Experience Comfortable, Precise Digital Impressions at Amazing Smile Dentistry
Say goodbye to uncomfortable, messy dental impressions! At Amazing Smile Dentistry in Las Vegas, we’ve revolutionized the impression process with state-of-the-art digital scanning technology. Our advanced intra-oral optical scanning devices create highly accurate 3D models of your teeth and surrounding tissues without the discomfort of traditional methods.
What Are Digital Impressions?
Digital impressions use cutting-edge optical scanning technology to create precise digital models of your teeth and oral structures. This innovative approach replaces the traditional method that required patients to bite into uncomfortable, messy impression materials. With our digital impressions in Las Vegas, Dr. Joseph Gelo can obtain extremely accurate representations of your teeth in significantly less time and with greater comfort.
Benefits of Digital Impressions in Las Vegas
Enhanced Comfort for Patients
Digital impressions eliminate the need for uncomfortable trays filled with impression material that can trigger gagging reflexes. This technology is especially helpful for patients with dental anxiety or sensitive gag reflexes who find traditional impressions challenging.
Superior Accuracy for Better Results
Our digital scanning technology captures your dental structures with incredible precision, resulting in better-fitting restorations. The advanced 3D models provide Dr. Gelo with comprehensive details that traditional impressions might miss, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes.
Faster Treatment Timelines
With digital impressions, we can instantly transmit your scan data electronically to dental laboratories, significantly reducing wait times for crowns, bridges, dentures, and other restorations. This streamlined workflow means fewer appointments and faster completion of your dental work.
Same-Day Restorations
Digital impressions are a crucial component of our same-day restoration capability. In many cases, we can design and create ceramic crowns and other restorations in our office while you wait, eliminating the need for temporary restorations or follow-up appointments.
