iTero® Digital Scanner in Spring, TX
Comfortable,
Detailed Digital Impressions
Dental impressions are part of many restorative and orthodontic procedures. They help guide the design of crowns, Invisalign®, night guards, and other dental appliances. The iTero® digital intraoral scanner allows us to capture detailed images of your teeth without traditional impression trays.
At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group, in Spring, TX, we provide comprehensive dental care for patients in Spring and The Woodlands. Technology supports diagnosis, but it does not replace a complete examination.
Our new patient visit typically lasts about 90 minutes. During that time, we take necessary digital X-rays and perform a full-mouth evaluation. We do not focus on a single tooth alone. We assess your overall oral condition before discussing treatment options. The iTero® digital impression system is one of the tools we may use to gather detailed visual information as part of that process.

Why Digital
Scanning Matters
Accurate records are important in dentistry. When planning treatment, we evaluate tooth shape, alignment, spacing, and bite function. Digital dental impressions with iTero® provide a three-dimensional image that can be reviewed immediately during your visit. However, scanning alone does not determine treatment. We combine 3D dental scanning with iTero® with X-rays, a clinical exam, and a discussion of your medical and dental history. Careful diagnosis helps guide responsible recommendations. Factors that may influence long-term dental health include:
Delaying recommended care
Gum disease
Tooth wear or grinding
Bite imbalance
Oral hygiene habits
Irregular dental visits

Frequently
Asked Questions
Is the iTero® digital intraoral scanner safe?
Yes. The scanner uses light to capture images of your teeth. It does not expose patients to radiation and is commonly used in dental offices.
How long does scanning take?
Most scans take several minutes. If you are a new patient, scanning may be completed during your comprehensive visit.
Are digital dental impressions, iTero®, different from traditional impressions?
Digital impressions create a three-dimensional image rather than a physical mold. Both methods are used in dentistry, and your dentist will determine which is appropriate for your situation.
Can I see the images during the scan?
Yes. The images appear on a screen in real time. We review them together so you can better understand your oral condition.
