That’s why we use advanced digital impressions at our Palm Harbor and Trinity locations. Say goodbye to traditional goopy molds and hello to a cleaner, faster, and more precise way to capture the details of your teeth and gums.
Whether you’re getting a crown, Invisalign, veneers, or a dental implant, digital impressions help us provide better-fitting restorations and a smoother experience overall. It's just one of the many ways we bring cutting-edge dental technology to our patients across the Tampa Bay area.
Digital impressions are high-resolution, 3D scans of your mouth taken with an intraoral scanner. Instead of using a tray filled with impression material, we gently move a small handheld wand around your mouth to capture detailed images. These images are then stitched together to form a complete digital model of your teeth and bite.
The process is quick, comfortable, and highly accurate. There’s no mess, no gagging, and no need to retake impressions because of errors or distortions. Best of all, your digital scans are instantly available for viewing, sharing, and treatment planning.
We’ve integrated digital scanning technology into many of our restorative and cosmetic dental procedures, and for good reason. Here’s how our patients benefit:
Digital impressions are used in a wide variety of dental treatments at our Palm Harbor and Trinity offices, including:
By incorporating digital impressions into our workflow, we’re able to provide more consistent results and a higher level of care—especially in procedures where accuracy is critical.
Here’s what happens when you come in for a procedure that involves digital impressions:
One of our trained dental professionals will use a small wand-like device to scan your teeth and gums. The scanner captures thousands of images per second to create a complete digital model. Most scans take just a few minutes.
Once your scan is complete, we’ll display the 3D image on a screen. We can rotate, zoom, and examine the model from every angle. If we need to re-scan a specific area, we can do it on the spot—no need to start over.
Your scan is securely sent to our lab or imported into advanced treatment planning software, depending on your procedure. For restorations, the lab uses this scan to fabricate a custom piece that fits your mouth perfectly.
Because the digital model is so precise, your crown, bridge, or aligner will likely need fewer adjustments. You’ll receive a better fit, and in many cases, fewer visits are needed to complete your treatment.
Technology is changing the way dentistry is delivered, and at Prestige Dentistry, we’re committed to staying at the forefront. Digital impressions are just one example of how we continue to modernize care for our patients in Palm Harbor and Trinity.
