Our newest equipment iTero® Element™ is the latest technology available to perform intraoral scanning eliminating the mess and unpleasantness associated with traditional impressions. Our patients will now experience a “gag-free” procedure.
Introducing iTero® Element™
Dietrich Dental has become a Digital 3-D Impression dental clinic.
Forget Goop, Gagging or Discomfort
This new digital procedure creates a highly accurate digital impression for your veneer, crown or bridge area, and completely eliminates the old uncomfortable tray and putty impression. Additionally it guarantees the perfect fit for your new veneer, crown, bridge or Invisalign treatment. Now you will spend less time at our office and more time doing other things that you love.
Are you concerned about pain or discomfort?
No more! Patients say that iTero scans are more comfortable and less time consuming than the old conventional impression method. Now there is no need to use the messy putty that usually cause gagging. Also we don’t need to wait for the material to capture the impression. With iTero the average scan will take around 3 to 5 minutes to be completed.
Better precision on the impression
The iTero Elemtent digital impression is much more accurate than a old conventional impression and as a result, less adjustments are needed and in most cases not even needed.
We use iTero® Element™ to show you the outcome of your Invisalign treatment. As the equipment is certified by Invisalign, they both work well together to help our patients visualize how their teeth may look at the end of Invisalign treatment.
Some of the benefits of this combination include:
- Faster setup and less waiting time for you
- Ten times less rejections on Invisalign manufacturing
- Accurate simulated outcomes for patients
- Better overall patient experience
- Accelerates turnaround time of your aligners
