Digital Dentistry- A Better Way

Brought to you by - Dr. Bradley Hepler and Dr. Jeffrey Priluck, The Atlanta Center for Dental Health

Have you ever been to the dentist and the dentist needs to take an impression of your mouth? If you have done this before, you may have just taken a deep breath and started to get nervous. Traditional impressions have always involved a large tray loaded with impression material (goop!?!) that must be inserted into your mouth to make a mold of your teeth. Isn’t there a better way? Yes! The latest technology now allows your dentist to take a digital impression instead.

Digital impressions (also called 3-D intraoral scanning) construct a three-dimensional digital model of your teeth and your entire mouth. Digital impressions are less messy and more pleasant than traditional impressions. Patients with a gag reflex or sensitive teeth have a better, more comfortable experience. A small (radiation-free) laser wand takes a series of images of your teeth and your gums and stitches them together into a 3-D virtual model of your mouth. You can immediately touch the screen and rotate and adjust the image to see your teeth from all angles. You very likely have never seen your teeth and your mouth like this. It’s amazing!

The Atlanta Center for Dental Health has the iTero Element intraoral scanner imaging system. The 3-D model of your mouth is immediately on the IPadlike screen right beside you. It can immediately be adjusted and looked at from all angles. This image can be

PROVIDED uploaded to the dental laboratory for the construction of a crown or clear aligners or other dental prosthetics and appliances. This allows for the rapid fabrication of amazingly accurate, perfectly fitting, artistically created natural looking dental restorations that improve your smile and your appearance and wow your friends. One of the most amazing uses of this technology is the ability to immediately see a Smile Simulation. In about a minute, your dentist can show you what your smile would look like if you straightened your teeth or improved your bite with clear aligners, like Invisalign™. Again, you can touch the screen so that you can see your smile from all angles. Dr. Hepler and Dr. Priluck at the Atlanta Center for Health would love to show this technology. Please call or stop by for a quick no cost Smile Simulation of your very own.
