3d Scanner for Dental | The Daily work of a Dentist

What is a dental scanner?

A dental scanner is a digital device called an intraoral dental scanner, which allows you to get a three-dimensional imprint of teeth and gums without using masses, spoons or plaster models.

Using light scanning, a 3D model of the oral cavity is formed, which can be instantly viewed, saved and sent to the laboratory. Therefore, it is called a dental 3D scanner.

3D scanner in dentistry - patient comfort

Digital scanning, as a new technology, completely eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional imprints: there is no gag reflex, unpleasant taste or pressure. The patient receives a quick and accurate diagnosis without unnecessary stress.

Accuracy and speed of a dental 3D scanner

A 3D scanner in dentistry works with micron accuracy, allowing you to take an imprint of the full jaw in just 1-2 minutes. Due to this, the number of fittings, corrections and return visits is reduced. The doctor can immediately evaluate the result and, if necessary, scan the desired area.

Efficiency for the doctor

Digital models are conveniently integrated into CAD/CAM systems, stored in the patient's archive, used for Smile Design, 3D printing or diagnostic tests. All this saves the doctor's time and allows for clear treatment planning.

Who is a dental scanner suitable for?

Scanners are used in orthopedics (crowns, veneers, bridges), implantology (imprints with transfers), orthodontics (aligners, mouth guards), therapy (documenting changes) and hygiene (plaque, bite assessment). This is a universal tool for digital practice.

What to consider when choosing a 3D scanner for dentistry?

In addition to speed, accuracy and convenience, you should pay attention to:

• Calibration system. Some models require regular manual calibration, which takes time and requires additional skills. The Helios 500 intraoral 3D scanner has automatic calibration: the scanner automatically adjusts itself every time it is turned on – the doctor always gets an accurate result without any additional actions.
• Licensing and updates. Many brands charge an annual fee for using the software or updating. The Helios 500 scanner has a perpetual free license and lifetime software updates without additional charges – this reduces the cost of ownership for years to come.
• Technical support and warranty. It is important that the supplier provides local service, staff training and a quick response. MDS not only supplies the Helios 500, but also fully supports its implementation in practice.

In addition to the above, this dental scanner combines functions usually only available in premium models:

• High accuracy: excellent reading of preparation edges, suitable for both single restorations and bridges.
• Lightweight body and comfortable shape: does not tire the hand during prolonged use.
• Instant scanning in real time, without freezing.
• Automatic elimination of unnecessary parts: tongue, cheeks, fingers.
• Simple integration with any CAD software (open STL format).
• The best price/features ratio on the market.

Transition to digital is easier than it seems

Modern 3D scanners in dentistry are intuitive to use, and with professional support - use takes only a few days. The doctor quickly adapts, and already in the first cases feels the difference in speed, control and results.
