Among the foremost scanning technologies today, the iTero Element 2 digital scanner eliminates the need for messy impressions by providing a much more accurate and comfortable digital impression of your teeth and gums.

By utilizing this advanced approach, our team can capture dental impressions faster and in a way that is far more comfortable for your family.

iTero digital scanning has transformed the way dental impressions and treatment planning are performed by replacing messy traditional molds with a faster, more comfortable, highly precise digital process. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, iTero allows our team to capture detailed images of the teeth and gums in real time for improved accuracy and a smoother patient experience overall. Some of the most valuable benefits of iTero digital scanning include:

• No messy impression material
• More comfortable experience
• Highly detailed digital imaging
• Improved treatment precision
• Faster scanning process
• Better Invisalign® planning
• Enhanced patient visualization
• Reduced need for retakes

Because scans appear instantly on screen, patients are also able to better understand their smile, treatment recommendations, and expected results in a more interactive and engaging way.

We use our iTero handheld digital scanner to take impressions of your mouth for completing restorative care, such as if you need to treat a damaged tooth with a custom crown or replace missing teeth with a bridge or dental implants. Safe for patients of all ages, iTero impressions are also taken to prepare for orthodontic treatment with Invisalign or to fabricate a post-orthodontic Invisalign Vivera retainer. iTero is a revolutionary system that allows you to skip the hassle and time of uncomfortable, messy dental impressions and enjoy more accurate treatment results.

Using our iTero Element 2 intraoral scanner, we will take a comfortable optical and laser intraoral scan (impression) of your mouth, which will allow us to custom-design and fabricate your restoration or Invisalign trays for a highly precise fit. Our team will place the intraoral scanning wand in your mouth between the upper and lower arches, which will quickly capture a detailed view of your teeth and gums. This information will be transmitted to our computer system, generating a high-definition 3D model of your mouth. Unlike traditional dental impressions, you can breathe normally, stop to sneeze if necessary, or pause to ask a question during the iTero digital impression process. Impressions taken with iTero intraoral scanners enable our partner lab to customize dental restorations and clear aligners or retainers with greater precision and detail, offering a better fit and treatment outcome.

Once your digital impressions are complete and the 3D model of your teeth has been generated in our computer system, our team will review your scans and treatment plan with you. When taking iTero impressions for restorative care or Invisalign services, we can modify your scans to give you an idea of how your smile will appear once your treatment is complete. After iTero scans are taken, our team will forward these impressions to our partner lab for the fabrication of custom restorations or Invisalign appliances. Your digital impressions will also be stored in your patient record within our system and referenced by Doctors Caron, Kenney, and Russell as needed to complete your care.

How long does an iTero scan take?

The iTero scanning process is quick and efficient. Our team in Tupelo, MS, can capture a detailed 3D model of your mouth in just a few minutes, significantly faster than traditional impressions. This means less time in the chair for you and your family.

Is the iTero scanning process uncomfortable?

No, the iTero scanning process at Tupelo Smiles is very comfortable. Unlike traditional impressions that can be messy and cause gagging, the iTero scanner is a small wand that our team gently moves around your mouth. You can even breathe normally during the process.

Are iTero digital impressions safe for everyone?

Yes, iTero digital impressions are safe for patients of all ages. The non-invasive nature of the scanner makes it a much more pleasant experience for patients compared to traditional impression methods. Dr. Caron, Dr. Kenney, and Dr. Russell ensure a comfortable and quick scan for everyone.
