Revolutionizing Dental Impressions with Digital Technology

At our clinic in Saint-Laurent, we’re excited to offer the latest in dental technology with digital impressions. Unlike traditional impression methods, which rely on messy and uncomfortable molding materials, digital impressions use advanced technology to capture highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums. This process is faster, more comfortable, and offers superior precision for your dental treatment needs.

What are Digital Impressions?

Digital impressions involve the use of an intraoral scanner — a small, handheld device that captures detailed images of your teeth, gums, and the inside of your mouth. The scanner uses a safe, non-invasive process to scan your teeth and instantly create a precise 3D model of your dental structures. The digital images are displayed on a screen in real-time, allowing both you and your dentist to see your dental condition immediately.

How Digital Impressions Work

1. Scanning: The intraoral scanner is gently moved inside your mouth, where it captures thousands of high-definition images per second.
2. Instant Visualization: The images are processed into a 3D model displayed on a screen within minutes.
3. Accurate and Precise: The digital impression is incredibly accurate, capturing even the smallest details of your teeth and gums, which is ideal for treatments such as crowns, bridges, and aligners.
4. No Waiting Time: Unlike traditional impressions, which require you to wait for the materials to harden, digital impressions are ready immediately for use in creating your custom restorations.

Why Choose Digital Impressions?

• Comfort: Traditional impressions often involve trays filled with gooey, uncomfortable material that can make you gag or feel claustrophobic. With digital impressions, the process is quick and comfortable—no messy impression material is needed.
• Speed: Digital impressions are taken in just a few minutes, saving you time during your visit. There’s no need for multiple appointments to send off traditional molds.
• Precision: Digital impressions offer unparalleled accuracy, with 3D scans capturing even the smallest details. This ensures that your crowns, bridges, or aligners fit perfectly the first time.
• No Radiation: Unlike X-rays, digital impressions are completely safe and do not expose you to any radiation.
• Eco-Friendly: Since no physical molds or impression materials are used, digital impressions are environmentally friendly, reducing the amount of waste generated by traditional methods.

Applications of Digital Impressions in Our Clinic

• Restorative Dentistry: For crowns, bridges, veneers, and other restorations, digital impressions provide an accurate blueprint to create custom solutions that fit perfectly the first time.
• Orthodontics: Digital impressions are ideal for creating clear aligners, such as Invisalign. The highly detailed scans allow for precise treatment planning and comfortable, well-fitting aligners.
• Implants: For dental implants, digital impressions provide detailed models of your teeth and jaw, aiding in the precise placement of implants with minimal disruption to surrounding areas.
• Cosmetic Dentistry: If you're interested in smile makeovers or other aesthetic procedures, digital impressions ensure that your restorations match your natural teeth for a beautiful, custom result.
• Night Guards and Sports Mouthguards: Digital impressions also work for custom-fitted night guards or mouthguards, providing a perfect fit to protect your teeth.

• Higher Success Rate: The precision of digital impressions helps to ensure that restorations and orthodontic appliances fit perfectly the first time, reducing the likelihood of needing adjustments.
