The Hope Dental Care Centre is committed to offering our patients the best dental care. We achieve this by infusing dental technology into our services to improve patient experience and streamline workflows. 

One dental technology we proudly use on our Kanata, Ontario, patients is an intraoral scanner that creates digital impressions without uncomfortable and messy gooey material. Instead, Dr. Alireza Farkhondeh, Dr. Wang, and Mr. Majid Ahangaran use a simple, handheld tool to create a detailed 3D rendering of your smile.

What is an intraoral scanner?

Traditionally, dental impressions have been taken by biting into a tray with a thick, paste-like substance. As you’d expect, physical impressions are uncomfortable, from the taste of the gooey material to the fear of gagging. It’s no wonder patients dread traditional impressions. 

With an intraoral scanner, you can enjoy a comfortable dental experience during impressions. The dentist uses a small handheld device to take high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, and other oral structures. The images are displayed on a chairside screen, allowing us to show you what we see, improving doctor-patient communication. 

An intraoral scanner is crucial in diagnostics and precise fabrication of dental prosthetics like crowns, Invisalign, dentures, bridges, night guards, and mouth guards. 

Benefits of an intraoral scanner

 Say goodbye to analog impressions and hello to digital intraoral scanning. Here are the top benefits of a digital scanner.

• Enhanced patient experience: No more biting into a gooey substance or fear of choking. A digital scanner uses a comfortable handheld wand to capture images of your oral cavity
• Improved accuracy: Digital scanning generates high-accurate results, reducing the need for remakes and patient callbacks
• Real-time results: As the intraoral camera captures images, the results are immediately displayed on a computer screen in real time. This provides the dentist with a clear view of the dental structures and areas of concern for timely diagnosis and treatment
• Eco-friendly: An intraoral camera is a greener choice than manual impressions. Digital scanners don’t use chemical substances harmful to the environment, reducing carbon footprint
• Effortless patient education: With a digital scanner, we show you the results instead of trying to create a visual picture. Visual aids improve patient understanding of their current oral condition, which improves acceptance of the proposed treatments
