At Dental Designs of Stroud, we have replaced uncomfortable, messy dental impressions with state-of-the-art digital scanning. Also known as 3D intraoral scanning, this technology allows our team to capture highly accurate virtual replicas of your mouth without the need for traditional impression trays or “goop.”
This computer-aided technology improves both the quality of your dental restorations and your experience in the chair. By bringing this advanced tool to Stroud, OK, we ensure that your treatments are faster, cleaner, and more precise.
How Digital Scanning Works
The process is simple, quick, and comfortable. Instead of biting down on a tray filled with impression material, we use a small, wand-shaped camera.
The doctor gently moves the wand around your mouth, capturing thousands of images of your teeth and gum tissue per second. These images are instantly stitched together by advanced software to create a precise 3D model on our computer screen. You can watch the process in real-time, giving you a better understanding of your oral health.
The Benefits For Patients
Digital scanning eliminates one of the most common complaints about visiting the dentist: the gag reflex caused by impression trays.
- Maximum comfort: No messy materials, no bad taste, and no gagging.
- Extreme accuracy: Digital scans are significantly more precise than physical impressions, leading to better-fitting crowns, bridges, and retainers.
- Speed and efficiency: Digital files are sent immediately to our design software or lab. This reduces turnaround time for restorations like dentures and crowns.
- Orthodontic planning: The scans help us identify alignment issues instantly, making them ideal for planning orthodontic corrections or Invisalign treatment.
