What is an iTero CT scan?

The iTero intraoral scanner is a hand-held device that can scan the inside of your mouth to produce 3D images of your teeth. This advanced dental CT Scan technology is used to check for bone and tissue pathology, teeth fractures, bone density, and is even used for precision in implant placement. Unlike traditional methods, our CT Scan eliminates the need for rubber mouth impressions, instead capturing highly accurate digital images of your teeth and surrounding tissues.

These compact devices are patient-friendly and offer unparalleled detail for creating dental impressions. The scanner takes precise images that are sent to a lab technician within seconds, allowing for the quick fabrication of dental restorations like crowns. This means crowns that fit perfectly, eliminating the need for post-placement adjustments.

The iTero scanner works in real-time, so Dr. Mozner can instantly verify if an image is accurate, avoiding delays from having to retake impressions later. This is especially important in restorative treatments, where precision is key.

What are the benefits of dental CT scans?

Our iTero CT Scan technology offers numerous benefits over traditional methods:

Comfort

The iTero scanner eliminates the need for sticky, uncomfortable dental impressions. The compact wand takes up to 6,000 frames per second, capturing highly detailed images of even the most hard-to-reach areas, such as your molars, without causing the gagging often associated with traditional impressions.

Speed

Because the CT Scan technology works so quickly, you can complete the process in far less time than traditional impressions. This means shorter appointments, and you can be in and out faster—perfect for busy schedules.

Accuracy

Digital CT Scans provide superior accuracy, capturing every angle and detail of your teeth. This level of precision is especially important for treatments like dental implants or crowns, where exact placement is crucial. By using high-resolution scans, the lab can create crowns or other restorations that fit perfectly, eliminating the need for adjustments after placement.
