Restorations: how an intraoral scanner helps you make a better first impression

When it comes to restorative impressions, are you delighted with the results—each and every time? Large labs estimate that 70 to 90% of impressions could be better.¹ And practices lose $900 or more each month due to restoration production inefficiencies.²

So what can you do to assure that your dental impressions are as accurate as possible to eliminate remakes? Now is the ideal time to consider digital impressioning with the Primescan™ intraoral scanner.

Primescan for predictable outcomes

“In dentistry everything is about predictability,” says Dr. Cary Brown, DDS, of StarWhite Dental in Murrieta, CA. “Using Primescan and the Connect Case Center, we can transmit our cases quickly to the laboratory. They can review our cases, give us instant feedback, and this all makes for a very predictable workflow.”

Here’s another statistic to consider: based on more than 150,000 intraoral dental scans in the U.S. in 2020, Primescan delivered a 98.83% success rate.

“Primescan allows us to have greater speed and efficiency,” says Dr. Brown. “I feel like the accuracy is top-notch. And I have all the confidence in the world to do nearly any case with the Primescan.”

Not a radical move, but a critical one

With the Primescan intraoral dental scanner, optimum results help ensure an ideal fit for any restoration or appliance. Plus, digital models are less prone to errors than analog casts. And no courier can be as fast as a digital data transfer. Every Primescan intraoral scanner includes software for a preferred partner or laboratory for safe, secure transmission of data to support your practice.

Digital impressions can boost precision and efficiency in other workflows as well, including implants and clear aligners. Plus, it puts you on the path to single-visit dentistry. By adding the Primescan intraoral scanner to your practice, you open the door to a host of digital dentistry possibilities.

Practices that make the switch to digital impressions with the Primescan intraoral scanner never look back. “I can't see myself practicing without Primescan technology,” says Dr. Brown. “It's too convenient, it's too predictable, and it just makes our practice and our life much easier.”
