An oral scan is a modern digital imaging technique in dentistry used to produce detailed 3D images of the patient’s oral cavity. This technology can be used to take digital impressions of teeth, gums and other parts of the oral cavity without the need for a traditional plaster cast.
Oral scans have many advantages over traditional methods. It gives a more accurate and detailed picture, is faster and more comfortable for the patient, as it avoids the often unpleasant process of having a plaster cast taken. In addition, the digital data is immediately available and can be easily shared with other professionals or used to create customised dental restorations such as crowns and braces.
An oral scan is usually needed when an accurate and detailed picture of the patient’s oral cavity is required. It has a wide range of applications, including orthodontics, implant design, crown and bridge fabrication, as well as diagnostic purposes such as assessing the condition of teeth and identifying oral diseases. At Trendo Dental, oral scanning is always part of the assessment at the dental office.
During an oral scan, a small, hand-held device (scanner) is passed through the patient’s oral cavity. This device captures a meticulous 3D image of the teeth and gums. The process is quick and comfortable, usually taking only a few minutes. The data is recorded in digital format, which can then be used by the dentist or dental technician for further treatment and dental procedures.
Oral scans cannot be performed in cases where the patient is unable to remain still during the scan or if they have severe oral injuries that prevent the scanning device from moving freely in the mouth. In addition, if the patient has a very strong pharyngeal reflex, this may also prevent the scan from being performed successfully.
The price of an oral scan at Trendo Dental dental practice is: for one dental arch 14 000 HUF, for two dental arches 24 000 HUF.
Yes, the oral scan is completely safe. It does not use ionising radiation like some other imaging procedures, so there is no radiation exposure to worry about.
No special preparation is usually required for oral scanning.
The oral scan is processed in a short time, the scanned area is continuously displayed on the monitor during the scan, so a 3D model of the scanned oral cavity is created very quickly.
Oral scanning is usually quick and comfortable and causes no pain. Patients simply feel a small, hand-held device in their mouth, which passes over the teeth and gums while taking digital images
The oral scanning process is usually very quiet, with almost no noise, so patients are not usually disturbed.
Yes, the dentist will be happy to show you the results of the scan and explain what information he or she has obtained. This gives you the opportunity to better understand your own dental condition and the treatments you are planning.
If you experience any problems after an oral scan, such as pain or discomfort, tell your dentist immediately.
Oral scanning has no upper or lower age limit, so it can be performed at any age. However, for very young children or those who have difficulty tolerating oral scans, it is recommended that you consult your dentist.
Oral scanning can be particularly beneficial for children, as it is quick and convenient, does not require lengthy sessions and avoids the inconvenience of traditional impression taking. It is particularly useful when planning orthodontic treatment as it helps the dentist to accurately monitor the growth and positioning of teeth.
Oral scanning is an excellent alternative for those who are allergic or sensitive to traditional impression-taking materials. Because this technology produces digital images, there is no need to use any chemical or rubber-based substances, minimising the risk of allergic reactions during the impression-taking process.
