The Whitmar Medical Dental Building - 16315 Whittier Blvd., Suite 203, Whittier, CA 90603At our dental office, we use advanced digital scanning technology to provide you with the most accurate and comfortable care possible. Digital scanners are cutting-edge tools that capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images of your teeth and oral structures. These images allow us to diagnose problems more precisely, design customized treatment plans and ensure that your restorations and appliances fit perfectly for optimal comfort and functionality.
Unlike traditional dental impressions, which can be messy and uncomfortable, digital scanning is a seamless and patient-friendly process. During the procedure, a small, handheld wand is passed over your teeth and gums. As it scans, the device captures thousands of detailed images in real-time, which are immediately processed into a complete digital model of your mouth. This accurate model eliminates the need for physical molds, reduces the risk of errors and speeds up treatment timelines.
One of the significant advantages of digital scanning is its ability to produce full-color images, helping our team differentiate between healthy and compromised tissues. This clarity aids in diagnosing conditions like decay, gum disease or cracks in teeth, allowing us to address issues promptly and effectively. Additionally, the precise data gathered ensures that crowns, bridges, dentures and orthodontic appliances fit comfortably and function as intended.
Digital scanners also play a crucial role in cosmetic and restorative treatments. Whether you are receiving veneers, implants or clear aligners, the precision of the scans helps our dentist design results that enhance your smile while maintaining its natural look and feel. The technology is particularly beneficial for complex cases where exact measurements and alignment are critical to long-term success.
Beyond the immediate benefits for your care, digital scanners are eco-friendly. They eliminate the need for disposable impression materials, reducing waste and contributing to a greener environment. This technology also saves time by producing faster results, minimizing the number of appointments you may need.
