Overview
In some cases, the physical methods of making impressions are not ideal. Traditionally, you would have to sit as still as possible with a mouthful of putty for several minutes while a mold of your mouth was imprinted, and all for a simple plaster casting of your mouth. We offer traditional and digital impressions.
Digital impressions employ lasers and other optical scanning devices to render an in-depth, accurate depiction of your mouth straight to our computer screen for viewing. The payoff? More productivity, efficiency, and accuracy from us, and more comfort and less time in the dental chair for you. These are all great reasons to smile. Call and schedule a consultation if you would like to learn more about our digital imaging at our office in The Woodlands, TX.
Process
Preparation begins with the selected area of your mouth being cleaned. Depending on which system is employed, your teeth may need to be brushed with a specially formulated titanium dioxide powder. From there, we insert an intraoral wand into your mouth to begin capturing the data. Simultaneously, the data is rendered as an image onto the monitor. As the impression is reviewed in real-time, we can find and correct any mistakes with the data before it’s sent to our dental laboratory. As this is a better blueprint of your mouth, we can more accurately custom-create a solution for the teeth that need restoring. It should only take 3 – 5 minutes to scan your teeth and bite.
Texas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry Reviews
Stephanie did awesome job cleaning my teeth today !!!
Was in today Staff is the best and very knowledgeable. Appointments are honored to the minutes which is so important in today's world. A bit expensive but you truly get what you pay for. No different than I run my business. Overall just a great dentist and experience.
I had a wonderful whitening session. Procedure was very fairly priced and the entire staff was very friendly. I was in and out within 2 hours. Which is great for any whitening sessions. And my results were unbelievable 🤩 I would 10/10 recommend Texas Cosmetic Dentistry. Thank you guys!! Edit: 10 months later I had another wonderful experience with Lenora. (Forgive me if I said her name wrong, this was a few weeks ago) I called to see if they could fit me in for a last minute whitening appointment for my Wedding elopement in Las Vegas. We pretty much ditched the big wedding we had booked and took off a few days later! When I explained to the receptionist the circumstances she quickly put me on hold and got me an appointment first thing…. My results were wonderful as you can see here!!! I had plenty of stains from my Invisalign and they are minimal if not completely gone. Thanks again y’all for a wonderful experience 💛
Life changing smile, it was done not only correct, but exceeded every high expectation I had. Thank you Team, it was a great experience.
Always receive great service on every visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are They Really Quicker?
With this new technology, we can engineer restorations (crowns, veneers, and fillings) usually in just a single office visit. You will spend less time in the dental chair and no longer have to endure biting into messy trays that take a long time to create.
Can You Make A 3D Model?
In some casese, we can make a 3D model of your teeth and gums with the digital impression technology. From your digital impression, we can create a 3D model of your teeth to point out and analyze your dental flaws for correction. We can also show you what your smile could look like with your proposed treatment plan right on the screen so you can see the difference in all your options.
Are There Other Benefits?
Digital impressions can easily be tweaked with rescanning the image instead of making you sit through another messy traditional impression. They are eco-friendly as they remove the need for plastic trays and goopy impression materials. Also, they can be digitally stored in your electronic dental chart for easy access for future use and comparisons.
