Digital Impressions (iTero) in Hartselle & Decatur, AL

Modern Impressions Without the Mess

At Sittason Family Dentistry, we believe dental care should be both precise and comfortable. That’s why we use iTero digital impressions, a cutting-edge alternative to traditional molds. With iTero scanning technology, we can capture highly accurate 3D images of your teeth and gums in minutes—no goopy trays, no discomfort, and no guesswork.

Whether you're preparing for Invisalign, crowns, bridges, or other restorations, digital impressions offer a cleaner, faster, and more reliable solution for designing your custom dental treatments.

Patients from Hartselle, Decatur, Priceville, and surrounding areas benefit from a better fitting result and a much smoother experience every step of the way.

What Are iTero Digital Impressions?

iTero is a handheld intraoral scanner that captures thousands of images per second to create a detailed 3D model of your mouth. Unlike traditional impressions, which require biting into messy putty, digital scanning is non-invasive, quick, and much more precise.

We use iTero scanning during a variety of procedures, including:

• Creating custom-fit dental crowns
• Planning for dental bridges
• Designing Invisalign aligners
• Monitoring tooth movement and bite alignment
• Restoring dental implants
• Evaluating wear from grinding or TMJ issues

iTero technology also integrates with our intra-oral cameras to give you a complete visual understanding of your oral health during your visit.

Benefits of iTero Digital Scanning

Digital impressions offer multiple advantages over traditional mold techniques:

• No Mess: Say goodbye to sticky putty and awkward trays
• Increased Comfort: Ideal for patients with strong gag reflexes or anxiety
• Fast and Accurate: Immediate 3D images with pinpoint detail
• Better Fit: Enhanced precision leads to better-fitting restorations
• Real-Time Visualization: See your treatment plan unfold onscreen

The result? Less chair time, fewer adjustments, and improved outcomes for both cosmetic and restorative treatments.

We often incorporate iTero scans as part of smile makeovers, full and partial dentures, and treatment planning for patients of all ages.

Who Can Benefit from Digital Impressions?

Almost every patient can benefit from iTero scanning technology, including those undergoing:

• Cosmetic dentistry
• Restorative dentistry
• Children’s dentistry for monitoring development
• TMJ therapy and occlusal guard planning

Whether you’re getting a single crown or a complete smile transformation, iTero enhances the process from start to finish.
