The Three Benefits of Digital Impressions and 3D Imaging
Posted on August 13th, 2025
At White Spruce Dental, we’re committed to providing you with the most comfortable, accurate, and advanced dental care available. One of the ways we achieve this is by using digital impressions and 3D imaging to get a precise and detailed look at your teeth, gums, and jaw.
Gone are the days of messy molds, uncomfortable bite trays, and long wait times for results. Our advanced technology uses digital scanners and high-resolution imaging to create detailed 3D models of your mouth, and we can do it in just minutes!
Digital impressions use a small, handheld scanner that captures high-definition images of your teeth and gums. These images are then transformed into a 3D model of your mouth, allowing us to see every curve, contour, and space with pinpoint accuracy.
3D imaging, often called cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), takes detailed images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, which offer only a flat, two-dimensional view, 3D imaging gives us a complete picture, almost like stepping inside your smile.
Why Patients Prefer Digital Impressions & 3D Imaging
At White Spruce Dental, we recommend these technologies because they provide:
Unmatched accuracy – Allows for precise treatment planning, whether for crowns, implants, bite evaluation, or orthodontics.
More comfortable – No messy molds; quick, clean, and comfortable, even for sensitive patients.
Lower radiation – Uses less radiation than traditional X-rays for safer imaging.
Faster results – Digital files are ready instantly for immediate review and planning.
Digital impressions and 3D imaging help us give you better, faster, and more comfortable dental care. By seeing your mouth in 3D detail, we can spot problems earlier, design treatments with greater precision, and deliver results you’ll love, all while keeping you comfortable in the chair.
