17 | O akville B eaver | T hursday,M ay 12,2022 insidehalton.com Bhandari Dental has introduced new 3D scanning technology to significantly improve the experience of patients visiting the Oakville clinic. The iTero Digital Laser Scanner is used for impressions needed to make restorations like crowns, inlays or for dental implant restoration. "In just a couple of minutes, the scanner uses digital imaging technology to create images of your teeth. This process makes measuring and evaluating your mouth easier for us, and more comfortable for you," explains Dr. Bhandari. This advanced diagnostic tool improves speed, accuracy and the scanning experience. The iTero Scanner creates images that are used to create impressions. The process eliminates the traditional process of creating a mold made by placing a tray filled with liquid into the mouth that remains there until it becomes a solid impression of the lower or upper teeth. Intraoral scanners feature a wand, which the dental professional moves around a patient's mouth. Attached to the wand, the laser scanner camera head fits easily into the mouth and scans with more than 100,000 points of reference. This in turn provides accurate three-dimensional digital images of the teeth allowing the creation of ideally fitting restorations. The iTero Digital Scanner reduces appointment times by up to 22 per cent and eliminates the need for return appointments due to inaccurate impressions. It also provides real-time visualizations for patients to help them understand how a damaged tooth or teeth will be restored. They can even seewhat their teeth will look like after the restoration. Intraoral scanners are simple to use and their user-friendly nature helps dental professionals get the best results. The scans they produce are also more detailed than the traditional two-dimensional images they replace. Intraoral scanners also have screens which display the digital dental images as they're captured in real time. The screens show whether the scan is good or not before it's saved and submitted to the lab. This feature can be a real time-saver for dental professionals who, in the past, could receive word from the lab two or three weeks later that their scanswere inadequate.Byproviding immediate feedback, intraoral scanners can save dental professionals and patients time and frustration.
