Contact UsWhat Is An Intraoral Scanner?
Intraoral scanners provide a more thorough dental evaluation. By using one of these small, pen-like devices, Dr. Ernest De Paoli may have a much better, high-resolution view of your gums and teeth. An intraoral scanner can capture different angles of your gums and teeth and creates a live video that can be displayed on a connected monitor. Additionally, it may provide a more accurate diagnosis and allow you to fully understand your problem. The intraoral scanner system can also be used during a procedure to give Dr. De Paoli a better visual. The Advanced Smiles team uses innovative scanning technology, such as iTero® and CEREC® Primescan. During your consultation at Advanced Smiles in Frisco, TX, Dr. De Paoli can demonstrate the advantages of intraoral scanners to attain a more precise dental exam and treatment.
How Does An Intraoral Scanner Work?
Using a size and shape very similar to a pencil, an intraoral scanner is a versatile tool that will transmit live video from your mouth to a digital monitor. Dr. De Paoli will slip the camera over your gums and teeth while viewing the pictures on the screen. He will also be able to capture images that can be used in a more thorough evaluation. By enabling you and Dr. De Paoli to see the images on a monitor, a more educated decision and treatment plan can be created. This can ultimately allow you to have a better understanding of your dental health.

About UsIntraoral Scanner FAQs
Is the intraoral scanner safe?
Intraoral scanners are safe and non-invasive. They use light-based imaging, meaning there's no radiation involved, and they don't touch soft tissues aggressively, making the process gentle for most patients. Because the scan is completely digital, it eliminates many of the risks associated with traditional impression materials and outdated techniques.
Is an intraoral scanner more comfortable than traditional impressions?
Many patients find intraoral scanning much more comfortable. There's no mess, no gagging, and the process is typically quicker and more pleasant than conventional impressions. It’s especially helpful for those with a sensitive gag reflex or dental anxiety, making dental visits less stressful overall.
How accurate is an intraoral scanner?
Intraoral scanners are highly accurate and allow for precise digital modeling. This helps improve the fit and function of restorations and other dental appliances. The detailed scans reduce the chances of errors, which means fewer adjustments and a more efficient path to completing your dental treatment.
