In the world of high-end cosmetic and implant dentistry, the difference between a “good” fit and a “perfect” fit is measured in microns. For patients in Kansas City seeking long-lasting results, the choice of technology used during their treatment is just as important as the skill of the doctor.
At Gordon Dental Implants & Cosmetics, we utilize 3D Intraoral Scanning (IOS) to replace traditional impression methods, ensuring our patients receive the most accurate, comfortable, and technologically advanced care available.
What is Intraoral Scanning (IOS)?
An intraoral scanner is a handheld device used to create a highly detailed 3D digital map of your mouth. Unlike traditional impressions—which rely on physical materials that can shrink or distort—a digital scan captures thousands of data points to create a “digital master model” of your teeth and gums.
Why Precision Matters for Implants and Veneers
When Dr. Philip Gordon designs a smile makeover or a full-mouth implant reconstruction, he is engineering a functional medical device. High-definition scanning allows for:
Perfect Occlusion (Bite): By scanning how your upper and lower teeth meet in real-time, we can ensure your new veneers or implants don’t cause jaw pain or premature wear.
Seamless Margins: For crowns and veneers, the “margin” is where the restoration meets your natural tooth. Digital precision ensures this transition is invisible to the naked eye and sealed against bacteria.
Digital Smile Design: We can “preview” your final result on the screen before the work even begins, allowing for total artistic control over the shape and translucency of your new teeth.
Comfort Meets Capability
Beyond the clinical benefits, digital scanning is a significant upgrade for the patient experience.
No Mess: No bulky trays or uncomfortable materials.
Speed: A full-arch scan can often be completed in under two minutes.
Education: You can see your 3D model on our monitors immediately, allowing Dr. Gordon to walk you through your treatment plan with total transparency.
Why Choose a Tech-Forward Specialist?
As a Board-Certified Specialist (ABOI Diplomate), Dr. Philip Gordon has placed over 10,000 implants. He understands that integrating the latest technology—like IOS and 3D CBCT imaging—is essential for the success of complex cases. By choosing a practice that invests in the best tools, you are investing in a more predictable, durable, and beautiful result.
“We use technology to eliminate guesswork. In my office, we don’t just hope for a great fit—we engineer it.” — Dr. Philip Gordon
