Intraoral Scanner - Itero Element®

The human mouth is typically designed to accommodate 28 teeth, not 32. When wisdom teeth begin to emerge, there often isn't enough room because all available spaces are already occupied. As a result, 9 out of 10 people need to have their wisdom teeth removed due to impaction. Even if wisdom teeth erupt correctly, they are more susceptible to infections and can potentially lead to the formation of cysts or tumors.

Say Farewell to Messy Dental Impressions!

The iTero® Element Intraoral Scanner provides a precise and comfortable impression-taking experience. Utilizing cutting-edge optical scanning technology, this innovative device captures detailed images of your teeth and bite using a compact, ergonomic wand.

As the first hybrid dental imaging system, it can simultaneously capture 3D, intraoral color, and NIRI images, minimizing the need for multiple devices and repetitive sterilization. Furthermore, the iTero TimeLapse technology enables patients to view side-by-side comparisons for diagnostic, restorative, or cosmetic purposes, enriching the overall experience.

After dentist recommends wisdom teeth extraction, what's next?

CONSULT

STEP 1
STEP 2

RECORDS

Your dentist will take a series of records, including dental x-rays, 3D scans, and photographs. These records will be used to create a treatment plan and to fabricate your dental implants.

PRE-SURGICAL CONSULT

This appointment is held before the surgery to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the recovery process. You will also have a chance to ask any questions you may have.
STEP 3
STEP 4

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.
STEP 5
STEP 6

HEALING

The implants will need to heal for 4-6 months before the next step can be taken. Dr. Bally will also provide a night guard to help prevent excess pressure from going to your implants. As you heal you will remain on a soft diet.

PROTOTYPING AND VERIFICATION

Once the implants have healed, your dentist will create a final prototype of your dental bridge. This prototype will be verified to ensure that it is the correct size, shape, and color. Before authorizing the fabrication of your new zirconia implant smile.
