To achieve a perfect smile at the dentist patients are now being invited to don a pair of 3D glasses and gain a fuller experience of their dental care.
Following a quick but detailed scan with a wand-sized oral scanner, it's now possible to view 360 degree images of your teeth on a touch screen monitor next to the dental chair wearing 3D glasses.
The new Lava chairside oral scanner (C.O.S.) from global dental company 3M ESPE, captures highly detailed images of the teeth, replacing traditional putty impression taking which is uncomfortable and less accurate.
