Itero Digital Scanning in North Langley
Modern dentistry allows us to gather detailed information about your teeth without relying on traditional putty impressions in many situations.
At AltaVia Dental, we use iTero digital scanning technology to create precise three-dimensional images of your teeth and bite. The scan is quick, comfortable, and allows both you and your dentist to see a detailed digital representation of your smile on screen.
The iTero scanner uses a small handheld wand that is moved gently around your teeth. As it scans, thousands of images are captured and combined to create a highly detailed 3D model of your mouth.
The process is comfortable, does not involve radiation, and can often be completed within minutes.
Digital scans can support a variety of dental treatments and planning, including:
- Invisalign and other clear aligner treatment
- Crowns and bridges
- Retainers and dental appliances
- Implant planning and restorative care
- Monitoring changes in tooth position or wear
- Evaluating your bite
- Creating digital dental records
Because the scan can be viewed immediately, your dentist can also use the images to help explain findings and involve you more directly in treatment discussions.
Digital scanning can reduce or eliminate the need for traditional impression materials for many procedures, making the experience easier for patients who have a strong gag reflex or simply prefer a more comfortable approach.
At AltaVia Dental, technology is used thoughtfully — not simply because it is new, but because it can make diagnosis, communication, and treatment planning more precise and comfortable.
