What Is a Digital Intraoral Scanner?

A digital intraoral scanner is a small, handheld wand that captures thousands of images per second to create a precise, full-color 3D model of your teeth and gums. This digital impression replaces traditional putty impressions, which many patients find uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing.

At Clayton Dental Studio in Humble, TX, our intraoral scanner is a cornerstone of our digital dentistry workflow — enabling same-day crowns, precise aligner fabrication, and accurate treatment planning. We serve patients throughout Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood, Spring, and Houston.

How Digital Scanning Works

Wand Placement

The small scanning wand is gently moved around your mouth, capturing images of your teeth and gums from multiple angles.

Real-Time 3D Model

As the scan progresses, a full-color 3D model of your teeth appears on our screen in real time — you can see exactly what we see.

Instant Digital Impression

The completed scan serves as a precise digital impression that can be sent to our in-office milling system or a dental lab instantly.
