iTero® Digital Impression System

Conventional vs Digital Impressions

No more goop, gagging, or discomfort. Using an iTero scanner, your dentist can take a highly accurate digital impression, eliminating the uncomfortable tray and putty impressions. The old technique can be incredibly unpleasant and frequently results in taking multiple rounds of impressions that can be rejected, broken, or misplaced. The iTero scanner ensures a more accurate impression from the start, resulting in improved treatment and a more comfortable patient experience. Digital impressions give you the ability to see your teeth instantly in 3D, improving communication during the consultation and treatment process.

How does it work?

The iTero scanner digitally captures the structure of the teeth and gums using the latest optical technology. The scanner is a compact, hand-held wand. Once your dentist begins the scanning process, it can be stopped and started as many times as necessary.

Your mouth is scanned with a radiation-free laser and, in as little as two to three minutes, the laser renders a digitally perfect, 3D impression of your teeth and soft tissue structures. Through digital software, you’ll then be able to follow the progress of the scans, including a 3D model of your teeth on our computer screen. The iTero scanner can be used for any restorative treatment including crowns, veneers, inlays/onlays, bridges, and implants, as well as orthodontic treatments like Invisalign®.

A Smarter Way to Take Dental Impressions


The iTero® Digital Scanner is a handheld intraoral scanner that captures detailed images of your teeth and gums to create a three dimensional digital model of your smile. In many cases, this digital approach replaces traditional impression trays and putty, making the experience more comfortable while providing clear information for treatment planning.
At Northern Valley Aesthetic Dentistry, Dr. Niki Avianto uses digital impressions when appropriate to support Invisalign®, veneers, crowns, and other restorative or cosmetic treatments. The scan allows her to review your smile from different angles, explain what she sees on screen, and use that information when planning care around your individual dental needs.
