iTero® Element™ 5D Invisalign® Scanner

The Latest Dental Technology in Sterling, VA

Here at WestLake Dental Care, we’re passionate about cutting-edge dental technology. We’re always on the lookout for innovative dental technology that supports our mission to offer superior dental care to residents of Sterling, VA, and beyond. That’s why we utilize the iTero® Element™ 5D Scanner– so that we can provide the best care and treatment possible.

Procedure Details:

What Is The iTero® Element™ 5D Scanner?

The iTero® Element™ 5D scanner is a massive leap forward from previous intraoral scanners and has tremendously changed how we conduct our dental imaging and visualization for treatments such as Invisalign®. This recently unveiled imaging system is the first of its kind to feature near-infrared imaging (NIRI) technology, thus allowing us to have clear, unobstructed views of the inner layers of your tooth, and in real-time.


Thanks to NIRI technology, we can diagnose interproximal cavities without requiring traditional dental x-rays. Interproximal cavities are those that occur between two teeth. Legacy imaging systems may not easily pick up such cavities, but the iTero® Element™ 5D scanner gets the job done within seconds.

What You Should Expect With 5D Dental Scanner Imaging

The iTero® Element™ 5D scanner is a portable, handheld intraoral scanner that fits comfortably in the average-sized mouth. During your appointment, our dentist will scan your lower and upper dental arches to check for any signs of concern. The imaging system allows for real-time display of captured images. These images can be used for future reference and comparison. Our intraoral scanner also comes with powerful simulation capability. If you’re coming in for orthodontic treatment, our dentist will treat you to realistic visuals of your future smile.

Why The iTero® Element™ 5D Scanner?

The iTero® Element™ 5D scanner is a powerful technological tool that empowers us to offer comprehensive and personalized care to our patients. Whether you’re coming in for preventive, restorative, orthodontic, or another type of care, the intraoral scanner captures all of the in-depth details we need to personalize your treatment plan. What’s more, you don’t have to worry about exposure to harmful radiation. The iTero® Element™ 5D scanner leaves nothing to chance. Thanks to its crisp precision and accuracy, the smile of your dreams is only an appointment away. Learn about the new iTero Lumina™ scanner in our blog.
