Medit Intraoral Scanner – Sarasota, FL
High-Tech Scanning for High-Quality Treatment
Dr. Tindal prides himself on staying up to date with the latest advances in technology. Before he invests in a device, he thoroughly considers its features and whether it has a track record of success. This careful approach led him to invest in a Medit intraoral scanner. This remarkable device can streamline the treatment process and lead to increased patient comfort. Read the information below to learn how the Medit intraoral scanner may affect your time in our office.
What Is the Medit Intraoral Scanner?
The scanner is a somewhat small, wand-like device. As we move it around the patient’s mouth, it captures countless images and assembles them into an accurate, three-dimensional representation of the patient’s teeth.
The scanner has a number of applications in prosthodontics. For example, it can help Dr. Tindal to:
- Analyze a patient’s bite. Knowing how the teeth fit together is often a key part of designing high-quality dental prosthetics.
- Create digital impressions. Such impressions can be used as the basis for designing crowns, bridges, and other prosthetics.
- Diagnose oral health problems. The scanner is also a high-definition intraoral camera, which Dr. Tindal can use to identify areas of decay and other developing oral health problems.
How You Benefit
There are quite a few dental technology companies out there, and many of them offer intraoral scanners. However, Dr. Tindal decided to invest in the one from Medit because, not only does it equip him to stay at the forefront of his profession, but it also provides direct benefits to patients.
Here are a few examples of how you can experience the Medit advantage:
- No powder required. Some digital impression machines require the teeth to be coated in a special powder. In the vast majority of cases, no powder is required with the Medit scanner, allowing you to have a more comfortable experience in our office.
- Efficient operation. The Medit scanner has a high-definition option, but high-definition scans tend to take longer than standard ones. That is why it is possible for Dr. Tindal to capture high-def images of specific portions of the mouth — the areas that will be subject to treatment. This allows for a faster scanning process.
- Dr. Tindal or a member of our team may share and explain some of the Medit’s images with you to help you gain a deeper understanding of your oral health.
- Low gag risk. The Medit scanner has a small tip, which increases its maneuverability and decreases the chance that patients with a sensitive gag reflex will not be able to tolerate it.
- Digital workflow. The scanner works with advanced Medit Link software, which makes it easy for Dr. Tindal to collaborate with other dental professionals in order to ensure the best possible outcome for your treatment.
The Medit intraoral scanner is just one example of how we prioritize our patients’ comfort and well-being. If you would like to learn more about it, or about anything else regarding our practice, we invite you to contact our team today.
