Intraoral Scanning
The start of the digital dental workflow
The importance of intraoral scanning
Intraoral scans are taken after surgery to gather data of the temporary, opposing arch, and bite. The temporary is then removed and white caps are placed for a tissue scan. These scans allow us to align all records digitally to fabricate the prototype and final prosthesis digitally. Intraoral scans and the digital process are preferred due to a quicker turnaround time and increased accuracy.
What does a good intraoral scan look like?
Taking an accurate intraoral scan is imperative for a successful case. Intraoral scans provide us with part of the data needed to align the tissue scans, diagnostic scans, and the photogrammetry scans necessary for processing a case.
Don't have an intraoral scanner? No problem!
Acqua-Dent now has our very own intraoral scanner - the SIRIOS™ by Straumann. Whether it's the day of surgery or a post-op scan appointment, we can now perform intraoral scans in addition to photogrammetry scans.
We accept scans from thefollowing intraoral scanners
