Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about our 5D digital dental scan. If you’d like to know more, our friendly team is here to help.

What is a 5D digital dental scan?

A 5D digital dental scan uses advanced imaging to create a highly detailed view of your teeth and gums. It supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for both general and cosmetic dentistry.

Is the scan uncomfortable or invasive?

Not at all. The iTero Intraoral Scanner uses a small handheld wand to gently scan your mouth. It's quick, clean, and avoids the need for traditional impressions.

How long does a digital dental scan take?

Most scans are completed in just a few minutes. Your clinician will guide you through the process and ensure your comfort throughout.

Will I see the results straight away?

Yes. The digital images are available immediately, so your dentist can review the results and discuss any next steps with you during the same visit.

Is a 5D scan safe for everyone?

Yes. 5D digital scans are safe for most patients, including children. They use light-based imaging rather than radiation, unlike traditional X-rays.

The Process

Pre-Treatment

Before your scan, we’ll ask a few health-related questions and clearly explain the process. No preparation is needed - just arrive as you are.

Treatment

During the scan, your clinician will gently move the handheld iTero Intraoral Scanner around your mouth. It captures thousands of images per second to create a detailed model.

Post-Treatment

After the scan, your dentist will review the images with you. You’ll be able to see exactly what they see, helping you better understand any recommended treatments.

Sides Effects & Risks

Digital dental scans are non-invasive and carry minimal risk. Some patients may experience mild jaw fatigue from holding their mouth open briefly, but this typically passes quickly.

Don’t delay diagnosis or treatment
