Why Every Modern Dental Practice Needs Intraoral Scanners

Share This Post

Are you tired of messy impressions and time-consuming remakes? You’re not alone. Many dental professionals are rethinking their workflows, and intraoral scanners are leading the change. These digital tools are reshaping how we capture impressions, communicate with labs, and deliver care, all while making the process more comfortable for patients.

Intraoral dental scanners are more than just a tech trend—they’re a smart investment in speed, accuracy, and modern patient experience. At Next Dental Labs, we’ve embraced this shift, making it easy for you to send digital scans and get high-quality, lab-crafted restorations at prices that help your practice thrive.

Faster, Cleaner, and More Comfortable Impressions

Gone are the days of messy trays and gag-inducing putty. Intraoral scanners allow you to capture a complete digital impression in minutes, without discomfort for the patient. The result is a faster chairside experience and higher patient satisfaction. It’s especially valuable for patients with a strong gag reflex or for pediatric and geriatric care.

Improved Accuracy Means Fewer Remakes

One of the biggest advantages of intraoral scanners is their precision. Digital impressions reduce common issues like distortion, bubbles, or voids found in traditional impressions. Better accuracy means better-fitting crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants, leading to fewer remakes and less time spent on adjustments.

When we receive digital impressions at Next Dental Labs, our CAD/CAM team can get to work immediately. That means faster cases back to your office with minimal chairside corrections needed.

Streamlined Lab Communication

Digital impressions can be uploaded and shared instantly, allowing seamless communication between your office and our lab. This speed and transparency help us spot potential problems early—whether it’s margin clarity, occlusion issues, or prep design—and collaborate with you in real time.

Working digitally with Next Dental Labs makes your entire lab process faster, clearer, and more predictable.

Easy Integration With CAD/CAM Restorations

If you offer same-day restorations or work with CAD/CAM-fabricated prosthetics, intraoral scanners are the foundation of that workflow. Digital files integrate directly into CAD design systems, speeding up fabrication and reducing errors.

Even if you’re not fabricating in-house, digital scans sent to our lab allow us to deliver more precise crowns, nightguards, dentures, and implant restorations with superior fit and esthetics.

Enhances Patient Education and Case Acceptance

Intraoral scanners aren’t just for scanning—they’re great for showing patients exactly what’s going on in their mouths. Real-time 3D imaging helps patients visualize problems, better understand treatment plans, and feel more confident about continuing care.

Elevate Your Workflow with Digital Scanning

The future of dentistry is digital, and intraoral dental scanners are leading the charge. They help reduce errors, increase efficiency, and create a more comfortable experience for everyone involved.

By partnering with Next Dental Labs, you’ll gain the full benefit of working with a digital-friendly lab that knows how to maximize the potential of intraoral scanning, while saving you over 50% on lab costs. Let’s modernize your workflow together.
