This allows for C&B, Removables, and Implant restorations. The process is fairly quick and very predictable. iTero models are excellent representations of the mouth which means accurate restorations for you.
Because we are a digital laboratory, we fabricate most of the restorations digitally before the models arrive. We offer model-free crowns, lower partial frameworks and implant abutments from scan-body scans. Call us any time on this technology.
