Say Goodbye to Putty Impressions
Many patients dread the traditional process of taking dental impressions, which often involves sitting with a tray full of cold, messy putty in their mouth for several minutes. Fortunately, modern dentistry has evolved. Intraoral scanners have completely changed this experience, offering a digital alternative that is not only faster and cleaner but also significantly more comfortable, ensuring that your dental visits are much more pleasant than they once were.
At Dr. Amit Sharma Super Speciality Dental Hospital, we have adopted this advanced technology because it aligns with our commitment to patient comfort and clinical precision. The scanner uses a small wand to capture a precise 3D image of your teeth in just a few minutes. It is a completely non-invasive process that makes your visit to our Jaipur facility a seamless and modern experience from start to finish.
Precision and Accuracy
Beyond just comfort, the primary benefit of an intraoral scanner is its incredible accuracy. Traditional impressions can sometimes be distorted by material shrinkage or movement, which can lead to poorly fitting crowns or bridges. A digital scan, however, is highly detailed and does not distort, meaning that every restoration we design and fabricate for you is built on a perfectly accurate 3D model, ensuring a superior, natural-feeling fit.
This level of precision is especially vital for complex treatments like multi-unit bridges or implant-supported restorations, where a perfect fit is essential for long-term health and function. By getting the measurements right the first time, we reduce the need for repeat appointments, saving you time and ensuring you leave our hospital with the highest quality, most durable dental work possible. Speak with our team to learn more.
Instant Visualisation and Education
One of the best aspects of intraoral scanning is the instant visibility it provides. As we scan your teeth, a highly detailed 3D image appears on the screen in real time. We can show you exactly what your teeth look like, helping us explain any issues like decay, wear, or alignment concerns in a way that is easy to understand. This visual feedback makes it easier for you to be informed about your oral health.
This immediate digital feedback is a powerful tool for patient education, fostering greater transparency and trust during your consultation. You are no longer just looking at abstract charts; you are seeing your own dental anatomy on screen, making the proposed treatment plans feel clear, relevant, and well-justified. If you have questions about your scan, our team is always happy to guide you through the images and answer any concerns.
Streamlining Your Treatment Process
Intraoral scanning also streamlines your entire treatment process. Once the scan is complete, the digital file is instantly ready to be sent to our dental lab for the design of your custom-made appliances. This eliminates the delay associated with shipping physical models and speeds up the production time of your crowns or aligners. It is a more efficient approach that gets you back to your routine with your finished treatment much faster.
We focus on creating a seamless experience for you. By reducing the steps in the workflow and using digital integration, we save you valuable time. If you are planning for a specific procedure or just curious about the technology we use in our practice, please feel free to ask. We are committed to providing you with the most efficient, high-quality care, and our scanner is a key part of that.

Questions patients ask us
- Is an intraoral scan uncomfortable?
- No, an intraoral scan is quick, clean, and completely non-invasive. You simply sit comfortably while the dentist uses a small handheld scanner to capture a 3D digital model of your teeth. It is far more comfortable than traditional putty impressions, which can be messy and take longer to set in your mouth.
- Why is a scan more accurate than a mould?
- Traditional moulds can sometimes distort or shrink as the material sets, leading to potential inaccuracies in your dental restorations. A digital scan is incredibly precise, capturing every detail of your teeth and gums without any distortion, which ensures that your crowns, bridges, or aligners fit perfectly and feel completely natural.
- How long does a digital scan take?
- The scanning process is very quick and typically takes only a few minutes to capture a complete 3D model of your mouth. Because it is all digital, we can use the data immediately to plan your treatment, which helps to speed up the overall design and production of any required dental restorations.
- Can I see the scan of my own teeth?
- Absolutely. One of the best benefits of digital scanning is that we can display the high-detail 3D image on a screen in real time. We can show you your teeth and explain our findings directly, helping you understand your dental health better and making you a partner in your treatment planning process.
