The Dental Technology That’s Changing Smiles in Rocklin
Overview
Discover how Sun-Park Dental’s iTero® 3D scanner transforms your dental visits with precision, comfort, and faster results.
Have you ever seen your dentist wave a small wand around your mouth and wondered, “What is that?” That’s no magic trick—it’s the iTero 3D scanner, and it’s completely changing how we design smiles at Sun-Park Dental in Rocklin. This state-of-the-art technology is especially powerful for Invisalign® treatment planning. Learn more about our Invisalign process and how iTero makes it possible.
The Old Way vs. The New Way
Not too long ago, getting impressions for Invisalign®, crowns, or night guards meant biting into a tray full of thick, goopy material—and then waiting while it hardened. If it didn’t capture your teeth perfectly, you’d have to do it again.
With the iTero scanner, the process is faster, cleaner, and far more comfortable.
How It Works
- A small handheld wand takes thousands of images of your teeth in seconds.
- Advanced software stitches these images into a detailed, 3D model of your mouth.
- We use that model to plan your treatment—whether it’s Invisalign, a same-day crown, or a custom night guard.
It’s safe, quick, and completely non-invasive.
Why It Matters for Patients
- Comfort First – No more gagging or jaw fatigue from messy impressions.
- Pinpoint Accuracy – The 3D model captures every curve and contour for a perfect fit.
- Faster Results – Accurate scans mean your treatment can start sooner.
Better Communication – See exactly what we see on-screen so you understand your treatment plan.
Real-World Impact
One patient, Michael, came in for a same-day crown. With the iTero scanner, we captured his tooth in seconds, sent the file directly to our CEREC® milling machine, and he left with his permanent crown in under two hours—no temporary crown, no second appointment.
