At Smile Creations Dental, we use modern dental technology to make care more accurate, comfortable, and efficient for patients in Suwanee, Georgia. One of the most helpful tools we offer is the iTero® digital scanner, which creates a detailed 3D image of your teeth without the mess of traditional impressions.
What Is the iTero® Scanner?
The iTero scanner is a handheld device that captures thousands of images in seconds and turns them into a precise digital model of your smile. This scan helps our team evaluate your teeth and bite, plan treatment, and track changes over time.
Why We Use Digital Scanning
- More comfortable than putty impressions: No trays, no gagging, and no messy materials.
- High accuracy: Detailed 3D scans support better-fitting restorations and more predictable planning.
- Faster workflow: Digital files can be sent quickly to labs or used for treatment planning.
- Clearer communication: Seeing a 3D model helps patients better understand recommendations.
How the Scan Works
The scan is quick and non-invasive. We gently move the scanner around your teeth to capture images from multiple angles. Most scans take only a few minutes, and you can return to your day right away.
How iTero Supports Clear Aligner Treatment
For patients considering clear aligners (including Invisalign®), digital scanning is an important first step. It helps us evaluate spacing, crowding, and bite alignment so we can determine whether aligners are a good fit for your goals.
