DIGITAL IMPRESSIONS IN OUR DENTAL CLINIC

Dental Technology

In our clinic, dental impressions are taken using an intra-oral scanner.

Digital impressions are a technological advancement that replaces traditional dental impression methods, which used physical impression materials such as alginate or silicone.

Using an intra-oral scanner, Dr. Annabi can capture a 3D image of patients' teeth and oral tissues in a quick, accurate, and comfortable way.

Digital impressions are used for treatments such as crowns, bridges, dental implants, orthodontic aligners, and even complete dentures. They are often integrated into computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) workflows.

Advantages of Digital Impressions:

  • High Precision: Digital scanners provide an extremely detailed image of the teeth, reducing errors due to distortions.
  • Patient Comfort: No more discomfort from traditional impression pastes. Scanners are non-invasive and more comfortable to use.
  • Reduced Treatment Time: The digital image is immediately available, speeding up the creation of prosthetics, crowns, and other devices.
  • Enhanced Communication: Digital data can be easily shared with dental labs or other specialists.
  • Data Storage: Digital impressions can be stored in electronic databases, allowing for quick retrieval for future adjustments.
  • Adjustment Precision: In the event of touch-ups or repairs, digital models allow for adjustments without the need for a new physical impression.
