If you've ever needed a crown or a bridge in the past, you likely remember the most uncomfortable part: the "putty" impression. Biting down on a tray full of cold, gooey material for several minutes can trigger a gag reflex and feel quite unpleasant.
At Crown Dental Group, we believe dental care should be comfortable and high-tech. That’s why we’ve replaced messy putty with advanced digital dental impressions.
How Digital Scanning Works
Instead of using goopy material, we use a small, handheld wand (an intraoral scanner). We gently move the wand around your mouth, and it captures thousands of images per second. These images are instantly stitched together to create a highly accurate 3D digital model of your teeth on a computer screen.
Why Patients Love Digital Impressions
Maximum Comfort: No more gagging or messy cleanup.
Better Accuracy: Digital scans are much more precise than manual molds, leading to a better fit for your same-day crown.
Faster Results: We can send your digital files to our in-house milling machine or a lab instantly, speeding up your treatment time.
Experience the future of dentistry. Call Crown Dental Group in National City to see how our digital technology makes your visit easier than ever!
