At Beverly Hills Dental Arts, we utilize the iTero Element 5D imaging system for precise digital scanning. This state-of-the-art technology enhances diagnostic accuracy, provides 3D digital impressions, and ensures optimal dental care.
Visualize your teeth and gums with precision
Digital scanning in dentistry employs advanced technology like the iTero Element 5D to create precise, three-dimensional images of your teeth and gums. This non-invasive procedure captures detailed impressions, enabling your dentist to diagnose issues and plan treatments with exceptional accuracy. It enhances patient experience by allowing you to see visual simulations of treatment outcomes, making it easier to understand your dental care plan and track progress. Digital scanning improves the precision of treatments like Invisalign and veneers, ensuring better results and a more comfortable experience.
Digital scanning can identify:
- Tooth decay, including early-stage cavities
- Gum disease and periodontal pockets
- Misalignment issues for orthodontic treatments
- Wear and tear on teeth, such as cracks or chips
- Interproximal caries (cavities between teeth)
- Precise oral structure for crowns, bridges, and veneers
How does digital scanning work?
Digital scanning uses optical technology to capture detailed images of your oral structures. The iTero Element 5D scanner emits a safe light beam that scans your teeth and gums, creating thousands of reference points. These points are compiled into a precise 3D digital model using advanced algorithms. The scanner also integrates Near-Infrared Imaging (NIRI) to detect interproximal caries without radiation. This digital model allows for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring, improving the overall quality and precision of dental care.
