Intraoral Prime Scanner
The Intraoral Prime Scanner represents a modern alternative to traditional dental impressions. At Dentistry at Vitality Health, this digital scanning tool helps us create accurate 3D models of your teeth, gums, and bite—without the discomfort of impression trays and materials. The device uses a slim, wand-like scanner that is easily maneuvered in the mouth, capturing thousands of images per second and assembling them into a precise digital impression.
This technology is particularly useful in restorative and cosmetic treatments such as crowns, veneers, and aligners. It enhances patient comfort by eliminating the need for messy impression compounds and improves communication, as both the dentist and the patient can view the scan on-screen in real time.
Because the scanner delivers highly accurate results on the first try, it reduces the need for remakes or repeat appointments. The digital impressions are instantly available for use in treatment planning, laboratory fabrication, or chairside milling processes—supporting faster turnaround times and greater predictability.
The Intraoral Prime Scanner also supports better patient understanding. Seeing your own dental scans in real time allows for more informed discussions about your oral health and the recommended treatment. This technology streamlines our workflow and contributes to a more relaxed, informed, and personalized dental experience.
iTero Scanner
The iTero Scanner is a powerful digital tool that enhances accuracy and efficiency in treatment planning. At Dentistry at Vitality Health, we use the iTero system to take high-resolution, 3D digital impressions of your teeth and gums. This non-invasive technology replaces traditional molds, offering greater comfort and significantly improved precision.
The scanner is especially beneficial for treatments like Invisalign® aligners, crowns, bridges, implants, and veneers. It captures exact tooth structure and bite information, ensuring that restorations or aligners fit correctly and function properly. Since the scans are viewable in real time, you can follow the process alongside your provider and better understand your treatment plan.
One of the key benefits of iTero is its ability to store and transmit digital impressions instantly. This allows for faster collaboration with our in-house digital lab or external partners when needed, reducing wait times and eliminating the need for shipping physical impressions.
Moreover, the iTero system includes simulation features that help you visualize projected treatment outcomes. This helps in setting clear expectations and facilitates better communication during consultations. For patients considering cosmetic or orthodontic work, it can be a valuable tool in the decision-making process.
By integrating the iTero Scanner into our digital workflow, we deliver treatment that is not only efficient and precise but also more comfortable and patient-friendly.
