Digital Dental Scanning

At Shoreline Dental Studio, every smile starts with a complete picture. That’s why we use digital scanning technology – including the advanced iTero scanner – to capture a high-resolution, 3D view of your teeth and gums. It’s fast, comfortable, and incredibly precise.

Modern Dental Scanning for Accurate Treatment Planning

The days of goopy, uncomfortable impressions are over. Our intraoral scanners make it easy to visualize your oral health in real time – no trays, no mess. Whether you’re planning cosmetic work, orthodontic treatment, or routine care, digital scanning gives us the clearest starting point.

Here’s what you can expect with your Digital Dental Health Scan at Shoreline:

Real-Time, High-Resolution Images

Our digital scanner captures a detailed 3D model of your teeth, gums, and bite alignment – all in just a few minutes. These images are displayed instantly, helping you understand your dental health with clarity and confidence.

No radiation or discomfort
See exactly what we see
Easier to track changes over time

Better Accuracy = Better Results

Because the scans are so precise, we can plan treatments with extreme accuracy – from Invisalign and veneers to restorative options like crowns, bridges, and implants.

“Best dental experience ever! Everyone is so sweet, caring and incredibly knowledgeable and confident. I was super nervous about going to dentist after not having gone for awhile but as soon as stepped into the studio I felt like I was in good, loving hands and had nothing to worry about! Everyone is so great about creating a calm and friendly experience:) Dr. Livingston is the best!”

“It’s a friendly, welcoming and stress free environment. From the candle in the reception area to the windows in the treatment rooms looking out on a garden, it feels very non-dentist like, which is actually a good thing. They addressed the issue I had come in for and didn’t try to upsell me on other unnecessary treatments. I actually found a dentist’s office that I like!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a digital dental scan?

A digital dental scan uses an intraoral scanner to create a 3D image of your teeth and gums. It replaces traditional impressions and provides detailed information for treatment planning.

Is a digital scan uncomfortable?

Not at all. The digital scanner is a small wand that moves gently across your teeth. It’s quick, non-invasive, and free from radiation.

How long does the scan take?

Most digital scans take just 5–10 minutes. You’ll be able to see the results in less than 5 minutes on the screen – and we’ll walk you through them together.

Is the iTero scanner used at both Shoreline locations?

Yes – we use the iTero scanner and other modern imaging tools at both our San Clemente and Mission Viejo offices.

Is it safe for kids and older adults?

Absolutely. Since there’s no radiation involved, it’s safe and comfortable for all ages – including children, seniors, and patients with sensitive teeth or gag reflexes.
