Digital impression is a modern dental technology that has revolutionized the way dentists take impressions of patients' teeth. In the past, dentists used to take impressions of teeth using a putty-like material that was placed in the patient's mouth. This process was often uncomfortable and time-consuming, and the results were not always accurate. However, with digital impression technology, dentists can now take accurate and detailed impressions of teeth using a handheld wand that captures images of the teeth and gums. The images are then processed by specialized software to create a 3D model of the patient's teeth, which can be used to create custom dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and veneers.

1. What is a digital impression and how is it different from traditional impressions?
A digital impression is a modern technique used by family dentists to create a 3D image of a patient's teeth and gums using a digital scanner. Unlike traditional impressions, which involve using a putty-like material to create a mold of the teeth, digital impressions are faster, more accurate, and more comfortable for patients.
2. Is a digital impression safe and reliable?
Yes, digital impressions are safe and reliable. They are highly accurate and provide a detailed image of the teeth and gums, which allows the dentist to create a precise treatment plan. Digital impressions also eliminate the risk of errors that can occur with traditional impressions, such as distortion or air bubbles in the mold.
3. What are the benefits of getting a digital impression?
There are several benefits of getting a digital impression, including:
- Faster and more comfortable process for patients
