Our office uses iTero® digital scanning to view three-dimensional images of the inside of your mouth. iTero digital imaging is a state-of-the-art technology that captures high-quality images of your teeth and supporting structures, making it easy for our dentist and team to diagnose problems and provide effective treatments. The iTero scanner captures up to 20 images per second in full color, allowing us to easily distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue, build accurate digital models of your mouth, and create appliances and restorations that fit and function better. iTero technology can even simulate your treatment outcome to show you what your end result should look like!

When our dentist or hygiene team scan your mouth, a small wand will be used to quickly and comfortably scan the inside of your mouth. As the wand passes over your teeth, the images captured will be processed simultaneously to provide an immediate, complete and highly accurate image of your mouth. The pictures are even saved automatically every few seconds, so there is no need for you to sit through a second scan.

Frequently Asked Questions About iTero Digital Scanning in Woodinville

What is the iTero digital scanner?

The iTero Element scanner is a state-of-the-art intraoral scanning system that creates precise, three-dimensional digital models of your teeth and bite — no messy putty impressions required. At Oasis Family Dentistry, we use the iTero scanner for treatment planning, clear aligner therapy, and fabricating custom dental restorations.

How does the iTero digital scan work?

The iTero scanner uses a small wand that glides comfortably around your mouth while capturing thousands of images per second, instantly stitching them together into an accurate 3D digital model of your teeth. The process is quick, comfortable, and completely replaces traditional impression trays.

Is the iTero scan comfortable?

Yes. The iTero scan is one of the most comfortable diagnostic experiences we offer at Oasis Family Dentistry. There is no impression material to gag on, no waiting for material to set, and no messy cleanup. The wand simply glides gently around your mouth while capturing detailed images.

What is the iTero scanner used for at Oasis Family Dentistry?

We use the iTero digital scanner for clear aligner therapy treatment planning, fabricating crowns, bridges, and other restorations, as well as for creating custom night guards and sports mouth guards. Digital scans improve the fit and accuracy of all of these appliances.

How accurate is the iTero scan compared to traditional impressions?

The iTero scanner provides significantly greater precision than traditional putty impressions. Digital models eliminate common impression errors like bubbles, distortion, and material inconsistencies — resulting in restorations and appliances that fit better from the very first try and reducing the need for adjustments.

Can the iTero scanner show me what my smile could look like after treatment?

Yes. The iTero scanner’s Outcome Simulator allows patients to preview how their smile might look after clear aligner therapy before committing to treatment. This interactive feature helps you visualize your potential results and feel confident in your decision to proceed.

Does the iTero scan involve radiation?

No. The iTero digital scanner uses optical light, not X-ray radiation, to capture images. It is completely safe for all patients, including children and pregnant women. Digital X-rays are a separate tool and are only taken when clinically indicated.
