The End of Messy Molds: Why We Use 3D Digital Scanning

For decades, getting a dental crown or orthodontic treatment meant sitting with a mouthful of cold, goopy “impression material” for minutes at a time. At One Dental Place Fresno, we believe our patients deserve a more comfortable and accurate experience. That is why we have invested in the Carestream 3D intraoral scanner—a revolutionary tool that changes how we view your smile.

What is a 3D Intraoral Scanner?

The Carestream 3D scanner is a small, handheld wand that captures thousands of high-definition images of your teeth in seconds. Our team simply glides the wand over your teeth to create a perfect, 3D digital map of your mouth on a computer screen in real-time.

The Benefits of Digital Dentistry

Choosing a modern office with 3D technology offers several key advantages for your care:

  • Ultimate Comfort: There is no gagging or discomfort because we have completely eliminated the need for messy trays and putty.
  • Superior Accuracy: Digital scans are 100% accurate, ensuring that your Clear Aligners, bridges, or crowns fit perfectly the first time.
  • Faster Results: We can instantly send your digital files to our lab or use them for 3D printing, significantly reducing the waiting time for your restorations.
  • Better Education: You can see exactly what the doctor sees on our monitors, allowing us to explain your treatment plan with total transparency.

Precision Technology for Your Best Smile

Whether you are interested in Clear Aligners for a straighter smile or need a durable dental implant, our 3D scanning technology ensures the best possible outcome. We are proud to bring this level of advanced clinical care to our Fresno community at our North Chestnut Ave location.
