DIGITAL IMPRESSIONS
See if it Fits Your Practice Needs and if so, Purchase as Soon as You Can Afford it
Are these devices making better impressions than the popular polyvinylsiloxanes or polyethers? In our own studies (and those of others), the answer is YES! However, for somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000, are they appropriate for your practice at this time? Almost all of the users of the CEREC (Sirona Dental Systems), E4D (D4D Technologies), iTero (Cadent), or Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (C.O.S) (3M ESPE), are very satisfied with the digital impression concept and its effectiveness. Further advancements are coming constantly. We predict that some form of this concept will gradually dominate the impression marketplace. How long that will require is unknown, but we predict between 5 and 10 years.
