Digital Dentistry Designed Around the Patient
Modern digital dentistry helps make treatment more comfortable, precise, and easier for patients to understand.
Digital technology allows our team to collect detailed information, plan treatment more clearly, and create personalized dental appliances with a streamlined workflow.
At Bellesmere Dental, technology supports the clinical experience rather than replacing personalized care. Our team uses digital information to explain findings, review treatment options, and help patients feel more informed throughout their visit.
Book an AppointmentMore Comfortable
Digital scanning can reduce the need for traditional impression materials in many situations.
Highly Detailed
Digital records help capture the shape and structure of teeth with a high level of detail.
Easier to Understand
Visual information can make it easier for patients to understand their oral health and treatment options.
A More Comfortable Way to Capture Your Smile
The iTero scanner creates a detailed digital model of the teeth and bite. A small scanning wand moves around the mouth while the digital model appears on screen.
This digital approach can reduce the need for traditional impression materials in many cases and gives patients a clearer visual understanding of their teeth.
Comfortable Digital Scans
The scanner captures detailed information without trays filled with traditional impression material in many situations.
Detailed Digital Models
Digital models provide a clear representation of the teeth, bite, and surrounding structures.
Better Patient Communication
Patients can view their scan and better understand what the dental team is evaluating.
Traditional Impressions vs. Digital Scanning
Both methods can collect important dental information, but digital scanning offers a different experience for many patients.
Conventional Impression Materials
- Uses trays and impression material
- Requires the material to set in the mouth
- May need to be repeated if the impression is unclear
- Creates a physical model of the teeth
A Digital View of Your Teeth
- Uses a handheld digital scanning wand
- Creates a digital model on screen
- Allows areas to be rescanned when needed
- Helps patients visualize their dental information
