At Cascade Family Smiles, we are committed to integrating the latest advancements in dental technology to improve your treatment experience and outcomes. Our dentist and team are proud to utilize digital scanners, a cutting-edge tool that has transformed the way we create dental impressions.
What is a Digital Scanner?
Digital scanners use advanced imaging technology to capture highly accurate, three-dimensional images of your teeth and gums. This non-invasive technique marks a significant improvement over traditional impression methods, offering a comfortable and efficient alternative for our patients. Digital scanning is used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Designing custom dental restorations like crowns, bridges and veneers
- Planning orthodontic treatments, including clear aligners
- Creating precise models for dental implants
- Assessing your oral health and planning comprehensive treatment strategies
