The iTero® digital scanner is an advanced intraoral imaging device that creates detailed 3D models of your teeth and bite in real time. At Family Dental Care, our dentists and team use the iTero digital scanner in Mountain Home, Idaho, to support accurate diagnosis, precise treatment planning and better patient experience across a wide range of dental services.
Technology Designed for Accuracy and Comfort
Unlike traditional impression methods that use trays and materials to capture the shape of your teeth, the iTero scanner uses optical technology to produce highly detailed digital scans. Our dentists and team use a small, handheld wand that captures thousands of images per second. These are compiled into a complete, interactive 3D model that can be viewed instantly on a chairside screen.
This process improves clinical precision and eliminates many of the discomforts associated with physical impressions. Patients do not have to deal with messy materials, gag reflex triggers or long wait times while molds set. Scanning typically takes just a few minutes and provides a more efficient workflow from evaluation to treatment. The digital scan is stored securely and can be reused or referenced at future appointments. This makes it easier to track changes in tooth alignment, wear or treatment progress over time.
