Advanced Dental Care with Your Comfort in Mind
At Haagwinde Dental Clinic we incorporate the latest technologies to ensure both optimal care and maximum comfort. One great example is our use of digital impressions: a modern, highly accurate, and more pleasant alternative to the traditional “molds”.
From Messy Molds to Simple Scanning
In the past, taking a dental impression meant biting into a tray filled with thick, cold material—an experience many patients found unpleasant, often triggering a gag reflex. The process was time-consuming and prone to small inaccuracies, such as air bubbles or shifts in the material. Sometimes, this meant starting over, resulting in extra visits and unnecessary inconvenience.
The Benefits of Digital Impressions
With digital technology, these issues are a thing of the past. A compact handheld scanner now captures a precise 3D image of your teeth in just minutes. There’s no need to sit with a mouthful of impression material—just a quick, simple scan. What’s more, the accuracy of digital impressions ensures dental restorations—such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic aligners—fit perfectly.
Faster, More Efficient Treatment
Another major advantage of digital impressions is speed. Digital files are available immediately and can be sent directly to our dental lab in seconds. This accelerates the entire process, often reducing the waiting time between appointments.
A More Sustainable Approach
Digital impressions also support a more eco-friendly way of working. There’s no need for physical models to be stored or transported, reducing waste and environmental impact. This aligns with our broader vision of sustainable, future-focused dental care.
