3D scan
Our cutting edge, state-of-the-art technology allows us to provide premium quality service!
At Clarendons, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve, particularly in regards to the technology we employ at our contemporary dental practice. There’s no greater demonstration of this than with our 3D scanning technology – where we can scan a patient’s face with expert precision, to ensure a perfect match for your dental requirements.
It’s important to remember that placing an implant would be much more difficult, if we didn’t have an exact measurement of where it should be placed. This is where 3D scanning makes such a difference, as it allows us to pinpoint to the most minute detail, exactly how and where an implant should be placed.
The benefits
Efficiency – 3D scanning helps to save time; as technological advancements have enabled us to carry out a face scan within a matter of seconds!
Accuracy – In addition to saving time, with 3D scanning we can scan a patient’s face with excellent accuracy, so that when it comes to implant placement, our dentists will have complete awareness in regards to how and where the implant is positioned.
Aesthetics – 3D scanning is also preferred by patients, when compared to a 2D scan. This is because when analysing a 2D scan, complete visibility is difficult and may even look strange to the patient. On the flip side, a 3D scan allows the dentist and the patient to have a complete view of the mouth, as well as giving the patient an opportunity, to see exactly where improvements will be made.
What we use at Clarendons
At our bespoke dental practice, we utilise ultra-modern, streamlined technology. Our 3-Shape Trios Digital Scanner provides us with 3D imagery of your mouth, which allows us to prepare your dental implants to the most minute of details. This way, you can be safe in the knowledge that your implants will be a perfect match for your mouth and gums!
Furthermore, the way the scan is carried out couldn’t be much simpler! All you need to do is sit in the dental chair and within seconds you’ll have a full scan of your mouth and teeth. Once this is done, your dentist will examine the scan for any potential issues. For example, this is the point where our expert oral surgeons will check to see if there is sufficient bone available, in order to proceed with implant surgery. Once all has been checked and the scans analysed and approved, implant surgery can then proceed.
FAQ’s
What other benefits does 3D scanning provide?
One other benefit is that a 3D scan is safer than a traditional X-ray. For example, you’re exposed to 70% more radiation when using an X-ray, in comparison to using 3D scanners. This signifies that once again, the patient benefits from the technology we use at Clarendons.
Is 3D scanning painful?
Not at all! This is completely pain-free and you should have nothing to worry about.
