Introducing the iTero Lumina™
What is the iTero Lumina™?
The iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner is a cutting-edge digital scanning device that captures detailed 3D images of your teeth and gums. Unlike traditional dental impressions (which use messy putty trays), the iTero Lumina uses a small handheld wand to scan your mouth quickly, comfortably, and with incredible precision.
Benefits
- No messy impressions
- Faster, more comfortable appointments
- Improved accuracy for crowns, bridges, and aligners
- Clear visualization of your treatment plan
Whether you’re receiving Invisalign, a crown, or routine care, our digital scanning technology helps ensure a smoother, more efficient experience.
Intra-Oral Imaging
What is an Intra-Oral Camera?
An intra-oral camera is used by dental professionals to take close-up images of the teeth, gums and other areas inside the mouth.
Why is it needed?
Unlike most cameras that take photos of a wider area, an intra-oral camera focuses on taking photos of a specific area only. They are designed to be used in the mouth and can be properly sterilized to meet infection control protocols.
They allow your dental professional to take a detailed photo of the tooth’s morphology, areas of decay, the condition of dental fillings and more. These cameras also include lights to properly illuminate all areas of the mouth for a better diagnostic image.
Benefits of Intra-Oral Cameras
With the close-up images taken by the intra-oral camera, it is easier for patients to see and understand why certain treatment is needed. Your dentist can easily show an area of dental decay that is located on a tooth that is in the back of your mouth with an intra-oral photo.
Dentistry at the Kingsway has secondary monitors that are used to display dental x-rays and intra-oral photos of important areas in your mouth. Many patients are better able to understand and see changes in their oral health with these visuals.
