Gillespie Dental Associates utilizes iTero® digital scanning to provide precise, high-resolution images of your teeth and gums. This cutting-edge technology enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning, offering a comfortable and efficient alternative to traditional impressions. Whether you need orthodontic treatment, restorations or routine monitoring of your oral health, iTero digital scanning ensures a more streamlined experience.
High-Quality 3D Imaging For Superior Treatment Planning
iTero scanning captures detailed three-dimensional images of your mouth in real time, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions. Using advanced optical and laser scanning technology, the iTero scanner generates up to 20 images per second in full color, allowing for a clear distinction between healthy and compromised tissues. These images create an accurate digital model of your teeth and bite, improving the precision of dental restorations and other custom treatments.
With iTero’s advanced capabilities, our dentists can even simulate your treatment progress and expected results. Whether you are considering orthodontic treatment or restorative procedures, you can preview potential outcomes before committing to a specific plan.
A Comfortable & Efficient Scanning Process
During your appointment, a small handheld wand is used to scan the inside of your mouth comfortably and quickly. As the scanner glides over your teeth and gums, images are processed instantly to construct a complete, highly accurate digital model. Unlike traditional impressions that require sitting through uncomfortable molds, iTero scanning is noninvasive and completed in just a few minutes.
The system also features automatic image-saving capabilities, reducing the need for retakes and ensuring a smooth experience. Patients who experience gag reflexes or discomfort with traditional impressions often find iTero scanning to be a much more pleasant alternative.
Enhancing Dental Treatment With Precision & Accuracy
The accuracy of iTero scanning translates to better-fitting restorations and more effective preventive care, among other benefits. It also integrates seamlessly with digital treatment planning software, allowing for more predictable and efficient results.
