iTero Scanner

Digital 3D scanning that's fast, comfortable and incredibly accurate. No more gooey impressions - just cutting-edge technology for better results.

Used for all our treatments
What Is It?

Digital Impressions, Perfected

The iTero Element is the world's leading intraoral scanner. It uses a small wand with a camera to capture thousands of images per second, building a precise 3D model of your teeth in real-time.

This replaces the old method of taking impressions with gooey putty that many patients found uncomfortable. Digital scanning is faster, more accurate and much more pleasant.

Outcome Simulator

One of the best features? We can show you a simulation of your potential smile transformation right there on screen - before you even start treatment. It's a great way to visualise your goals.
