Modern Dentistry with Digital Precision
The Panda 3D intraoral scanner is a state-of-the-art digital impression system that captures a highly detailed, three-dimensional model of your teeth and gums in just a few minutes. The small, pen-like scanner wand is moved gently around your mouth — creating an accurate digital replica that is immediately visible on screen and usable for planning and fabrication.
Traditional dental impressions use putty-like material that must be held in the mouth for several minutes — often causing discomfort and a gag reflex, particularly in anxious patients or those with a sensitive gag reflex. Digital scanning eliminates this entirely, making the experience far more comfortable for patients of all ages.
The accuracy of digital impressions significantly improves the fit and quality of dental restorations, orthodontic aligners and sleep appliances. Fewer adjustments are needed, treatment proceeds faster, and the overall result is superior. Digital models are also stored securely for future reference, enabling precise monitoring of changes to your teeth over time.
What We Offer
Orthodontic Aligner Treatment
3D scanning produces the precise digital model needed to plan orthodontic treatment, fabricate custom aligners and generate treatment simulations showing your expected result.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
Digital impressions for crowns, bridges and other fixed restorations improve fit accuracy, reduce chair time and eliminate the discomfort of traditional putty impressions.
Inlays, Onlays & Veneers
Ceramic and composite laboratory restorations fabricated from digital models are more precisely fitted, requiring fewer adjustments and delivering superior long-term outcomes.
Night Guards & Splints
Occlusal splints and night guards fabricated from digital models fit more accurately, are more comfortable and have better long-term retention than those made from traditional impressions.
Treatment Planning & Simulation
The 3D digital model allows dentists to plan cosmetic and restorative treatment virtually before any changes are made to your teeth — improving predictability and outcomes.
Patient Education
Seeing a real-time 3D model of your own teeth on screen helps you understand dental conditions, proposed treatments and expected outcomes far more clearly than verbal explanations alone.
