Intraoral Scanner

An intraoral scanner is a small wand that captures thousands of images of your teeth and gums, stitching them into a detailed 3D model on screen. At Cedar Creek Dental, this digital scan replaces the tray of impression putty many patients remember from past visits, and it builds that precise model in a couple of minutes.

Why a Digital Scan Helps

Comfort — No tray, no putty, no gag reflex to manage while you wait for material to set.
Accuracy — The digital model captures fine detail along the gumline and between teeth.
Speed — A scan can be reviewed on the monitor right away, with no need to send a physical mold out for casting.

Where It's Used

Crowns and bridges — A precise scan helps the fit of a new restoration.
Clear aligners — Dr. Han, who is proficient in Invisalign, relies on this kind of digital scan to plan aligner treatment.
Monitoring — Scans taken over time can be compared to track wear or movement.
