THE DIGITAL IMPRESSION PROCESS

Step 1: Scanning – An orthodontic Assistant scanned your teeth using the intraoral scanner. This scanner creates a 3D digital image on the computer. It is refined by taking a series of pictures to obtain the exact shape and contour of your teeth and gums. This can be used to create orthodontic appliances or to make clear aligners.

Step 2: Immediate Visualization – Teeth models can be seen immediately in real-time, allowing for quick feedback for the patient and parent consultation.

Step 3: Digital Impression Review – The 3D digital impression is reviewed to formulate a treatment plan.

Step 4: Aligner Patients – With this accurate and environment-friendly technology, we are able to produce better-fitting clear aligners in a short time.

One of the most significant developments in dentistry is the advent of laser technology in the profession.

With the help of the diode laser, Drs. Lockhart are able to perform frenectomies, exposure of erupting teeth, re-contouring of gums after braces, and crown lengthening. The soft tissue laser eliminates the need for stitches while providing amplified precision and better results after healing.

Drs. Lockhart proudly offer this technology at our office to our dear clients.
