iTero System: Fast and Accurate Digital Impressions at Atlanta Dental Solutions

We are excited to be using iTero, a new, completely digital system for taking tooth impressions for restorative dental work. If you have ever had any restorative work done in the past, you may remember the conventional technique, which involves impression paste and trays. The old process takes longer, and is less precise than our new iTero system.

Digital impressions with our iTero system are taken using laser and optical scanning to capture a digital copy of the shape and contours of your teeth. With this information, we can then send the data to a laboratory for processing, and to fabricate a custom restoration. We now use the iTero system for all our fixed restorations, including crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, inlays and onlays.

Implant Dentistry - A Long Term Solution to Tooth Loss at Atlanta Dental Solutions

Back in November, the New York Times published an article discussing the long term benefits of dental implants over bridges for tooth replacement. Check it out by clicking here.

Keep in mind that although implants can be a very effective solution to tooth loss, the process is a more involved one, and therefore need to be completed in stages.

We at Atlanta Dental Solutions are able to provide dental implants as part of a smile makeover, and the entire process can take anywhere from 3-6 months. While implants are a great long term solution for many patients, those with serious gum or jawbone deficiencies, osteoporosis, or uncontrolled diabetes may not be able to support a long-term implant.

Call us today at 404-496-5535 and schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation with us to discuss your implant options. You can also visit our web site to see before and after photos of our smile makeovers and rate your own smile!
