Intra-Oral Scanner
No messy impressions and a much more comfortable experience.
For our patients in Shenstone, Lichfield and the surrounding areas, we use an intra-oral scanner to create detailed 3D images of your teeth.
Instead of traditional moulds, we can scan your teeth quickly and comfortably, creating a precise digital model in just a few minutes.
This not only makes your visit more comfortable, but also improves the accuracy of your treatment. Digital scans help reduce errors and improve the fit of restorations, leading to more predictable results.
It also helps make your appointment quicker, easier, and far more relaxed.
A more comfortable alternative to impressions
Many patients find traditional impressions uncomfortable. With digital scanning, there’s no putty, no gag reflex, and no waiting around for materials to set.
The process is quick, clean, and far more comfortable, especially for nervous patients.
Helping you see and understand your teeth
One of the biggest benefits of digital scanning is that you can see exactly what we see.
Your 3D scan is displayed on screen in real time, allowing us to walk you through your teeth, explain any issues, and show how your treatment will work.
This is particularly useful for treatments such as Invisalign and dental implants, where careful planning is essential.
More accurate, more predictable results
Digital scans allow us to plan your treatment with a high level of precision, helping to ensure a better fit and more predictable outcome.
It’s part of our commitment to using modern technology to improve both your experience and your results.
This is part of our advanced dental technology at Shenstone Dental Centre.
