iTero Digital Impressions – Ann Arbor, MI

What is iTero Digital Impressions?

Impressions are necessary to create restorations and oral devices that are customized to meet your specific needs. Traditionally, this requires you to hold a messy, foul-tasting impression material in your mouth for several minutes. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it can be painful for people who have severely damaged teeth or disorders of the temporomandibular joint. Although traditional impressions are effective, there can be errors that can lead to untimely delays in your treatment plan.

iTero digital impressions resolve the disadvantages of the traditional method. You won’t need to hold an impression material in your mouth. Instead, a small scanner captures images of your mouth in a matter of minutes. The scanner is radiation-free and painless to ensure your safety and comfort. In just 2-3 minutes, Dr. Olden will have a 3D impression that can be viewed on a large screen and manipulated to see every detail.

The information integrates with elite software to create personalized restorations and treatments. This innovative technology is commonly used when creating:

• Dental implants
• Crowns
• Veneers
• Bridges
• Retainers
• Orthodontics

Benefits of iTero Digital Impressions

The iTero digital impression system streamlines your dental care because you don’t need to wait for your impressions to set or be sent to an off-site dental lab. It allows Dr. Olsen to provide many same-day services, like crowns and bridges; however, it can also be used along with other treatments as well, like Invisalign in Ann Arbor.

• Improved accuracy for personalized treatments
