatments to improve patient comfort.

We are always striving to streamline communication with the lab, and provide precise results. One of the most impactful innovations we use every day is the intraoral scanner for digital dental impressions.

Why Digital Dental Impressions Matter

If you’ve ever had veneers, braces, crowns, or dentures in the past, you may remember the unpleasant process of traditional dental impressions. Traditional dental impression material can trigger your gag reflex, make it feel hard to breathe, and feel uncomfortable to remove once the material has set. With our intraoral scanner, this outdated step is eliminated in most cases.

The scanner uses a handheld wand connected to advanced software to capture hundreds of images of your teeth. These are combined into a 3D digital model. That model is instantly available for both you and our dental team to review. This dental technology not only improves accuracy but also allows us to clearly show you your teeth and explain treatment options in real time.

Faster, More Accurate Results

Once the scan creates a digital model, we send it electronically to the dental laboratory, making communication faster and more precise. This direct link helps us ensure the best possible results and deliver higher-quality outcomes for treatments such as:

• Veneers
• Dental Implants
• Crowns and Dental ridges
• Orthodontic Treatment
• Complete Dentures

Patients benefit from quicker turnaround times, more accurate fittings, and less time spent in the dental chair.

Dentistry Made More Comfortable

Our focus is always on patient comfort and advanced care. Using an intraoral scanner is just one example of how we are incorporating modern dental technology to improve your experience. Whether you need cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, or restorative solutions, Cleveland Smile Center is committed to providing the best care with the latest innovations.
