iTero Element and iTero Lumina Technology at My Dentist For Life

At My Dentist For Life, we are committed to providing modern, comfortable, and highly precise dental care. One of the most important advancements in dentistry today is digital intraoral scanning. Instead of using traditional impression trays filled with uncomfortable material, we use advanced digital technology to create accurate three dimensional images of your teeth and gums.

For years, the iTero Element scanner has helped transform the patient experience. Now, the newest generation, the iTero Lumina system, takes digital scanning to an even higher level with significant upgrades in comfort, speed, and accuracy.

What Is the iTero Element Scanner

The iTero Element scanner captures detailed three dimensional images of your mouth in real time. A small handheld wand is gently moved over your teeth, collecting thousands of images per second. Within minutes, a precise digital model appears on the screen.

At My Dentist For Life, this technology allows us to improve many treatments, including Invisalign planning, crowns and bridges, implant restorations, and comprehensive treatment evaluations. Digital impressions eliminate the discomfort of traditional molds and reduce the need for retakes. They also allow you to see your teeth on screen, helping you better understand your treatment options.

The Upgrades in iTero Lumina

The iTero Lumina scanner builds on the trusted Element platform with powerful new enhancements.

One of the most noticeable improvements is the redesigned scanning wand. Lumina is smaller and lighter than previous models, making the experience more comfortable for patients. The compact design allows easier access to all areas of the mouth and is especially helpful for patients with a sensitive gag reflex.

Lumina also features a wider field of view. This means the scanner captures more surface area with each pass, allowing us to complete scans more quickly and efficiently. Faster scans reduce chair time while maintaining exceptional accuracy.

Another major advancement is improved image quality. Lumina produces highly detailed, photorealistic 3D models. The enhanced clarity supports more precise treatment planning and helps ensure restorations fit accurately the first time. For patients, the high quality visuals make it easier to understand oral health conditions and proposed treatments.

In addition, Lumina supports advanced restorative and orthodontic workflows. From single crowns to full arch cases and Invisalign treatment planning, this system allows My Dentist For Life to deliver comprehensive care using one streamlined digital platform.
