Digital Impressions in Longwood, Florida
What are Digital Impressions?
Remember those putty impressions of yesteryear? Traditional dental impressions often involved a tray filled with gooey putty that had to be placed in your mouth. This method was not only messy, but also uncomfortable. Many patients struggled with the putty triggering their gag reflex, making the experience unpleasant, to say the least. The taste was not much better and for some patients this process was inconvenient and sometimes even stressful.
At Springs Family Dentistry, we utilize the latest CADCAM technology and have replaced the putty impressions with digital impressions. Using a wand-shaped camera connected to a computer with advanced software, we can create a digital, virtual model of your teeth with relative ease. Digital impressions offer several benefits: better accuracy, improved patient comfort, quicker turnaround for treatment, and better communication with our patients.
