At WestLake Dental Care, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the most advanced dental care available. We are excited to introduce our latest innovation: intraoral scanning using the state-of-the-art iTero Lumina scanner. This cutting-edge technology is set to enhance the way we create and customize dental treatments, especially for those interested in Invisalign.
Intraoral scanning is a modern approach that allows us to capture detailed, 3D images of your teeth and gums. The iTero Lumina scanner uses advanced optical technology to create precise digital impressions quickly and comfortably. This eliminates the need for traditional molds, providing a more pleasant experience for our patients.
1. Increased Comfort:
One of the most significant advantages of intraoral scanning is the comfort it offers. Traditional dental impressions can often be uncomfortable and time-consuming, involving messy materials. With the iTero Lumina, the scanning process is quick and painless. Most patients find it a far more pleasant experience, allowing us to focus on what truly matters: your smile.
2. Precision and Accuracy:
The iTero Lumina scanner provides highly accurate digital impressions, capturing every detail of your teeth and mouth structure. This precision is crucial when planning treatments like Invisalign, as it allows for the creation of aligners that fit perfectly and work effectively to straighten your teeth. With digital impressions, you can expect better fitting appliances and a more streamlined treatment process.
3. Speedy Turnaround Times:
Intraoral scanning significantly reduces the time needed to create your dental appliances. With traditional methods, you might wait several days for your impressions to be sent off and processed. With the iTero Lumina, we can often begin your treatment much sooner, helping you achieve your desired results without unnecessary delays.
4. Enhanced Treatment Planning:
The detailed images captured by the iTero Lumina allow us to plan your dental treatments with greater precision. This is especially beneficial for orthodontic treatments like Invisalign, where understanding your unique dental structure is key to success. Our team can visualize and simulate your treatment plan, giving you a clear idea of what to expect at each stage of the process.
5. Improved Patient Communication:
Digital impressions make it easier for us to share information with you. You’ll be able to see the images captured during your scan, allowing for better understanding and engagement in your treatment plan. We believe that informed patients make the best decisions about their dental care, and intraoral scanning supports this philosophy.
6. Sustainability and Efficiency:
By utilizing digital impressions, we reduce our reliance on physical materials, leading to less waste and a smaller environmental footprint. Our commitment to sustainable practices means we’re not just improving your dental experience—we’re also doing our part for the planet.
At WestLake Dental Care, our goal is to provide exceptional dental care in a welcoming environment. Our integration of the iTero Lumina scanner is just one of the many ways we aim to enhance your experience.
