Better dentist/lab communication. Sending a digital scan to the lab allows the dentist and technician to communicate more directly. If there are any issues with the scan, those issues can be addressed right away—rather than days later.

With digital impressions (unlike traditional ones), if you’re not happy with the scan, it’s easy to re-take or go over an area you might have missed. Viewing a prep on a large screen ensures “seeing” more than you would  with a traditional impression. You can view the scan before you send it, checking for accuracy and ensuring that all the information is solid and on-point.  

Greater efficiency yields higher quality impressions That means fewer questions from the lab -- and less back and forth time.
