3D Digital Scanning

We Use the Best System for the Most Precise Diagnosis

Getting impressions of your teeth and gums is a necessary part of dental work—from routine exams to cosmetic procedures. At Elite Dental Care, we use the latest 3D digital technology.

Gone are the days of biting into messy and uncomfortable traditional plastic trays. Now, with the wave of our lightweight wand, we get an instant 3D model of your entire mouth that you’re able to view directly from the dental chair.

Our iTero digital scanner is faster, non-invasive, and captures a far more detailed view of your mouth. From there, we can provide more accurate treatment, such as dental restorations, custom-fit whitening trays, and dental appliances, with every detail perfectly matched to your mouth.

The result is quicker appointments and better results.

After your scan is completed, Dr. Zavari will review the images with you and answer any questions you might have.

The Old Way

Our Way

How It Works

It’s a simple process: a wand is moved around your mouth, capturing thousands of frames per second. Next, the computer system pieces the images together to create a 3D image of the entire mouth.

The information from a 3D scan offers much more detail than what we can get with a 2D scan. Then, the scans are used to create dental models for any restorative or orthodontic work. Additionally, these scans are helpful for diagnosing certain issues and designing optimal treatment plans. Once a year, the scan is repeated to monitor any changes in your teeth, such as:

  • Changes in your bite
  • Changes in your gum line (recessions)
  • Changes in enamel wear
  • Changes in teeth position (movements)
