At Mission Dental Group, serving both Los Angeles and Downey, CA, we continually incorporate the latest dental technologies to enhance patient care and comfort. Among these innovations, Digital Impressions stand out as a transformative approach in dentistry, offering a seamless and more comfortable experience for patients.
The Evolution of Dental Impressions
Digital impressions represent a significant leap forward from traditional methods of creating molds for dental work. This advanced technology allows dentists like Dr. Debora Jeong and Won Jung Jeong, with their extensive expertise in general dentistry, to capture highly accurate images of a patient’s mouth. These images are then used to design and create precise dental restorations, orthodontic devices, and more.
Why Choose Digital Impressions?
- Comfort: Eliminates the need for physical molds, which can be uncomfortable and trigger gag reflexes.
- Accuracy: Produces highly accurate and detailed images, reducing the risk of errors in dental restorations.
- Efficiency: Speeds up the process of obtaining impressions and can shorten the overall treatment time.
- Eco-friendly: Reduces waste associated with traditional impression materials.
Your Journey with Digital Impressions
The process begins with your dentists using a small, handheld scanner to take digital photographs of your teeth. This non-invasive procedure is quick and comfortable. The images are then pieced together to create a three-dimensional model of your mouth. This model is used to plan treatments or create dental devices with unmatched precision.
Setting Your Expectations High
When you opt for a treatment involving digital impressions at Mission Dental Group, you can expect a smooth and efficient experience. There will be no messy impression material or discomfort typically associated with traditional impressions. Moreover, you’ll benefit from faster turnaround times for treatments requiring dental appliances or restorations.
