When’s the last time you had your impression taken at a dentist’s office? If it’s been a while, you may remember the goop. Fortunately, there’s a new method for getting impressions that’s both more comfortable and more accurate.



Learn how digital impressions work and why they’re preferable to old-school impressions.

How Digital Impressions Work

Digital impressions use a scanning light to take many pictures of your mouth in a short period of time. This means when you visit our office, we can get a full 3D scan within minutes. We’re able to show you the results and go over any issues we see that could impact treatment.

Why Do We Take Digital Impressions?

It’s easier than ever for us to get a full understanding of your mouth’s structure. This helps us provide the following services:

• Dental Implants
• Fillings
• Night Guards



Digital impressions hold several advantages over traditional ones. First, it’s better for patients with a gag reflex, who may be uncomfortable with the goop. Digital impressions are also more accurate, which means that any restorations we create will be more comfortable.
