Comfortable Digital Scanning Without Traditional Impressions
At Luxor Dental, Dr. Michel Raad, Dr. Zeba Siddiq and our team use intraoral scanning to create detailed digital impressions of your teeth and bite. Our practice has used intraoral scanning technology for more than 15 years, helping us provide a more comfortable and efficient experience for many restorative treatments.
For applicable procedures, digital impressions replace traditional impression material with a handheld scanner that captures the information needed to plan and create your restoration. This digital workflow can help our team take precise measurements while avoiding the trays and impression material many patients find uncomfortable.

How We Use Digital Impressions
Digital impressions may be used when planning custom restorations that need to fit your teeth and bite accurately. Depending on your treatment, our team may use intraoral scanning for:
- Dental crowns
- Dental bridges
- Same-day crowns
- Other treatments that benefit from a detailed digital model of your teeth
The digital scan gives our team information that can be used to plan a restoration around your individual smile rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
More Than 15 Years of Intraoral Scanning
Luxor Dental has used intraoral scanning technology for more than 15 years. This long-standing digital workflow supports efficient treatment planning and allows us to reduce the need for conventional impressions when digital scanning is appropriate.
Our practice also uses in-house milling technology for appropriate same-day crown cases, allowing digital scanning and restoration fabrication to work together as part of an efficient in-office process.
