Digital Scanning
Dr Bobo is now offering digital scanning to assist you and your dentist in the final restoration of your dental implants. An intraoral digital scanner is a device that captures a direct impression of teeth and implants in your mouth. It is a painless process that replaces traditional molds/ impression materials.
Once your implant is completely healed, Dr Bobo’s staff will scan your teeth and the implant. That digital image is sent directly to the dental lab who then makes the abutment and crown and sends to your dentist. You then return to your restorative dentist who will place the crown on the implant.
Digital scanning saves appointment time for you, is painless to perform, takes away the need to make molds of your mouth, and is a very accurate method for creating the new crown for your implant.
