Technologies in dentistry have undergone great progress viewing to offer a better experience to clients and facilitate the work of the dentist. One such equipment is the intraoral scanner, which is now used by the team of Dentistry at Hospital da Luz Clínica de Cerveira in multiple procedures - namely, the preparation of orthodontic devices for children and adults, dental prostheses, dental veneers and crowns, and the planning of implant surgeries, among others. “The intraoral scanner is one of the greatest advances of recent years in the area. It is an electronic device that enables to create within minutes, in a precise and comfortable way, a three-dimensional digital copy of the oral cavity anatomical structures”, explains the dentist Bruno Pacheco , specialist in implantology and oral rehabilitation. Among the advantages in the use of the intraoral scanner, we highlight: More comfortable and faster to print images of gums and teeth; Does not require the use of a dental impression tray, sometimes causing discomfort and malaise; Provides thorough records, since it allows the visualization of difficult-to-access areas in the mouth. With the intraoral scanner, the entire process is digital, which reduces the time necessary to produce a prosthesis or crown (since all the information gathered is promptly communicated to the laboratory). Storage is also digital, which is much more convenient than the physical storage of moulds. Schedule your appointments via MY LUZ or at hospitaldaluz.pt/cerveira
