An intraoral scanner captures a precise 3D digital model of your teeth and gums using a small, handheld wand. No messy impressions, no gagging, no waiting for molds to set. At Magnolia Dental Arts, Dr. Traci Espinosa uses digital scanning technology to make every diagnostic, restorative, and treatment-planning appointment faster, more accurate, and significantly more comfortable for patients in Southport.
Traditional impressions are uncomfortable, time-consuming, and prone to inaccuracy. Intraoral scanning solves all three problems at once. Dr. Espinosa uses the resulting high-definition digital models to improve the precision of every restoration, aligner, and treatment plan that follows. At Magnolia Dental Arts, better technology works to improve both comfort and outcomes.
Our intraoral scanner replaces traditional putty impressions entirely, capturing a detailed 3D model of your teeth in just a few minutes. These digital files are used for crowns, aligners, nightguards, retainers, and more.
Digital scans give Dr. Espinosa a highly precise view of existing tooth structure and surrounding anatomy, enabling more accurate crown, onlay, and bridge designs that fit better and last longer from the first placement.
Intraoral scanning produces the foundational records needed for clear aligner therapy, providing a fast, highly accurate, and far more comfortable alternative to conventional orthodontic impressions for adult patients.
Sequential digital scans allow Dr. Espinosa to track changes in your dentition over time, identifying developing concerns early and giving you a clear visual record of your oral health progress at every stage of care.
