\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

For decades, dental impressions meant trays in the mouth, cold material that hardens, a gag reflex, and an uncomfortable wait. For many patients, it is one of the least pleasant memories of a dental visit. <\/p>\n\n

Today, this step almost no longer exists at Dental Swiss Clinics<\/a>. Here is what has changed. <\/p>\n\n

What a dental impression is<\/h3>\n\n

Before creating a crown, veneer, aligner, or mouthguard, the practitioner must have a precise reproduction of the patient’s teeth. This is the impression, the foundation of any restoration or dental appliance. <\/p>\n\n

Traditionally, this impression was taken using a silicone material poured into a tray, inserted into the mouth, and held in place for several minutes until it hardened. The result was sent to the lab, which poured a plaster model. Several days would pass before the restoration could be manufactured. <\/p>\n\n

What the intraoral scanner changes<\/h3>\n\n

The intraoral scanner completely replaces this procedure. A small, wand-like instrument captures thousands of images per second inside the mouth and reconstructs a 3D model of the teeth on a screen in real time. <\/p>\n\n

No material, no tray, no waiting. The digital impression is completed in just a few minutes, right at the clinic. <\/p>\n\n

At Dental Swiss Clinics, Dr. Zerguine<\/a> uses the 3Shape Trios 5 scanner, one of the most accurate scanners on the market according to independent clinical studies published in 2024.<\/p>\n\n

What patients experience<\/h3>\n\n

For many patients, their first experience with an intraoral scanner is a surprise.<\/p>\n\n

They arrive with memories of silicone impressions: the material in the mouth, the discomfort, and sometimes the gag reflex. They leave with a radically different experience. <\/p>\n\n

No discomfort, no cold material, no waiting. The practitioner passes the scanner over the teeth for a few minutes, and the 3D model appears on the screen in real time. <\/p>\n\n

For anxious patients, this is often a turning point. Reducing sources of discomfort means reducing apprehension. <\/p>\n\n

Precision: what the literature says<\/h3>\n\n

Precision is the most important clinical criterion for a dental impression. An imprecise impression leads to a poorly fitted restoration and complications. <\/p>\n\n

Independent clinical studies published in 2024 rank the Trios 5 among the most precise scanners available. Accuracy values in the range of 37 to 55 microns have been documented\u2014a clinical accuracy superior to what a silicone impression can consistently produce, even in the hands of an experienced practitioner. <\/p>\n\n

This level of precision is particularly important for CEREC crowns, ceramic veneers, and implant-supported crowns.<\/p>\n\n

When Dr. Zerguine still uses silicone impressions<\/h3>\n\n

The vast majority of cases are treated digitally. There are two situations where conventional impressions are still used at Dental Swiss Clinics: full removable dentures and certain repairs to existing removable dentures. <\/p>\n\n

In these specific cases, the conventional technique remains the clinical gold standard. Outside of these indications, the scanner is the go-to solution. <\/p>\n\n

How it changes the workflow<\/h3>\n\n

Digital impressions don’t just change patient comfort; they change the entire clinical workflow. <\/p>\n\n

The 3D file is available immediately, without lab delays<\/a> for a plaster model. It can be used directly for designing the restoration in the software, then sent to the milling machine or 3D printer at the clinic. <\/p>\n\n

This is what makes it possible to create a ceramic crown in a single visit<\/a>, from the digital impression to the final placement, without leaving the clinic.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n\n

Is the intraoral scanner as accurate as a silicone impression?<\/strong> Yes, and in most cases, more accurate. 2024 clinical studies confirm that the Trios 5 produces consistently reliable results, with accuracy in the range of 37 to 55 microns. <\/p>\n\n

Is the procedure long?<\/strong> No. A digital impression of a full arch typically takes 3 to 5 minutes, often faster than a traditional silicone impression.<\/p>\n\n

Does it completely replace silicone impressions?<\/strong> In the vast majority of cases, yes. Certain specific situations, such as full removable dentures, still use the conventional technique when clinically justified. <\/p>\n\n

Is the intraoral scanner suitable for anxious patients?<\/strong> Yes. The lack of material in the mouth and the speed of the procedure make it a particularly suitable option for anxious patients<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Which scanner do you use at Dental Swiss Clinics?<\/strong> The 3Shape Trios 5, one of the most accurate and reliable scanners available according to independent clinical studies published in 2024.<\/p>\n\n
