Digital Impressions

One of the dental procedures that patients most commonly tell us they dislike is impressions. Traditional impressions typically require a “tray filled with goo” that takes up to 5 minutes to set once placed in the mouth.

Digital impression-taking technology is a recently developed alternative to this traditional method of preparing crowns, veneers and bridges. Digital impressioning allows the dentist or assistant to simply scan the desired teeth with a hand-held scanner instead of placing a tray in the mouth of the patient. The information is gathered in a software program, checked for accuracy by the dentist, and then sent electronically to one of our licensed laboratories for construction of your restoration.

Here at Cooper Moss Advanced Dentistry we use both the Cerec Connect and Chairside Oral Scanner (COS) for your digital imaging.
