Digitization
The blueprint of your new smile begins with Digitization
We design your new smile to fit your whole self – not just your mouth.
What is digitization?
Digitization is a process in which we gather all the unique, one-of-a kind information about your teeth and your mouth.
It includes meticulous detail and measurements which allows us to prepare your treatment and design a smile that is right for you.
We use the most powerful technology and latest methods to capture your individual data with comfort, safety, accuracy and speed.
- Photos
- Video
- X-ray
- Intraoral scan
- Cone Beam CT scan
- Facial scan
- Digital bite analysis
Every edge and angle is captured and saved digitally as part of your records.
Why
digitization?
We build a digital 3D model of your face, mouth and teeth; the foundations to your new smile
We analyze your smile with a video to plan a dynamic design that looks good at every angle
Digital impressions are quick, precise and don’t make you gag
Your smile makeover outcome is guaranteed to be the most esthetic AND the best for your health
