An iTero® intraoral scanner is a device used to take images or videos of the inside of your mouth. Its special design allows dental professionals to easily capture images or videos of the most hard to reach areas.
While mirrors and digital X-ray images can give you an idea of what is going on, generating images and videos with an iTero® intraoral scanner is a fast, safe, and easy way to get a closer and more detailed look of areas inside your mouth. We have found that our patients at Turquoise Dental appreciate being able to review pictures and videos to get a better look at the areas that we are discussing.
