Today’s modern dentistry can be called digital dentistry. Office scanners have replaced classic impression-taking techniques, surgical guides for implant placement have increased the precision of the surgical procedure and enabled patients to recover faster and easier.

What are the advantages of a scanner compared to traditional fingerprinting?

Patients associate a feeling of extreme discomfort with classic impression taking. Often, taking an impression is accompanied by a pronounced urge to vomit, the inability to breathe properly or a panic attack. For these reasons, patients accept the scanner more easily. The scanner is very easy to manipulate, it can be taken out of the patient’s mouth at any time and the scanning process can be stopped so that the patient can rest.
The patient can monitor the entire scanning process via the screen and at any time see the state of his teeth, for example carious lesions, he can see his ground teeth after the dentist’s intervention, the position of the implant in the jaw or the future design of his teeth.
The greatest advantage of modern technology is the facilitated communication between the dentist and the patient, the patient can constantly visually monitor the condition of his teeth and monitor the procedures on them. Communication between the dentist and the dental technician has also been facilitated, and the time needed to make teeth has been greatly reduced.

Does the preparation of teeth take faster when using a scanner?

That. By using the scanner, the time needed by the dental technician to work on the patient’s teeth is reduced. After the scan, your dentist sends an image of your teeth to the dental laboratory, where the technicians can immediately start designing the future teeth. The patient receives the prototype of the future teeth the very next day.

Which intraoral scanner do you use in your office?

In our office, we use the Trios 3 scanner from 3Shape, which is one of the best scanners on the market right now. It enables the perfect precision of prosthetic works and detects all the necessary details so that the teeth meet the high aesthetic and functional requirements of each patient.
It is important to note that our dentists and dental assistants are specially trained to work with digital scanners and continuously work on improving their skills in the field of digital dentistry.
