Intraoral Scanner

A clearer, more comfortable way to capture your smile

An intraoral scanner is a small handheld device used to capture digital images of your teeth and the inside of your mouth.

 

These images can create a detailed 3D model, helping your dental team assess your teeth and plan certain treatments. Digital scanning can be an alternative to traditional impression materials for suitable procedures.

The scanner is moved gently around your mouth to record the areas needed for your treatment. Your dentist will explain why a scan is recommended and how the digital images will be used. Whether it is part of planning restorative or cosmetic treatment, the aim is to capture useful detail to support the next steps in your care.

CRANKHALL DENTAL

Digital Dentistry, Designed Around You

Digital scanning captures images of your teeth to help with assessment and planning for suitable treatments. The handheld scanner creates a digital representation of relevant areas of your mouth, which may help the dental team review your teeth and plan certain procedures.

Digital Images of Your Teeth

A handheld scanner captures a series of digital images of your teeth and parts of your mouth. These images can be combined into a digital model that may support assessment, communication and treatment planning where appropriate.

Your clinician will explain what the scan shows and how the information may be used as part of the wider assessment for your particular treatment.

A No-Impression-Paste Option

For suitable procedures, digital scanning avoids the need for traditional impression material, which some patients find bulky or uncomfortable. The scanner is moved around the relevant areas of your mouth to capture the images needed.

Whether it can be used depends on the treatment being planned, so your clinician can confirm if this approach is appropriate for your appointment.

Useful for Treatment Planning

Digital models can help your clinician plan certain restorations or aligner treatments and review the shape and position of your teeth.

THE TREATMENT

What happens during the treatment?

The scanner is moved around the relevant teeth to capture images. You may be asked to keep still or open your mouth in different positions. The process does not involve impression paste.

The digital images create a detailed 3D model of your teeth, which your dentist can use to help assess your smile and plan suitable treatments. The process is designed to be straightforward and comfortable, with your clinician explaining each step as they go.

What is an intraoral scanner?

It is a handheld digital camera used to capture images of your teeth and mouth.

It is non-invasive and generally comfortable, although holding your mouth open may feel tiring.

It can be more comfortable for many patients, but the best method depends on the treatment.

Timing varies with the area and purpose. Your clinician can explain during the appointment.

Digital scans may support aligner planning where appropriate. Your clinician will confirm the process.

Your clinician may be able to show and explain digital images, depending on the equipment.

Usually no special preparation is needed. Follow any instructions from the practice.
