Having a checkup at the dentist can be a little, well, scary at times. We may have to sit in a big chair and open our mouth wide, and sometimes we even have to hold still while the dentist uses special tools to look at our teeth. But did you know there is a new, cool technology out there that can make going to the dentist easier and even a little fun? It’s called an intraoral 3D scanner.
An intraoral 3D scanner is an interesting tool that dentists use to capture images of the inside — the interior of the mouth. It resembles a miniature wand with a camera at one end, and in only a few quick clicks, it can take snapshots of our teeth, our gums, even our tongue. This technology helps dentists take a deeper look at what’s happening in our mouths so they can give our teeth the best care possible.
The new intraoral 3D scanning technology captures multiple images of our mouths from various angles and then fuses them together to create a single 3D image. This provides dentists with a closer look at our teeth and gums, enabling them to identify any issues that are not easily visible at first glance. And the digital images of my teeth generated by the intraoral 3D scanner can be easily stored, making it simpler for dentists to monitor our dental health over time.
The advantages of intraoral 3D scanning in your dental visit. One of the main benefits is that it can assist dentists in making more precise diagnoses and treatment plans. By seeing more directly inside our mouths, dentists can catch issues early and offer the right care to help keep our teeth in good shape.
I would actually appreciate if benefits of an intraoral 3D scanner are not just for doctors (all those beautiful images we can see) and dental techs (handy-dandy models we receive in our labs ) but also for us. Gone are the days of sitting still for extended periods with traditional x-ray machines; using intraoral 3D scanning means you can get your x-rays conveniently and painlessly, and in a matter of seconds! This translates into less time at the dental chair and more time to play and enjoy!
Beyond just simplifying the dental visit, intraoral 3D scanners can lead to significant improvements in the workflows of dentists. With the precise imagery that it records, the scanner enables dentists to produce custom-made dental fixtures such as crowns and bridges faster and with better accuracy. This not only makes the process more efficient for the dentist and the patient, but also provides a better fit for such dental devices.
Finally, the implementation of 3D intraoral imaging can improve the dental visit and comfort of the patient. When we’re included in it and able to view awesome 3D images of our own mouths, we can start tapping into what’s happening with our dental health. A sure-fire way of reducing any fear or anxiety of visiting the dentist which would be all the better for us.
