Traditional dental impressions aren’t always the most pleasant part of a dental visit. Cold trays, gooey material, and the occasional gag reflex can leave you dreading what should be a simple step. That’s why Champion Family Dental has invested in digital scanner technology – a quicker, cleaner, and more comfortable experience.
Instead of biting into a mould, a slim, handheld device takes high-resolution images of your teeth and gums. These images are instantly stitched together to form a precise 3D model, helping us plan your dental care with greater clarity and efficiency.
How Digital Scans Improve Your Dental Experience
This technology is particularly useful for procedures that require custom fitting, such as crowns, bridges, and clear aligners. The digital process eliminates the need for messy impression trays in most cases and reduces the margin for error. That means fewer remakes, a better fit, and a smoother visit overall.
While we still occasionally use traditional methods when needed, the intraoral scanner has become our go-to for most impressions. It helps save time, streamlines communication with labs, and supports high-quality results for you.
What to Expect During Your Scan
The process is simple. After a quick check, we’ll use the scanner to glide over your teeth and gums. You’ll see a digital model of your mouth come to life on the screen in real time. There’s no discomfort, no waiting for materials to set, just a clear view of your oral health and what comes next.
Your Comfort Matters to Us
We’re always looking for ways to make your time in the chair more relaxed and efficient. By combining advanced scanning with experienced, thoughtful care, we aim to make each visit easier and more precise than the last.
