Digital Impressions in Lilburn, GA
Say goodbye to messy impression trays. At Serene Smiles Dentistry in Lilburn, we use advanced digital scanning technology to capture accurate impressions of your teeth quickly and comfortably. Digital impressions mean better-fitting restorations, less chair time, and a more pleasant experience overall.
What Are Digital Impressions?
Digital impressions use an intraoral scanner to create a precise 3D map of your teeth and gums. A small wand is passed over your teeth, capturing thousands of images per second that are assembled into a detailed digital model. This replaces the traditional method of biting into messy, uncomfortable putty trays.
Benefits for You
Digital impressions are faster, more comfortable, and more accurate than traditional molds. There is no gagging from bulky trays, no unpleasant taste, and no waiting for materials to set. The digital file can be used immediately to plan crowns, bridges, aligners, and other restorations with exceptional precision.
How We Use Digital Scans
Our digital scanning technology supports a wide range of treatments, including same-day crowns, clear aligner therapy, bridges, and implant planning. The detailed 3D model allows Dr. Gessling to visualize your treatment plan and communicate it clearly with you before any work begins.
Cost and Insurance
Digital impressions are included as part of your treatment procedure (crowns, aligners, bridges) and are not billed separately. The cost is covered within the overall treatment fee, which is typically covered by PPO dental insurance. We accept CareCredit and Cherry for any remaining costs.
