Itero Lumina Intraoral Scanner
Next-Generation Digital Dentistry: iTero Lumina™ Intraoral Scanner
Azura Dental is always implementing state-of-the-art innovations to enhance the results we achieve in the clinic and the experience you have in our practice. We are proud to use the iTero Lumina™ Intraoral Scanner by Align Technology, the most recent and most advanced in 3D Digital impressions. This revolutionary system replaces the traditional and messy dental putty with a highly effective, ultra precise digital workflow.
The iTero Lumina™ is a digital scanner that redefines the state of the art with a surprisingly compact design and incorporates next-generation multi-modal imaging technology. It can make a 3D model of your teeth and oral tissues with just one sweep of a wand, and it’s very accurate. For our patients it means quicker appointments, a certain level of diagnosis and a comfortable, radiation-free journey towards a perfectly planned smile.
Unrivaled Speed, Greater Comfort and Superior Accuracy
The iTero Lumina™ is designed to provide an enhanced patient experience with many technological advances that raise the bar in restorative and orthodontic care:
- 50% Smaller Wand Size: Exceptionally ergonomic with a significantly smaller and lighter scanning wand for highly comfortable and non-invasive scanning (particularly for patients with a sensitive gag reflex and/or limited mouth opening).
- 3x Larger Field of View (FOV): 2x Faster Scanning with our expanded capture field enables our experts to complete full-jaw scans twice as fast as ever before. It is an easy, seamless shot to difficult places such as deep palates, narrow spaces and back molars.
- Photorealistic 3D Models: The system delivers a realistic visual quality that makes it a picture perfect digital replica of your teeth and gums, without the need for uncomfortable and time consuming intraoral photos.
Advanced Diagnostics with the Align™ Oral Health Suite
The iTero Lumina™ is far more than a simple impression tool; it serves as a comprehensive diagnostic ecosystem that empowers you to see exactly what our specialists see. Through the integrated Align Oral Health Suite, we visualize and track your oral condition through multiple innovative technologies:
- Radiation-Free Caries Detection (iTero NIRI Technology): Utilizing Near Infra-Red Imaging, this specialized software aids in detecting interproximal cavities between the teeth without exposing you to harmful radiation. This technology is clinically proven to be significantly more sensitive than traditional bitewing X-rays in spotting early-stage decay.
- Intelligent Software: This software will compare your previous scans over time in order to track the changes in your oral health. Structural changes, such as enamel erosion, gum recession, plaque formation, and progressive enamel wear from bruxism (teeth grinding) can be accurately monitored and displayed.
- Dynamic iTero Occlusogram: Instantly map and analyze your bite force distribution. This tool checks the exact amount of occlusal clearance required for a restoration so that you can be assured that your custom-made crowns, bridges, or veneers will fit perfectly the first time.
- Seamless Invisalign® Integration: If you’re looking to transform your smile with orthodontics, you can have your scanner connected to Invisalign to instantly preview your treatment progression and your beautiful final smile at chairside.
Step into a new era of comfortable, data-driven dental care at Azura Dental. The iTero Lumina™ scanner eliminates the guesswork from your diagnosis, providing predictable results, reduced appointment time, and a better understanding of your path to optimal oral health.
