iTero® Digital Scanner
iTero® Digital Scanner No More Goopy Molds
Digital impressions have improved dental care planning. Instead of using thick impression material, we use the iTero® digital intraoral scanner to capture detailed images of your teeth. The process is simple and designed with patient comfort in mind.
At Comeaux & Stonestreet Dental Group, the iTero® intraoral dental scanner is part of our comprehensive approach. Our philosophy is conservative and ethical. We focus on preserving natural teeth whenever possible and making recommendations only after a complete evaluation. We are known for being thorough. A new patient visit typically lasts about 90 minutes.
Necessary imaging, including the iTero® digital impression system and X-rays, along with a full exam, allows us to evaluate your entire mouth. We do not focus on a single tooth. We assess your bite, gum health, existing dental work, and overall oral condition. We also take time to understand you as a person before discussing next steps. High-quality care requires time, attention to detail, and open conversation.

Why Detailed 3D
dental scanning with iTero® Matters
Dentistry involves more than what can be seen during a quick look. Small cracks, shifting teeth, or bite changes can affect long-term oral health. The iTero® dental scanning technology captures high-resolution images that enable us to examine your teeth closely. When combined with X-rays and a comprehensive clinical exam, iTero® digital dental impressions provide a complete understanding of your oral health. This careful process may help:
Identify concerns early
Improve the fit of restorations
Reduce the need for retakes of impressions
Support clear and thoughtful treatment planning
Enhance patient understanding through visual review

Frequently
Asked Questions
What is the iTero® intraoral dental scanner?
The iTero® intraoral dental scanner is a handheld device that captures detailed digital images of your teeth and gums. These images create a 3D model that appears on a screen during your visit.
Are digital dental impressions, iTero®, more comfortable than traditional impressions?
Many patients find digital scanning more comfortable because there is no thick material placed in the mouth. The process is usually quicker and allows you to see the results right away.
Does the iTero® digital impression system replace X-rays?
No. The iTero® digital impression system shows the surfaces of your teeth and your bite, while X-rays show areas below the surface, such as bone and spaces between teeth. Both are important for a full and accurate exam.
Is 3D dental scanning with iTero® only for Invisalign®?
No. While it is often used for Invisalign® planning, it is also helpful for crowns, bridges, and overall treatment planning. It supports a careful and comprehensive approach to dental care.
