New Upgrade – CEREC Primescan
What is CEREC Prime Scan?
CEREC stands for “Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.” CEREC Primescan is the latest technology of the CEREC scanner, a small, hand-held camera that scans a patient’s mouth and produces optical impressions of the tooth.
How does CEREC Primescan work?
The Primescan is a new digital scanner that uses a camera to develop details and crisp 3D images of your mouth. CEREC Primescan is one of the most accurate interoral scanners in digital dentistry with technology that has a smart pixel sensor that processes scans 1.5 million 3D data points per second. The speed allows you to scan the full jaw (Upper, Lower, Buccal) in less that 60 seconds.
What is CEREC Primescan used for?
The Primescan catches accurate scans for crowns, bridges, prosthetics, splints, implant preparation and surgical guides and it connects to the CEREC software and the CEREC Primemail or 3D printer for in-house production. It also helps us provide accurate diagnoses and develop treatment plans for conditions like:
- Cavities and decay (helping you avoid a root canal)
- Small fractures and cracks in the teeth
