What disadvantages should you expect if you choose a conventional dental clinic and conventional impression taking?
After the teeth have been ground, the impression is generally inaccurate, which is influenced by several factors. With regard to the human factor, the patient must remain motionless for a few minutes because the impression can become distorted. The preparation of the impression material can also lead to problems. For patients with gag reflexes, both the large expansion of the tray and the impression material itself can cause discomfort. As a result, there is no protection by the dental crown against bacteria on the patient's own tooth, which can lead to toothache after a few months or possibly a year, or the tooth under the restoration may need root canal treatment.
There is also a risk that the teeth under the dentures will decay if the impression was not taken successfully enough.
What are the advantages of digital impression taking in our dental clinic?
Digital impressions are taken using an intraoral scanner instead of a conventional impression material. One of the biggest advantages of this procedure is that the scanned area is also visible to the patient on the screen in 3 dimensions.
In our dental clinic we use the 3Shape intraoral scanner system, which has numerous advantages:
- From the patient's point of view, the impression is taken in complete comfort.
- In contrast to conventional impression taking, a much more precise result is achieved with digital impression taking.
- This is the perfect solution for patients with gag reflexes.
- The technology shortens the time it takes to take the impression.
- The patient can become an active part of the planning process and achieve the optimum result together with their dentist.
- We can ensure a lifetime guarantee thanks to digital technology, which has reduced the previous impression errors with manual technology to zero.
As you can see, you as a patient are at the center of technological development. The sole aim of our dental clinic is to carry out dental treatments painlessly and as effectively as possible, the result of which is you as a satisfied patient and an aesthetic dental prosthesis.
