At Snow Family Dentistry, we are committed to using the most up-to-date technology to ensure safe, effective treatments for our patients. One example of this is the iTero intraoral scanner, which helps us get a clear visual of your teeth and their placement in the mouth. If you have questions about this technology or its use in our practice, contact Snow Family Dentistry in Mesa, AZ at any time.
What is Intraoral Scanner iTero?
The iTero intraoral scanner allows us to perform digital wellness evaluations. Essentially, this scanner takes a 3-D digital model of the teeth. We can use this information to make more precise treatment determinations, guiding our patients toward the perfect fit with their Invisalign, crowns, bridges, and other restorative work.
Being scanned with iTero is quick, painless, and does not require any radiation exposure you might associate with conventional X-Rays. We can show you how the scanner intraoral iTero works and answers any other questions you may have about it here at our practice.
