Technology in Dental Treatments: A More Comfortable, Faster, and Precise Future with Digital Impressions

Dental technology is evolving every day, offering patients more comfortable, faster, and successful treatment outcomes. Among the most significant advancements is the digital impression system. At Dent Leon, we utilize the latest technologies in digital dentistry to provide the highest quality care for our patients. But what exactly is a digital impression? What are its advantages, and how does it differ from traditional methods? Let’s explore together.

What is a Digital Impression System?

A digital impression system is a modern alternative to traditional dental impression methods. Using specialized intraoral scanners, this system captures the structures inside the mouth in three dimensions. These scanners precisely scan your teeth and oral anatomy, creating an accurate digital model.

Thanks to this technology, there is no longer a need for uncomfortable impression materials that need to stay in the mouth for extended periods to take molds.

Differences Between Traditional and Digital Impressions

Advantages of Digital Impressions

✅ Comfortable Experience
Instead of uncomfortable impression trays, a small camera quickly scans the mouth. This is especially beneficial for patients who experience gagging or have anxiety about impressions.

✅ Faster Results
Digital scans are instantly transferred to a computer and sent to the lab, allowing for much quicker completion of crowns, prosthetics, or aligners.

✅ Greater Precision
Digital impressions can measure down to the micron level, ensuring a perfect fit for prosthetics—offering both aesthetic and functional excellence.

✅ Digital Archiving
Since the patient’s oral structure is stored digitally, it can be easily retrieved for future treatments without needing a new impression.
