No goop, no gag—just accuracy. Our digital scanner captures a fast, comfortable 3D model of your teeth to plan crowns, clear aligners, occlusal guards, implant restorations, and more. At Strasburg Dental Group, digital scanning helps us deliver beautiful results that fit and feel right the first time.
Why Patients Love Scanning
Digital impressions are comfortable, efficient, and highly precise. You can visualize your smile as we scan, and we can zoom in to review details together. The accuracy improves how restorations seat and how appliances fit, often reducing adjustments and shortening chair time at delivery.
How It Works
A handheld wand captures thousands of images per second and stitches them into a 3D model. Because the process uses optical imaging—not radiation—it’s safe for repeated use. We can immediately evaluate margins, bite relationships, and soft-tissue contours, then share the file securely with our partner lab or in-office design system.
What It’s Used For
We rely on digital scans for crowns, bridges, veneers, implant abutments and crowns, occlusal guards, orthodontic planning, and record-keeping. For cosmetic cases, we use scans to preview adjustments and collaborate with you on shape, length, and symmetry.
Your Experience
The scan is quick—often 2–5 minutes per arch. If you have a strong gag reflex or past impression anxiety, you’ll appreciate how comfortable the process is. After scanning, we’ll review the model together and answer questions about your treatment plan and timeline.
