What Is an Intra-Oral Scanner?
Dentist Gilbert
An intra-oral scanner is an advanced digital device that captures precise 3D images of your teeth and gums. At Bronco Family Dental, we use this advanced technology to replace traditional messy impression materials, ensuring faster, more accurate, and more comfortable results. Using safe optical scanning, the device quickly collects thousands of detailed images per second, creating a 3D digital model of your mouth.
Dr. Emily Maslovich uses this data to design crowns, bridges, Invisalign® aligners, and other restorations that fit just right. Because the scanner eliminates the need for physical molds, it offers improved comfort, no gag reflex, and faster turnaround times. Digital impressions are more precise than traditional methods, reducing the risk of remakes or adjustments. The process is simple, clean, and efficient, helping you achieve beautifully accurate results in less time.
