Riverside Holistic Dentistry is proud to use the iTero® digital scanner, an advanced tool that allows us to capture detailed, three-dimensional images of your mouth. This state-of-the-art technology enhances our ability to diagnose dental concerns and plan precise, effective treatments tailored to your needs. Whether you are receiving a routine evaluation, orthodontic care or a restorative procedure, iTero digital scanning supports better results and a more comfortable patient experience.
How the iTero Digital Scanner Works
The iTero scanner captures high-resolution, full-color images of your teeth and surrounding structures at a rapid rate of up to 20 images per second. This capability helps distinguish between healthy and unhealthy tissue with remarkable clarity. The system processes these images in real-time to create an accurate digital model of your mouth. These models serve as the foundation for designing custom restorations, such as crowns, bridges and implants, as well as orthodontic appliances. For patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, iTero technology can even simulate your treatment outcome, giving you a clear picture of your anticipated results.
During your scan, a small, handheld wand is carefully moved over the surfaces of your teeth and gums. The process is fast, noninvasive and comfortable, making it an excellent alternative to traditional impression materials. Because the system saves images automatically every few seconds, there is no need for repeated scans, further improving your convenience and ensuring a smooth experience.
By utilizing the iTero scanner, our dentist and team aim to provide the highest level of accuracy and efficiency for your dental care. This technology supports better-fitting restorations and appliances, shorter treatment times and improved patient education. The ability to show you detailed images and potential treatment outcomes helps you make informed decisions about your care and feel more confident in your smile journey.
