Digital Impressions in Sandy Springs
Impressions are required before moving forward with most dental treatments. A replica of the teeth’s current status is necessary before beginning Invisalign®️ (clear braces), crown or veneer treatment, and implant restoration placement. We’re committed to providing the best dental experience for patients seeking treatment in the metro Atlanta area, which includes getting rid of liquid impressions whenever possible!

The Itero™️ digital impression system provides comfort and ease for the patient and the clinician while obtaining preliminary impressions. In addition to providing a more comfortable experience to the patient, the digital impression software allows our dentists in Sandy Springs and our staff to simulate or model exactly how new restorations or orthodontic changes will appear in your mouth.
