What Are Digital Impressions?
Digital impressions are high-resolution 3D scans of your teeth and gums, captured using a small handheld wand. At our office, we use the iTero Element Scanner, a trusted tool in modern dentistry that produces incredibly precise images—without the discomfort of traditional impressions.
With iTero, Dr. Henderson can view your entire oral anatomy in real time, allowing for a more personalized and efficient approach to treatment planning.
