🦷 Traditional Impressions vs. Digital Scanning – What’s the Difference?
One of the exciting skills our students learn at Dental Careers Institute is how to capture accurate records of a patient’s teeth—and there are two ways to do it!
Traditional Dental Impressions:
This method uses impression trays filled with a specialized material that creates a mold of the patient’s teeth and gums. While it’s a time-tested technique, it requires precision, proper tray selection, and patient comfort throughout the process.
Digital Intraoral Scanning:
Using advanced digital technology, an intraoral scanner captures thousands of images to create a highly accurate 3D model of the patient’s mouth. It’s faster, more comfortable for patients, and allows dentists and labs to begin treatment planning almost immediately.
✨ At Dental Careers Institute, our students gain hands-on experience with both traditional impressions and the latest digital scanning technology. Learning both methods prepares our graduates to confidently step into any modern dental practice.
Your future in dentistry starts with mastering the skills that make smiles possible!
