iTero 3D Scanner

Here at Northern Shores Dental Group, we are proud to offer our patients innovative technology. Introducing the Itero Element Plus Intraoral Scanner – the leading technology in digital dentistry. We want patients to know that they are being treated to the best that dentistry has to offer.

This powerful scanner takes hundreds of photographs per second to produce a 3-Dimensional model of your teeth that is extremely accurate. It is extremely comfortable and 100% painless, with no harmful side effects. These scans serve as an alternative to the traditional impressions with the uncomfortable trays and mouthfuls of putty material.

Our Itero scanner is used for many procedures. We take scans of teeth when making crowns, which ensures the best fitting and most comfortable porcelain crowns. Our hygienists will take periodic scans at your cleaning appointments at no charge. The powerful software allows us to compare your teeth from one scan to the next, allowing us to track things like tooth wear, gum recession, and shifting teeth.

For Invisalign, the Itero scanner allows us to offer a completely digital experience from start to finish. This is the only scanner that provides instant Invisalign simulations, where we can show our patients what their smile will look like with the push of a button instead of waiting for weeks. The scanner ensures that your Invisalign aligners and retainers fit perfectly and allows us to make them faster than if we took impressions.

We process all of our removable appliances, including bite guards, whitening trays, sleep appliances, TMJ appliances, partials, and dentures using our scanner. We are able to create the best-fitting and most comfortable appliances using this technology.
