You want your experience at the dentist’s office to be comfortable, convenient, and stress-free. If the thought of messy, goopy dental impression trays makes you cringe, we have good news for you.
At LA Dental Town, our team offers a modern alternative to traditional molded impressions. We use fast and easy digital scans to create a precise model of your mouth for restorative and cosmetic dental procedures such as veneers, implants, and crowns.
With traditional dental impressions, you bite down on a tray filled with a soft, putty-like material. Your practitioner pushes the tray firmly against your teeth, and you hold still while the substance hardens.
This process has been the standard method of taking impressions for hundreds of years, but it can be uncomfortable and may trigger a gag reflex for some patients. If the resulting impression isn’t perfect, the entire procedure must be repeated, adding time and stress to your visit.
Digital scanning is completely noninvasive and takes just a few moments. We use a small handheld wand that glides over your teeth, capturing thousands of high-resolution images per second. There are no goopy pastes or bulky trays — just a quick and easy scan that creates a perfect 3D model of your teeth and gums.
Digital scans provide exceptional accuracy for your final dental work. Instead of a physical impression that can warp or have slight imperfections, the scanner creates a highly detailed digital blueprint of your mouth.
This picture ensures that any dental appliance or restoration we create from the scan fits flawlessly and comfortably, which lowers the chance of needing adjustments or multiple follow-up appointments.
Getting a dental restoration like a crown used to take weeks and multiple appointments, but not at LA Dental Town. Our office is fully digital, and our scanning technology and on-site milling machine allow for a single, convenient visit.
Once your scans are complete, we can fabricate your new crown right here in our office while you wait. You don’t have to deal with a temporary crown and weeks of waiting for a lab to create your crown — just a newly repaired tooth, when you need it.
Whether you need to restore a tooth with a crown, or you’re planning a smile makeover with veneers, digital dental impressions are the best way to begin. They ensure your final restoration or appliance not only looks great but also feels natural and functions perfectly with your bite.
Say goodbye to messy old-school dental impressions and hello to a more comfortable, modern dental experience. Contact LA Dental Town in East Los Angeles, California today to schedule your appointment and take the first step on your path to a perfect smile.
