Precision Imaging Without the Mess
The iTero Element scanner is a digital imaging device that replaces traditional dental impressions. Instead of using messy trays and impression material, this scanner captures accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums using a small handheld wand. The process is fast, comfortable and completely noninvasive.
Patients often appreciate how the scanning experience eliminates the discomfort and gagging sensation that can occur with traditional impressions. It is especially beneficial for those with sensitive teeth or smaller mouths.
Clear Visualization and Better Communication
One of the greatest advantages of iTero Element technology is the ability to visualize results in real time. The high-resolution scans appear instantly on a chairside screen, allowing both the patient and our team to see the full picture of the oral structures. This not only enhances accuracy but also improves communication and understanding throughout the appointment.
Patients are able to see what their provider sees, making it easier to understand treatment recommendations and feel more confident about their care decisions.
Efficiency That Supports Quality
Because iTero Element scanning produces immediate and precise digital models, it streamlines many parts of the treatment process. The scans can be used for planning and monitoring over time, ensuring that care remains consistent and precise. Digital records are easy to store, share and compare, allowing for better long-term tracking and more efficient collaboration if needed.
This technology also minimizes the chance for error. With fewer remakes and greater accuracy, patients benefit from a smoother, more predictable experience. The result is high-quality care that saves time while enhancing outcomes.
Our dentists and team are proud to incorporate iTero Element scanning as part of our commitment to innovation and patient comfort. By using this advanced system, we help ensure your visits are both effective and pleasant.
