The revolutionary Cadent iTero™ system is a digital scanner that greatly enhances the accuracy of dental impressions. Before digital imaging, patients needing impressions to fit a dental restoration had to endure bulky trays of thick impression gel. Taking conventional impressions, or moulds, was an uncomfortable and frustrating process which sometimes produced flawed results and necessitated a second round of impressions. But the new iTero™ scanning technique is beneficial to both the dentist and patient, by producing fast, virtually perfect results.

Dr. Neely uses the iTero™ system to optically scan the teeth and bite when patients need to be fitted for a crown or bridge. The images are then transferred to the Cadent lab, and used to craft a model of the restoration. Because the images are so accurate, the need for multiple office visits to obtain adequate impressions is completely eliminated. Patients are pleased with the ease of the process and how well their restorations fit.
