What is digital dentistry and when is it needed?
Digital dentistry is the set of tools that let us see, measure and plan your mouth precisely before starting any treatment: mainly the 3D intraoral scanner and digital X-rays.
The intraoral scanner generates an exact three-dimensional model of your teeth and gums in a few minutes, without the traditional silicone impressions. Digital X-rays, for their part, show what cannot be seen with the naked eye: roots, bone and possible internal infections, with a lower radiation dose than conventional X-rays.
It is not a treatment in itself, but the foundation of all the others: it is used in the first assessment for an implant, in planning orthodontics, in designing a smile before fitting veneers, or in any diagnosis that needs precision.
It is recommended whenever you want to start any dental treatment with real, objective information about your mouth rather than a visual estimate. The more precise the initial diagnosis, the more predictable the final result.
How we do it at Arango Dental Clinic
In Benidorm, every initial assessment at Arango Dental Clinic starts with a 3D intraoral scan, whatever treatment you are considering. That digital model lets us explain clearly what we see in your mouth, instead of describing it only in words.
When the case requires it, we complement the scan with a digital X-ray to see the condition of the roots and bone. With all that information we design the treatment plan before touching a single tooth, and explain it calmly so you understand each step.
This is the same technology that underpins our dental implant treatment and all the clinic's other treatments: not an isolated tool, but the starting point for everything we do.
The process, step by step
01 3D intraoral scan
A digital scanner passes over your mouth and generates an exact 3D model of your teeth and gums, without the need for silicone impressions.
02 Digital diagnosis
With the 3D model and, if needed, a digital X-ray, we analyse the condition of your teeth, gums and bite in detail.
03 Digital treatment plan
Based on the diagnosis, we design the treatment plan on the digital model, before touching a single tooth.
04 Presenting the plan
We show you the plan and, where possible, a simulation of how the result would look, so you can decide with all the information.
05 Applying it to the chosen treatment
That same digital information guides the actual treatment, whether it is an implant, orthodontics, a veneer or any other service at the clinic.
Price
We do not charge for the 3D scan or the digital diagnosis as a separate service: they are part of the initial assessment for any treatment, which is free. The cost you will see corresponds to the treatment you decide to have after that assessment, not to the technology itself.
We prefer to be clear about this: the quote for any treatment is finalised after seeing your 3D scan or digital X-ray and deciding together on the plan to follow, at your free initial assessment without obligation, so you know exactly what you need, what you will pay and why.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 3D intraoral scanner?
It is a device that passes a small camera around your mouth and generates an exact digital model of your teeth and gums in a few minutes, without the traditional silicone impressions that many patients find uncomfortable.
Does the 3D scan replace the dental X-ray?
No, they are complementary tools. The 3D scan captures the outer shape of your teeth and gums; the digital X-ray shows what is beneath: roots, bone and possible internal infections. We use one or the other, or both, depending on what your diagnosis needs.
Is digital scanning uncomfortable?
It should not be. The scanner is a small handpiece that glides gently around the mouth, without the taste or feel of traditional silicone impressions. Most patients find it more comfortable and quicker.
Which treatments is digital dentistry used for?
It is used as the basis of practically all our treatments: implants, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, oral rehabilitation and also general diagnosis. It is the tool that lets us plan precisely before we intervene.
Does digital dentistry reduce the number of visits?
In many cases it does, because diagnosis and planning are quicker and more precise from the start, which reduces surprises during treatment. The exact number of visits still depends on the treatment and on each case.
Does the digital technology cost extra?
We do not charge for the 3D scan or digital diagnosis as a separate service: they are part of the initial assessment for any treatment. The cost you see is that of the treatment itself, not of the tool we use to plan it.
Are digital X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays use a considerably lower radiation dose than traditional X-rays, and they are only taken when they provide information needed for your diagnosis.
