Intraoral and Extraoral Scanning at Pleasant Dental

At Pleasant Dental in Lindon, we prioritize advanced imaging technologies to enhance patient care and treatment outcomes. We offer our patients a detailed look at their oral health using intraoral cameras and extraoral scanners. These technologies replace traditional impressions with comfortable, high-resolution imaging, allowing for precise diagnosis and a more seamless dental experience.

What is an Intraoral Camera?

An intraoral camera is a small, high quality, pen-sized device used to capture detailed images of the mouth, making it easier for our dental office team to assess and explain dental conditions. Our clinic uses advanced Mouthwatch intraoral cameras to provide high-resolution photos that are instantly available for review on-screen. This assists patients in gaining a clearer understanding of their treatment choices while enabling our local dentist team to detect even the most minor issues, from early-stage decay to tiny cracks.

With the intraoral camera, patients can see a close-up view of areas that may require treatment, which enhances understanding and trust in the diagnostic process. These images can also be securely stored and referenced during follow-up appointments, ensuring continuity in care.

Benefits of Extraoral Scanners

An extraoral scanner captures larger sections of the mouth and jaw, making it ideal for full-arch scans, implants, and other complex dental procedures. Our extraoral scanners provide high-definition digital impressions, improving the accuracy of restorative treatments such as crowns, bridges, and implants. By creating a complete digital image, the scanner minimizes the need for physical molds and the discomfort they sometimes cause.

Extraoral scanners streamline the workflow within dental offices by producing instant, highly accurate images. This speeds up designing and fitting dental appliances, resulting in fewer adjustments and more predictable outcomes.

Advantages of Digital Imaging in Dentistry

Digital imaging with intraoral and extraoral scanners offers numerous advantages over traditional impression techniques:

  • Comfortable and Quick: Digital scans are much quicker, enhancing the patient experience.
  • Reduced Wait Time: Scans are instantly available for faster diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Improved Precision: These advanced tools capture high-quality images, providing better fit and comfort in dental restorations.
