Dental imaging involves the penetration of radiation through the dental structures to obtain digital images of the teeth and the mouth. This information is sent to a computer where the digital impression is generated. Digital impressions are also sometimes called digital images or digital scans.
With the advancements in dental technology, patients' exposure to radiation is minimized to as little as possible while allowing them to have the privilege of instantaneous radiographs. Dental imaging allows the dentists closer to obtain more accurate and clearer images, thus assisting in a more precise, comprehensive diagnosis.
There are a number of benefits to using digital impressions. The digital impression scanner uses lasers to scan the inside of the patient's mouth. This means that patients won't have any messy impression material inside their mouths, which can be uncomfortable.
Digital impressions are faster and more efficient, which speeds up the dental process. Because the scanner uses lasers, it provides accuracy. The scanner can scan the inside of the patient's mouth in just a few minutes, and the computer provides an accurate representation of the patient's teeth.
Another benefit of digital impressions is that it provides dentists with precise measurements. The dentist is able to look at a representation of the patient's teeth, which makes it much easier to diagnose any problems. Dentists are able to use this precise information to create a treatment plan for the patient.
Besides, dental imaging is completely safe, and it's also completely painless. Dental imaging doesn't expose patients to radiation, and it doesn't require any injections or sedatives.
Dental imaging helps dentists make an accurate diagnosis of the patient's condition and determine the best treatment plan for the patient. The dentist may also use dental imaging to monitor dental patients' progress.
Dental imaging allows the dentist to closely examine a patient's teeth, mouth, gums, and jaw. These images give the dentist a complete understanding of the patient's oral health. Dental imaging can also help the dentist detect any dental problems early before they become severe.
The dentist may use dental imaging for a number of different dental procedures, including:
Digital impressions are completed through the use of a scanner. This scanner rotates around the patient's teeth, capturing multiple images per second. These images are then sent to the dental lab, where a 3D model of the teeth is created.
Compared to traditional dental impressions, digital impressions are more comfortable for patients, as no putty-like material is placed between the teeth. Digital impressions are also less likely to result in distortions than the traditional method.
