Dental 3D scanning is a modern technology used in dentistry to create accurate digital models of a patient’s teeth and oral structures.

1. High Precision: It captures accurate images of teeth, gums, and bite.
2. Technology: A small handheld scanner takes many images quickly and combines them into a 3D model.
3. Non-invasive: The process is comfortable and does not involve radiation.

Purpose:

• Treatment Planning: Helps dentists design crowns, bridges, dentures, and braces based on precise measurements.
• Visual Aid: Allows dentists and patients to see treatment plans more clearly.
• Efficiency: Reduces the need for messy traditional impressions.

Benefits:

• Speed: Faster than traditional methods, saving time for everyone.
• Comfort: Patients often find scanning more comfortable than taking molds.
• Better Fit: Increased accuracy can lead to better-fitting dental work.
