How Digital Impressions Transform Your Dental Experience
Digital impressions represent a significant leap from traditional methods of creating molds for dental restorations. Utilizing cutting-edge scanners, digital impressions capture detailed images of a patient’s mouth structure in minutes. This process not only eliminates the discomfort associated with conventional impression materials but also increases the precision of dental appliances and restorations.
The Advantages of Choosing Digital Impressions
- Accuracy and Precision: Digital technology provides unparalleled detail and accuracy, ensuring a better fit for crowns, bridges, and retainers.
- Patient Comfort: Say goodbye to the unpleasant taste and sensation of traditional impression materials. Digital impressions are quick and comfortable.
- Efficiency: The immediate availability of digital data speeds up the treatment planning process, allowing for faster turnaround times on dental appliances.
- Eco-friendly: By eliminating the need for disposable impression materials, digital impressions are a more sustainable choice.
Understanding the Process Behind Digital Impressions
The journey towards your perfect smile begins with a detailed scan of your mouth using a handheld scanner. Dr. Preethy Jacob Kunthara, DDS, BDS, with her extensive experience in general dentistry, skillfully guides the scanner around your mouth. This device captures thousands of images per second, which are then compiled into an accurate 3D model of your mouth. This model serves as the foundation for designing your custom dental restoration or appliance.

Your comfort and understanding are our top priorities at Simon Dental Care. When preparing for a digital impression session, there’s no need for any special preparation on your part. However, understanding what to expect can ease any apprehensions. You’ll simply be seated comfortably while Dr. Kunthara or one of our skilled team members performs the scan. It’s quick, non-invasive, and completely painless.
