How Does the Digital Impression Procedure Work?

Nov 07, 2015

Long gone are the days of relying on traditional dentistry methods, tools and technology to take impressions for your patients’ restorations. Now, digital dentistry is streamlining the digital impression procedure from start to finish.

With SunDigital Solutions, you’ll have access to a fully-digital workflow, which ultimately improves the entire impression procedure for you and your patients. Learn how the digital impression procedure works below.

Step 1: Intraoral Scanning

Taking digital impressions with the SunDigital Dentistry Solution starts with the CS 3500 Intraoral Scanner. This sophisticated technology makes taking high-quality impressions simple. By using an innovative light guidance system, you can easily acquire images with virtually automatic bite registration. What’s best, the CS 3500 Intraoral Scanner removes the need for traditional impression materials, which saves you time and money, and creates a more comfortable experience for your patients.

Step 2: Digital Communication

Following the scan, you will connect your scanner to your SunDigital laptop and upload the scan to the SunCloud app. This will allow you to send your scans directly to the lab so the manufacturing process can begin. Once your scan is uploaded, you’ll be able to view your case files anytime, anywhere and from any device. Even better, you can communicate directly with Sun Dental from either the SunCloud app or your laptop.

Step 3: Digital Manufacturing

Once your patient’s impressions have been scanned and sent to the lab, the manufacturing process can begin. Using leading-edge CAD/CAM and 3D printing technologies, your patients’ restorations are designed and manufactured.

Step 4: Delivery

Your patient’s digital impressions have been created, meaning the most exciting step is here…delivery! Unlike the traditional impressions procedure which can take up to three weeks before the final product is delivered, the SunDigital Dentistry Solution takes just five days. We achieve this through our streamlined digital workflow, which eliminates traditional turnaround time and increases your profit margins as a result.

Testimonials

"Sun Dental Labs has been producing SunCeram® zirconia crowns and bridges for my patients for some time which are more esthetic looking than the traditional zirconia crowns that appear chalky and unnatural. They are strong enough that they can be used not just in the anterior but the posterior area as well. Sun Ceram zirconia crowns are quality restorations at a competitive price."

– Joseph R. Craig, DDS

"I am starting to work in a new dental office with cases of SunClear® aligners and want to thank Dr. Torres because he has been very helpful to me. I always write him about any doubts, and he responds almost immediately and clarifies them. He helps me with case planning, gives suggestions and always considers my interests a priority in order to achieve the goal I want for each patient. Thanks to the help and excellent disposition of Dr. Torres and Sun Dental Labs I have been able to carry out my first cases successfully. "

– Nadyan M Vargas Barreto DDS

"I have been using SunClear® aligners for about 6 months now and am so impressed with the quality of the product and the readily available staff to answer any of my needs. The best part is their online portal that makes it so easy to treatment plan your cases for review and approve. As a provider of other competing clear aligner products for many years the prices have become a large problem and with the low price offered by SunClear®, we were able to lower our Ortho fees to accommodate so many more patients and change their smiles with the same ease and quality as the more expensive companies.
