With recent updates in technology, intraoral scanners are producing more accurate models than ever before with instant feedback of quality. Peebles Prosthetics is well versed with all aspects of digital dental design, and can work with you to create an efficient and more time sensitive case for your patient. As traditional impressions will always have their place in a dental lab, our team can work to take a traditional impression, and seamlessly transition to a digital case.

The Peebles CAD/CAM department is able to receive files directly from major scanners through their specific portals, we can accept any STL file via email at CAD@peeblesdentallab.com, or via Dropbox.

Tips to ensure a successful scan

Tissue Management

  • Correctly retracting tissue enables good scanning of the margin
  •  Intra-Oral scanners only scan what is visible to the eye
  • Two-cord retraction is best

Moisture Control

  • Dry the teeth using compressed air
  • Pay special attention to the interproximal areas. Especially deep interproximal preps
  • Ensure the scanner wand is clean and dry

Scanned Information

  • Scan a minimum of 4 opposing teeth
  • On the prepped arch scan the full quadrant. Or at least two adjacent teeth to the mesial and distal of the prepped site.
  • When scanning anterior teeth scan all anterior teeth so the new restoration can be adapted to existing dentition.
  • If possible, provide a pre-op on anterior scans.
  • Do not submit a scan with voids or missing data
