Intraoral Scanner (IOS) in Regina
A More Comfortable Way to Capture Your Smile
If you’ve ever had traditional dental impressions, you probably remember the trays of alginate material. The IOS replaces all of that with quick, mess-free scans that are more accurate and more comfortable.
Our IOS captures a high-resolution 3D model of your teeth and gums in just a few minutes. The process is simple, and there’s no discomfort or gagging. It’s an essential tool for planning Invisalign treatment, creating crowns and bridges, designing custom appliances like night guards or retainers and planning surgical guides for the placement of dental implants.
What We Use IOS For
Invisalign treatment planning and progress tracking
Digital impressions for crowns, bridges, and veneers
Designing night guards, retainers, and sports mouth guards
Monitoring bite changes over time
Co-diagnosing and reviewing images with patients in real time
Planning surgical guides for the placement of dental implants
The detailed scan allows us to show you exactly what we’re seeing which makes conversations about your care easier and more collaborative.
What To Expect
We’ll gently move a small wand around your teeth and gums as it captures thousands of images per second. The scanner builds a full 3D model of your mouth, visible on-screen right away. Most scans take just 2–3 minutes, and you can breathe and swallow normally throughout.
