Digital impressions are revolutionizing dentistry and offer patients and dentists considerable advantages compared to conventional impression methods with impression materials. It virtually eliminates the need for analog impressions.

 

The Zahnarztpraxis Uetikon am See offers state-of-the-art technology in the form of digital impressions with the Primescan 2. This state-of-the-art technology of the latest generation is the first wireless intraoral scanner in dentistry with 3D scanning technology.

​

How does the digital impression work?

​

The intraoral scanner uses optical technology to record the tooth and jaw structures in real time. The sensor processes 3D points and generates photorealistic and highly precise data. The scanner generates a three-dimensional model that is visualized on the screen. The data obtained can be processed directly and sent to a dental laboratory.

 

Precision and accuracy

 

Digital capture minimizes errors that can occur with conventional impressions due to material distortion or improper handling. The Primescan 2 provides support with its high precision, which goes far beyond conventional impressions and thus ensures more accurate, perfectly adapted results.

 

Time saving  

 

As the digital impression is immediately available, time-consuming work steps such as sending the impressions to the dental laboratory, casting the models, etc. are no longer necessary, thus enabling faster treatment procedures.

 

Efficient communication with the laboratory  

 

The digital data can be transmitted directly to the dental laboratory. This reduces waiting times and enables precise production of dental prostheses.

 

Environmentally friendly  

 

Dispensing with physical impression materials and models saves resources and reduces waste.

 

Areas of application of the digital impression

 

Digital impressions are used in various areas of dentistry:  

Dental prosthetics: crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, overlays, dentures and implant prosthetics, night guard (grinding/clenching splint)

General documentation of jaw length, overbite, bite relation, tooth sizes, tooth spacing, tooth gaps and malocclusions as well as soft tissue

Diagnostics: documentation and analysis of tooth and jaw anomalies  

 

Advantages

 

No feeling of disgust, no gag reflex, avoidance of impression repetitions, avoidance of panic attacks of suffocation; these negative characteristics belong now to the past. The oral scanner is a gentle, fast and much more comfortable impression-taking method that is completely painless.

The oral scanner offers a wide range of applications with above-average accuracy and is easy to use for the dentist. An extremely comprehensive, reliable and hygienic procedure. 

By visualizing the scan, you as the patient become an active part of your own treatment and can thus understand the results achieved and help decide on your dental health or prosthetic treatment together with the dentist.
