What advantage does a digital impression system have over traditional methods?

A digital impression system offers significant advantages over traditional methods, primarily in terms of accuracy and turnaround times for restorations. The digital technology utilizes advanced imaging techniques to capture highly detailed and precise impressions of the teeth and surrounding structures. This not only minimizes the chances of distortion or errors that can occur with conventional impression materials but also enables the dentist to provide more accurate restorations.

Additionally, because digital impressions can be transmitted electronically to dental laboratories, the process for creating restorations is often expedited. This leads to faster production times, reducing the overall wait for patients and enhancing workflow efficiency in the practice. In sum, the integration of digital impression systems significantly streamlines the process and enhances the quality of dental work being delivered.
