What is an Intraoral Scanner?

With our intraoral scanner, you can have complete confidence in the care you’re receiving. You’ll know what’s going on inside your mouth and be able to make the best decisions for your dental health.

An intraoral scanner is a small, handheld device that takes high-resolution images of your teeth and gums. It’s similar to a traditional dental X-ray but doesn’t use radiation. Instead, it uses light to create a 3D image of your mouth. The scanner is very precise so that Dr. Bates can get a clear view of your teeth and gums. 

We display the images on a computer screen, so Dr. Bates can show you what he’s seeing. He can zoom in on specific areas of concern and show you exactly what’s happening. For example, you’ll have a complete image of the cavity, fractured tooth, or another issue when you see it firsthand, and you can make more informed treatment decisions.

Why Choose an Intraoral Scanner?

There are many benefits to choosing an intraoral scanner for your dental care. Because there’s no radiation, you can rest assured that it’s safe.

It gives you a better view of your mouth. With a traditional X-ray, you can only see a 2D image of your teeth. But with an intraoral scanner, you can see a 3D image that gives you a better idea of what’s going on inside your mouth.

And because it’s so small, it won’t make you feel claustrophobic like a traditional X-ray machine can.

Finally, it’s more efficient. Dr. Bates can take as many pictures as he needs to get a clear view of your mouth.

How Does an Intraoral Scanner Work?

An intraoral scanner uses infrared light to create a 3D image of your mouth. We display the images on a computer screen, so Dr. Bates can show you what he’s seeing. He can zoom in on specific areas of concern and show you exactly what’s happening.

Who Should Use an Intraoral Scanner?

Anyone who wants a clear view of their oral health can benefit from an intraoral scanner. If you’re concerned about your oral health or are due for a check-up, an intraoral scanner can give you the peace of mind you need.
