Wellness Scan

What are wellness scans?

Wellness scans represent a comprehensive assessment of dental health, leveraging digital technology to construct a detailed 3D depiction of a patient’s teeth, gums, and bite. Beneficial for every patient, whether addressing specific concerns or undergoing routine checkups, these scans elevate appointments with their capacity to formulate treatment plans, establish precise digital records, visualize outcomes, and facilitate ongoing monitoring. Consequently, they empower dental practices to transcend conventional single-tooth approaches and foster holistic oral care.

How do wellness scans work?

Utilizing an intraoral scanner, resembling a small wand, the scan swiftly captures a patient’s oral cavity through the emission and capture of harmless light, generating thousands of images in a fraction of a second. Subsequently, the scanner's data seamlessly integrates into software, crafting a manipulable 3D model showcased on a nearby monitor. In a remarkably brief timeframe, both practitioners and patients gain access to a meticulously accurate and enduring representation of the entire oral landscape.

Why would a practice want to perform dental wellness scans?

Enhanced Efficiency

The transition to fully digitized information streamlines access to records, enabling instantaneous retrieval and effortless transfer at the push of a button. Moreover, the simplicity of scans permits trained staff members to conduct them, thereby reducing appointment durations and enabling focused attention on essential tasks. Embracing intraoral scans also eradicates the need for conventional dental impressions, allowing for more frequent monitoring and liberating valuable office space previously allocated for plaster models.
