Digital Dentistry: Discover the Power of Our iTero Intraoral Scanner

Digital Dentistry: Discover the Power of Our iTero Intraoral Scanner

At Wichita Dental Group, we believe that exceptional dental care combines expert skill, compassion, and the latest technology. That’s why we’re happy to offer our patients the iTero Intraoral Scanner, a state-of-the-art tool that has truly transformed the dental experience.

With the iTero scanner, you can say goodbye to messy, uncomfortable traditional impressions. This advanced digital scanner uses a small handheld wand, laser technology, and artificial intelligence to capture a highly detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. The result is a process that’s fast, comfortable, and remarkably accurate, making every visit more efficient and stress-free.

Goodbye Goopy Impressions, Hello Digital Comfort!

If you’ve ever had a traditional impression, you know the feeling: the tray loaded with putty, the strange taste, the urge to gag, and the anxious few minutes waiting for it to set. The iTero scanner eliminates all of that.

Instead, we simply glide the smooth, handheld wand over your teeth. You’ll see a digital replica of your smile being built in real-time on our monitor. The process is not only more comfortable but also significantly faster.

Why the iTero Scanner is a Game-Changer for You:

  • Unmatched Comfort: No more gagging or anxiety from bulky impression trays and setting materials.

  • Superior Accuracy: Digital scans capture every detail with incredible precision, leading to better-fitting restorations and appliances.

  • Speed & Efficiency: Scans take just a few minutes, reducing your time in the chair.

  • See What We See: Watch the 3D model of your own smile come to life on the screen, helping you better understand your treatment. We can even send you images of your teeth right after.

  • Health Monitoring: The 5D capability allows us to monitor your oral health over time, catching potential issues earlier.

So, What Can We Use the iTero Scanner For?

The versatility of the iTero scanner is remarkable. It is our go-to tool for a wide range of treatments:

  • Crowns, Bridges, and Veneers: We use the digital scan to design and create perfect-fitting restorations that match your natural teeth seamlessly.

  • Dentures and Partial Dentures: Achieving a comfortable fit is critical for dentures. The digital scan ensures a precise model of your gums and any remaining teeth, leading to a more stable and natural-feeling appliance.

  • Nightguards and Sports Guards: Protect your investment. We can design a custom-fit guard that is far more comfortable and effective than anything you can buy off the shelf.

  • Invisalign Clear Aligners: The iTero scanner is a premier tool for Invisalign treatment. We can show you a simulated outcome of your tooth movement right at your initial consultation, so you can see your potential new smile before you even start!

Beyond the Scan: The Amazing Bonus Features

The benefits don’t stop at taking the scan. The iTero system integrates with other advanced technologies to enhance your care further.

  • 3D Printed Models: Need a physical model? No problem! The digital file can be sent directly to our in-office 3D printer to create an exact physical model of your teeth, all without the need for a traditional impression.

  • Your Scan, Sent Directly to You: We can email your scan report directly to you after your appointment. This allows you to see exactly what we see and serves as a fantastic “before” record if you are beginning a treatment journey.
