iTero Digital Scanner – A Modern Alternative to Traditional Impressions

At West LA Dental, we’re proud to offer the iTero digital scanner, a cutting-edge technology that replaces the need for messy, uncomfortable dental impressions. The iTero system uses a small handheld wand to quickly and comfortably capture high-resolution, full-color 3D images of your teeth and gums. In just a few minutes, we generate an accurate digital model of your mouth—no trays, no putty, and no gag reflex.

What is the iTero Scanner Used For?

The iTero scanner plays an essential role in a wide range of dental procedures, including:

  • Invisalign® clear aligners – track progress, simulate treatment outcomes, and ensure a custom fit
  • Crowns, bridges, and veneers – create restorations with better accuracy and faster turnaround
  • Night guards and retainers – deliver better comfort and long-lasting fit
  • Monitoring oral changes over time – compare scans to detect changes in tooth wear, gum recession, and more

Why Patients Love iTero:

  • No goopy impressions – Say goodbye to uncomfortable molds and awkward trays
  • Speed and precision – Digital models are more accurate and ready immediately
  • Better communication – See what your dentist sees with visual on-screen simulations
  • Faster lab turnaround – Because the scans are digital, restorations get to you quicker

This technology is part of our ongoing commitment to providing a seamless, high-quality experience for our patients. Whether you’re starting Invisalign or restoring a tooth, iTero ensures that every step is more comfortable, more efficient, and more precise.
