The service
A camera instead of a mouthful of putty.
The iTero scanner is an intraoral imaging device: an ergonomic, pen-like wand captures hundreds of photographs every second from every angle, and software combines them into an exact 3D digital impression of your teeth and bite, hard-to-see back molars included.
That model drives most of what we make: veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, implant abutments for single teeth or whole arches, and Invisalign treatment planning. You watch the model build in real time on the monitor, with clear before and after views, and the finished scan goes wirelessly to the lab.
What happens
The scan visit.
No preparation
No trays, no impression material, and no protective gear needed. A disposable imaging shield goes on the wand for sterility.
Scanning
The wand moves around your mouth, capturing hundreds of images per second. The whole scan takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Instant review
The 3D model appears on screen as it builds. Adjustments happen on the spot, with no retakes in fresh putty.
Straight to the lab
The scan transmits wirelessly for processing, whether the destination is a crown, a bridge or Invisalign aligners.
Is it for you
Worth asking about if.
You do not need to match every line. Any one of them is reason enough to ask.
- You gag on conventional impression trays
- You are considering Invisalign
- A crown, bridge or veneer is on your treatment plan
- Implant work that needs a precise abutment fit
Common questions
Answering your questions.
Does the scan hurt?
No. Nothing sets in your mouth and nothing is cut. The wand is smooth, and it only has to move around your teeth.
How long does it take?
15 to 20 minutes to capture images from every angle.
Who benefits most?
Anyone getting a restoration or Invisalign, but especially patients who gag or feel nauseous with conventional impression material.
