A couple of advantages of intraoral scans are no impressions for the patient, and dentists can see and manipulate a magnified 3D image of the preparation and occlusal clearance allowing them to refine the preparation and margins before sending the final scan to the laboratory. Luminous Dental Ceramics accepts 3D intraoral scans from our dental partners via email, 3Shape, Trios and file transfer platforms. We also digitise stone models using our extraoral scanner, then use Exocad to digitally design restorations which are milled from zirconia, IPS e.max or wax.
