Digital Impressions

Digital Impressions in Nepean

At Bells Corners Dental Studio, we believe that modern technology should enhance every aspect of your dental care experience — from diagnosis to treatment planning. That’s why we’re proud to offer digital impressions, an advanced alternative to the traditional putty-based method of capturing molds of your teeth. If you’ve ever had to sit through a messy, uncomfortable dental impression in the past, you’ll appreciate just how much easier and faster this innovative approach can be.

What Are Digital Impressions?

Digital impressions use high-resolution 3D scanning technology to create accurate, interactive models of your teeth and gums. Instead of biting into a tray filled with impression material and waiting for it to set, a small handheld scanner is used to take a series of digital images. These images are then compiled by computer software into a detailed model of your mouth — without the mess, discomfort, or guesswork of traditional impressions.

The entire process takes just a few minutes and allows our dental team to review, enlarge, and rotate the 3D images in real time. This leads to more precise treatment planning and better-fitting restorations or appliances.

Why Choose Digital Impressions?

Patients and dental professionals alike prefer digital impressions for a wide variety of reasons:

• Greater Comfort: No more messy impression trays or awkward gagging. The digital scanning wand is small, fast, and non-invasive.
• High Accuracy: Digital images eliminate the possibility of distortions that can occur with traditional impressions, leading to better results for crowns, bridges, Invisalign aligners, and more.
• Time-Saving: Digital scans can be sent directly to dental labs or used with CAD/CAM systems, reducing turnaround time and the need for multiple appointments.
• Eco-Friendly: Since no disposable materials are used, digital impressions are a more sustainable option.
• Easier Communication: Patients can see their 3D scans on the screen, which helps them understand their treatment plan more clearly.

Whether you’re getting a smile makeover or planning for Invisalign, digital impressions improve the process from start to finish. And for patients who’ve searched for dentists in Ottawa offering high-tech care without the discomfort, Bells Corners Dental Studio is proud to deliver.

When Are Digital Impressions Used?

We use digital impressions for a wide range of procedures, including:

• Invisalign® Clear Aligners: A precise digital scan ensures aligners fit comfortably and work effectively throughout your orthodontic treatment.
• Dental Crowns & Bridges: Our 3D scans help create restorations that fit perfectly the first time, reducing the need for adjustments.
• Veneers: Veneers designed with digital models provide a more seamless and natural-looking result.
• Nightguards & Oral Appliances: A well-fitted oral appliance starts with a perfect impression. Digital scans allow for a snug and comfortable fit.
• Smile Makeovers: From whitening trays to full cosmetic makeovers, digital impressions play a key role in achieving predictable, attractive results.

Thanks to our cutting-edge technology, you won’t have to worry about redoing impressions or dealing with uncomfortable materials — just smooth, accurate care from a trusted Nepean dentist.
