Benefits of Digital Impression

Posted on 4/24/2023 by Dr. Dani Stansell

Tooth loss is a big concern for many people. That's why many consider dental appliances to allow them to chew, speak properly, and improve their smiles. Whether you are considering dental bridges, implants, or dentures, getting digital impressions is the first step to a successful tooth replacement option. Dental impressions involve taking the molds of your teeth to allow the dentist to create a personalized treatment plan. If you are still unsure whether to consider digital impressions, read on and learn its benefits.

Accuracy

Dental impressions provide detailed information about what is in your mouth. On the other hand, the gloopy materials associated with traditional dental impressions are subjected to human errors. When taking impressions, there might be air bubbles or slight movements, making it challenging for the professional to obtain accurate information the first time.

Since orthodontic treatment depends on accuracy, small errors in your impression can impact the success of your treatment. Digital impressions eliminate these errors. They allow the dentist to view your teeth and jaws from different angles to ensure a successful treatment plan.

Digital impressions are comfortable

Gone are the days when a dentist would insert trays that extend toward the throat. Besides, the trays must stay in the mouth until the putty holds its shape. On the other hand, digital impressions are comfortable and have a quick turnaround time.

The dentist uses a slim digital camera to capture accurate images of your mouth, gums, jaws, and teeth. This is more comfortable than using gloopy impression materials.

Convenience

Another benefit of digital impressions is that they are easy to share. Unlike putty impressions that require manual delivery, a professional can share digital impressions with the click of a button. This eliminates the time spent sharing impressions from the lab to the dentist's office. Do you want a lifetime of a fully functioning mouth and a beautiful smile? We understand the safety and convenience of using digital solutions.
