Digital Impressions for Implants and Crowns

0
0

Q: I have large boney projections the size of ½ my pinky finger on my gums; the doctor called them “tori”. I need implants and crowns, but when my doctor tries to take impressions, I scream in pain when the tray holding the goop scrapes against these boney areas. How can I avoid this?

A: You are talking to the right guy. I have an “exostosis”, or tori in my own mouth that can hold a rack of Passover china. Peanut butter loves to rest there as well.

A great technology that I have been using called digital impression scanners avoids the whole goop and impression tray deal completely. A small scanner/camera takes a 3-D image of the teeth or implant abutment posts and emails the image to a special lab that uses robots to mill out a virtual model of your mouth. These models are sent to our local dental lab to construct the final crowns, veneers or bridges for your natural teeth or implants. For free consumer info on iTero digital impressions, contact us or see it demonstrated live at our next seminar!
