Intraoral Scanners
In the past, patients had to pass through several time-consuming processes to get their crowns or dentures placed, which not only took several appointments, but the final results were often less than ideal. With intraoral scanners, Dr. Xu can capture a 3D digital impression with high accuracy in seconds. Intraoral scanners take a detailed impression of your teeth and surrounding oral structures. The benefits of intraoral scanners are numerous, but most patients love the high accuracy level, which creates a more comfortable fit and a much shorter turnaround time.
Additionally, Dr. Xu recommends intraoral scanners for his patients since they offer a wide range of benefits, including:
High Accuracy
These scanners are excellent at capturing all the tiny details in your mouth with fewer errors compared to old-school impressions. Traditional impression materials can shrink, resulting in inaccuracies, especially with elastic impressions.
Maximum Efficiency in Less Time
Unlike traditional impressions that rely on manual handling and storage, which can lead to lost or distorted impressions, scanners zip through the process in one shot. The digital impression gets saved in a simple file, allowing technicians to design and make your prosthesis more efficiently.
Unparalleled Patient Comfort
Say goodbye to gagging fits or weird-tasting impression materials. Scanners avoid all that discomfort, so your dental visit is much less nerve-wracking.
Intraoral Cameras
At Precision Dentistry of Olympia, Dr. Xu uses these cameras to show you exactly what is happening in your mouth. There are no more guessing games; you see everything right there on the screen.
3D Printers
We care about your convenience and have 3D printers connected to the scanners. This means Dr. Xu can make your customized prosthesis in a shorter period of time, and you can walk out with a perfectly fitted crown in about half the time!
Digital X-Rays
Forget those old-school, blurry films that take forever to develop. Our digital X-rays are quick, safe (using reduced radiation doses), and extremely precise. They help our team quickly spot any issues with your teeth or jawbone so they can create a customized treatment plan for you.
Dr. Xu has combined these technologies to make your visit to Precision Dentistry of Olympia a positive experience. It assists him in practicing a conservative dental approach, concentrating on minimally invasive methods that involve removing only what is deemed damaged or superfluous, thereby preserving the rest of the healthy tooth structure.
