Digital Wellness Scans
Say goodbye to the "gag test" and the tray of goop. If you've ever had a dental impression, with that mouth full of cold, suffocating putty, you know why people dread it. We've replaced that outdated experience with the Digital Wellness Scan. Using a compact, radiation-free wand, we capture thousands of images per second to build a perfect 3D replica of your teeth and gums in real-time. It’s fast, comfortable, and for the first time, it lets you see exactly what we see.
What is a Digital Wellness Scan?
A Digital Wellness Scan (often performed with iTero™ or Trios™ technology) is a non-invasive procedure that creates a high-definition, 3D color map of your entire mouth.
Unlike X-rays, which use radiation to see inside the bone, this scanner uses harmless optical light to see the surface of your teeth and gums. Within minutes, a digital model appears on the screen in front of you. We can rotate it, zoom in on a cracked tooth, or show you exactly where your gum line is receding.
It turns a dental checkup from a lecture into a collaboration.
Why We Do It: The "Time-Lapse" Technology
The true power of the Wellness Scan isn't just seeing your teeth today—it's seeing how they change over time.
By scanning you at every checkup, our software overlays the new scan on top of the old one. It creates a "heat map" that detects microscopic changes that the human eye might miss, such as:
- Teeth Grinding: We can see exactly where your enamel is wearing down year over year.
- Gum Recession: We can measure gum loss in millimeters.
- Tooth Movement: We can track if your teeth are shifting or crowding as you age.
The "No-Goop" Experience vs. Traditional Impressions
The Pros and Cons
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any radiation?Absolutely not. The scanner uses standard optical light and lasers to measure geometry. It is as safe as having your picture taken with a digital camera. It is completely safe for pregnant patients and children.
How long does it take?A full mouth wellness scan typically takes 2 to 5 minutes. If you need a break, we can pause the scanner and resume exactly where we left off.
Does it cost extra?We believe this technology is fundamental to good diagnostics. We include a Digital Wellness Scan as part of your comprehensive new patient exam and periodic checkups at no additional fee.
