Digital Impressions
PlanScan INTRAORAL SCANNER
Say good-bye to the days of gagging on trays of gooey impression material while your dentist takes a dental impression. Round Rock Dental Group has installed the innovative new PlanScan Intraoral Scanner that quickly and comfortably takes three-dimensional, full-color digital impressions of teeth, gums, oral structures, existing dentures, and implants in record time. This small handheld device is placed in a patient’s mouth to retrieve computer-accurate images (radiation-free photos) that can be viewed immediately—by both patient and doctor—on a screen in our office.
Thanks to cutting-edge technology, we are able to easily create dental impressions that can be used to design and produce effective surgical guides and restorations, track gingival changes, and create mockups.
