Digital Impressions
A digital impression uses an intraoral scanner to capture a precise 3D model of the teeth and bite in minutes — replacing traditional putty trays, and sending files instantly to the lab or 3D printer for crowns, aligners, and implant restorations.
Doorstep Scanning Available — convenient digital impression scanning at your location.
What a digital impression captures
The intraoral scanner records thousands of surface points per second, building a highly accurate digital model of both arches and the bite relationship — precise enough for same-day crowns, clear aligners and implant restorations.
Common uses: crown and bridge fabrication, clear aligner planning, implant restoration design, and study models for orthodontic monitoring.
Is a digital impression right for your patient?
Crown & bridge patients
A precise digital model sent directly to the lab, reducing remakes from distorted putty impressions.
Aligner & ortho patients
The digital file needed to plan clear aligner treatment or monitor tooth movement over time.
Implant restorations
Combined with CBCT data, forms the basis for implant crowns and surgical guide design.
Scan time
Around 5-10 minutes for a full-arch digital impression — no setting time, no gag reflex.
Radiation
None. Digital impressions use optical scanning, not X-ray, and involve zero radiation dose.
File delivery
Digital files are transferred to your lab or clinic system instantly after the scan.
Preparation
No special preparation needed. Teeth should be free of excess food debris before scanning.
