What Are 3D Impressions?
Getting impressions of your mouth used to be considered a lengthy and sometimes uncomfortable process. Physical impressions require that you bite into a mold for long intervals, which is problematic for patients with a powerful gag reflex. This is why Dr. Sula E. Umansky is pleased to give a modern alternative to physical molds with 3D impressions. Using the innovative technology of intraoral cameras, 3D (also called electronic) impressions take exact scans of your mouth. This enables us to make a precise model of your mouth that can be used to make dental restorations, like crowns, implants, inlays, onlays, dentures, and more. If you need restorative dental care, eliminate the time and stress of physical molds using 3D impressions at Advantage Dentists and Orthodontics in Atascocita, TX.
How Do 3D Impressions Work?
During this process, you will relax in the treatment chair while a small scanning wand is moved around your mouth. This tool employs blue wavelength light to precisely capture all areas, crevices, and corners of your mouth. Once the scan is finished, a model of your teeth will appear on the screen. If any areas were overlooked during the initial scan, then a simple rescan will be performed to capture the needed areas, compared to using dental molds, which would necessitate the entire process to be redone.
