Digital Dental Impressions

As technology continues to advance, the dental industry is no exception. One of the latest advancements in dentistry is the use of digital impressions. Digital impressions allow dentists to create a virtual model of a patient's teeth without the use of traditional impression materials such as putty or silicone. Instead, a digital scanner is used to capture the necessary images.

At Serenity Dental, we are proud to offer digital impressions as an option for our patients. Here are some of the benefits of digital impressions:

1. Increased Accuracy: Traditional impressions can be messy and uncomfortable for patients. With digital impressions, the scanner captures a precise image of your teeth and gums. This means that the chances of errors or inaccuracies are reduced, leading to better fitting restorations such as crowns or bridges.

2. Improved Comfort: Many patients find traditional impressions to be uncomfortable and even gag-inducing. Digital impressions eliminate the need for impression materials that can cause discomfort, making the process much more comfortable and less stressful for patients.

3. Faster Turnaround Time: With traditional impressions, it can take several days or even weeks for the lab to create the necessary restoration. With digital impressions, the virtual model of your teeth can be sent directly to the lab, reducing the turnaround time significantly.

4. Better Communication: Digital impressions allow us to communicate more effectively with the lab, ensuring that they have all the necessary information to create a restoration that fits perfectly. This means that patients can expect a restoration that looks and feels natural, and can expect a better overall experience.

At Serenity Dental, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes.
