586-739-0550A clear plan starts with clear information. iTero® digital scanners help create detailed digital impressions of your teeth and bite without the mess that many patients associate with traditional molds. These scans support more precise planning, better communication and a smoother overall experience. At Eberhard Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, our dentist and team use iTero digital scanners in Utica, Michigan, to help patients feel informed and confident about their care. Dr. David Eberhard uses digital scanning as part of a modern approach that values comfort, efficiency and accuracy.
Digital scanning captures a precise view of your teeth in real time. The images appear on a screen during your visit, which means you can see what we see. Many patients appreciate how this improves understanding and reduces uncertainty. It can also support stronger consistency in records over time, especially when tracking changes, monitoring progress or planning future care.
What To Expect From Our Approach
Your visit begins with a conversation about your goals and any concerns you have about your smile. Our dentist will explain why a scan is being recommended and how the information will be used. The scanning process is typically quick and comfortable. A small handheld wand is moved around the teeth to capture images, and our team guides you step by step.
We focus on a calm, supportive experience. If you have a sensitive gag reflex or feel anxious about dental procedures, digital scanning can feel easier than traditional impressions. We also take time to explain what the scan shows and what it may mean for your next steps. You will leave with a clearer understanding of your smile and your options. You can expect:
- A comfortable scan without messy impression materials
- Real-time visuals that make it easier to understand recommendations
- Digital records that support accurate planning and follow-up
- A modern, streamlined experience designed to respect your time
