Digital impressions

Digital impressions are a faster and easier way to take an impression of your teeth and mouth. With digital impressions we no longer need to use the gooey impression material, that takes longer to set and can be very messy.

At Knighton Dental practice in Leicester we are proud to be able to offer state of the art technology to our patients. Both our itero and primescan digital scanners give us the ability to take digital scans and impressions.

 

Primescan

What is a Primescan digital impression?

Our Prime scanner is the latest technology in dentistry with digital scanning we are able to offer to our patients. Our prime scan reduces appointments needed for treatment and enables us to create crowns in a day. With digital impressions we no longer need to use gooey impression material as before. Prime scan gives a more accurate impression than ever before which is easier and faster than before.

During the digital impression process, you can breathe or swallow as you normally would. You can even pause during the process if you need to sneeze or just want to ask a question.

Our itero Digital Scanner

What is an itero digital scanner digital impression?

The iTero Digital Scanner is an innovative piece of orthodontic technology. Digital scanner enables our team to get a clear picture of your teeth. Small and comfortable to use, the scanner allows us to take accurate records of your teeth and jaws to determine the best treatment which you will benefit the most from.

How will your image appear with a digital impression?

These records appear in 3D images, this will give us the best picture possible of what your teeth and jaws currently look like. Also this lets us see how they’ll be improved after treatment. The real bonus is that you can see the results we could achieve even before we start. During the impression process, you can breathe or swallow as you normally would. You can even pause during the process if you need to sneeze or just want to ask a question.
