CLARITY BEFORE YOUR VISIT

Dental technology questions, answered.

Do digital scans replace traditional impressions?

An iTero scan creates a digital record of your teeth and can replace conventional impressions for many suitable treatments. Some cases still require other records or impression techniques; your dentist will explain what is appropriate.

Are digital scans and dental X-rays the same?

No. An intraoral optical scan records the visible surfaces of teeth without X-rays. Dental radiographs use ionizing radiation to assess structures that cannot be evaluated from an optical scan alone. X-rays are recommended according to your clinical needs.

Can a crown be completed in one visit?

A same-day restoration may be possible in selected cases using the practice’s SprintRay workflow. Suitability depends on the tooth, material, treatment plan, and appointment availability. Your dentist will confirm whether one visit or a laboratory-made restoration is appropriate.

Does digital dentistry cost more?

Fees depend on the treatment, materials, and records required. The team will review the proposed care and costs with you before treatment. Digital equipment does not by itself determine the price or your insurance coverage.

How does technology support cosmetic and Invisalign care?

Digital scans and photographs help your dentist evaluate your smile, explain options, and plan suitable cosmetic or clear-aligner treatment. A digital preview illustrates a proposed change; it does not guarantee the final treatment result.

Will every technology shown be used during my visit?

No. Equipment and imaging are selected for the assessment or treatment you need. Your dentist will explain the recommended approach, relevant benefits and limitations, and alternatives before proceeding.
