What Is a 3D Intraoral Scanner?

A 3D intraoral scanner is a handheld device that captures detailed, high-resolution digital images of the inside of your mouth. These images are stitched together in real-time to create a complete 3D model of your teeth, bite, and oral tissues. The process is fast, non-invasive, and eliminates the need for uncomfortable impression trays and putty.

The scanner is ideal for a wide range of treatments, from crowns and bridges to orthodontic planning, dental implants, and night guards.

What is it used for?

3D intraoral scanning is used for:

  • Restorative treatments – Crowns, bridges, veneers, and onlays
  • Orthodontics – Clear aligner therapy and treatment planning
  • Implant dentistry – Accurate scanning for guided implant placement
  • Custom appliances – Night guards, retainers, and sleep therapy devices
  • Digital recordkeeping – Baseline scans for monitoring changes in oral health over time

With greater accuracy and patient comfort, 3D scanning supports nearly every facet of modern dental care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 3D intraoral scan uncomfortable?

Not at all! Most patients find it far more comfortable than traditional impressions. There's no gagging, no trays, and the scanner is small and easy to tolerate.

A full scan usually takes just 2–5 minutes, depending on the complexity of the treatment and the number of teeth involved.

The digital model is used to create your restoration or appliance. It’s also saved in your records for future reference or monitoring changes in your oral health.
