FAQ’s About Dental Technology

How does a scanner work?

An intraoral scanner uses light to take thousands of pictures. A “wand” containing a small 3D camera is placed inside your mouth and moved around to capture the shape of your entire mouth. 

Should I be afraid of X-rays?

Modern digital x-rays are even safer because the sensors require less exposure to radiation to capture the images. Also we only take x-rays when necessary to ensure your health.

How are things made differently today?

For decades dentists and lab technicians have been using rubber molds and wax castings to make custom fit crowns for patients. Today we use 3D scans and computers to design them and precise milling machines to manufacture the custom components out of even stronger materials.
