Digital Scanner Provides Enhanced Precision, Comfort, and Convenience
"Digital Dentistry" Comes to Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA -- August 18, 2008 -- The Pennsylvania Center for Dental Excellence today announced the addition to its practice a revolutionary new tool in the quest for better smiles -- the Cadent iTero(tm) Digital Impression System.
Designed to replace the "dreaded goop", unpleasant taste, drooling, and gagging associated with traditional impression taking, iTero enables PCDE to offer their patients a technology driven impression procedure that is far superior to conventional methods. By using a hand-held wand to optically scan the area to be restored, the patients' entire impression is created 100% digitally with no mess or bad taste. This translates into a more comfortable impression process and restorations that look and feel like natural teeth.
iTero eliminates weaknesses in the impression process, such as voids, pulls, and tears. With a precise starting point, dentists are able to create digitally accurate restorations.
"Once patients experience the benefits of iTero we are certain they will come away impressed, and with a great smile to boot," adds Dr. Leonard Tau.
