A model of your teeth
An intraoral camera progressively records visible tooth surfaces. The resulting model allows views from different angles and records how the upper and lower teeth meet. Your dentist checks the acquisition before using it.
DENTAL IMAGING · HORIZON CENTER
Digital dental impressions.
Intraoral optical scanning · Available at Horizon Center.
At Dr Houda Agunaou’s practice in Casablanca, an optical scanner records the surfaces of teeth and gums as a three-dimensional digital model. Depending on your needs, this impression can support restorative dental care or clear aligner planning. It complements the clinical examination and helps explain your proposed care.
YOUR DENTIST
Dr Houda Agunaou
At Horizon Center, Dr Houda Agunaou discusses the stages of digital impression taking and the proposed care. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss discomfort, expectations and the stages of your proposed care.
YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
A full assessment,
clearly explained steps.
Assessment and reviews take place at the practice, which you can explore before your visit.
Preparing for your impression
Your dentist examines the relevant teeth and explains the scan’s role in your treatment. Mention sensitivity, a strong gag reflex or difficulty keeping your mouth open. Breaks can be arranged.
Recording the tooth surfaces
The scanner tip is moved around the teeth to capture the required surfaces. The team manages moisture and visibility in the scanned areas. Depending on the treatment, both arches and the bite are recorded.
Checking the model and planning next steps
The model is checked on screen and areas can be rescanned if needed. It then supports the agreed treatment, with laboratory transfer where appropriate. Try-ins, adjustments and reviews remain important steps.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Preparing your decision,
asking your questions.
Is optical scanning available at the practice?
Yes. Horizon Center has an optical scanner for digital impressions at the practice. Dr Houda Agunaou assesses whether it is appropriate during your consultation.
Does an optical scanner use X-rays?
No. It optically records visible surfaces. It does not show deeper bone structures and therefore cannot replace radiography when this is indicated.
How does it differ from 3D cone beam imaging?
An optical scanner creates a surface model of teeth and gums. Cone beam imaging is a three-dimensional X-ray examination showing structures including teeth and bone. Their information can be complementary.
Does taking a digital impression hurt?
Optical acquisition alone does not require an injection. The scanner tip and keeping your mouth open can be uncomfortable for some people. Mention pain or sensitivity so the team can adapt the process.
Does a scan mean I can receive a crown the same day?
Not by itself. Timing depends on preparation, manufacturing, the laboratory and any necessary try-ins. The practice will explain the expected schedule for your care.
