INTRAORAL SCANNERS
One of our routine procedures performed during your six-month dental check-up is oral cancer screening. The intraoral scanners are excellent in assisting us with oral cancer examinations and other types of intraoral examinations. In fact, at Northwest Family Dental Care, we use two types of intraoral scanners, and each has its own specific purpose.
- CEREC, which stands for ceramic reconstruction, is a machine that allows us to design custom dental appliances like dental bridges, crown, onlays, and inlays. The CEREC technology has increased the time and efficiency of fabricating restorative devices.
- iTero is an intraoral scanner that allows, among other things, the immediate assessment of orthodontic progress. It is especially useful in assisting with the Invisalign process.
