iTero® Intraoral Scanner in San Francisco
Say goodbye to messy impression putty. At Financial District Dentistry, our iTero® digital scanner captures a precise 3D model of your teeth and bite in minutes, making everything from Invisalign® planning to restorative treatment faster and more comfortable.
What Is the iTero® Intraoral Scanner?
The iTero® scanner is a digital device that creates a detailed 3D model of your teeth and bite without the need for traditional putty impressions. It’s used for digital impressions, Invisalign® planning, restorative treatment planning, and patient education, and unlike dental X-rays, it doesn’t use any radiation.
How iTero® Helps With Invisalign®
For patients considering Invisalign®, the iTero® scanner can generate a simulated preview of how your smile could look after treatment, helping you visualize your results before you even begin. The scan also creates the precise digital model used to design your custom aligners.
iTero® vs. Traditional Impressions
Traditional impressions require biting into a tray of putty and holding still while it sets — a process many patients find uncomfortable. iTero® scanning replaces that with a quick, non-invasive digital scan that’s typically faster and more comfortable, while also providing a more precise, reviewable 3D model.
What to Expect During Your Scan
iTero® scanning is non-invasive, doesn’t require numbing, and is generally more comfortable than traditional trays. Our team simply guides a small wand around your teeth to capture the digital model, which you can view together on screen right after your scan.
Uses Beyond Invisalign®
iTero® scans also support planning for crowns, bridges, veneers, and implant restorations, and can help visualize your bite and smile for treatment planning purposes.
