Dental impressions often play a big role in patient care. At a general dentist’s office, they are used to create things like crowns, veneers, and clear aligners. At our specialty practice, where we focus on treating sleep apnea and TMJ disorder, they help us to design custom appliances for our patients. To make the process of capturing and using impressions as easy and efficient as possible, we have invested in a digital scanner. This blog post talks more about this remarkable tool.
