Primescan Digital Scanner at Seoraesun Dental: No More Dental Impressions

Say Goodbye to Dental Impressions

For decades, getting a crown, veneer, or orthodontic treatment started the same way: biting down on a tray filled with sticky, rubbery impression material and holding still for several minutes while it set. For many patients — especially those with a sensitive gag reflex — this was the worst part of any dental visit.

Traditional impressions are not just uncomfortable. They can also introduce inaccuracies. The material can distort, shrink, or fail to capture fine detail, which means your restoration may not fit perfectly on the first try. And if the impression doesn't turn out right? You start the whole process over again.

At Seoraesun Dental Clinic, we have replaced traditional impressions entirely. Our clinic now uses Primescan by Dentsply Sirona — the most advanced intraoral digital scanner available in clinical dentistry today. No trays, no goop, no gagging. Just a quick, comfortable scan that captures your teeth in stunning 3D detail.

What Is Primescan?

Primescan is Dentsply Sirona's flagship intraoral scanner, used by dental clinics worldwide. Seoraesun Dental uses the latest Primescan 2 model — a fully wireless, cloud-native device that represents the cutting edge of digital dentistry.

Instead of filling a tray with impression material, your dentist simply glides the Primescan wand over your teeth. The scanner captures thousands of high-resolution images per second and instantly assembles them into a precise 3D model on screen. The entire process is fast, comfortable, and remarkably accurate.

Primescan 2 Key Specifications

Traditional Impressions vs. Primescan

Here's how the old way compares to digital scanning with Primescan:

The difference is clear — and patients notice it immediately. Digital scanning with Primescan is faster, more comfortable, and delivers a level of precision that impression materials simply cannot match.

What Treatments Use Primescan?

Primescan is not limited to a single procedure. At Seoraesun Dental, we use digital scanning for a wide range of treatments:

Crowns and Inlays

Digital scanning ensures your crown or inlay fits with exceptional precision. The 3D data is sent directly to the dental lab or in-office milling system, eliminating distortion from physical impressions. The result: restorations that fit right the first time, with minimal adjustments needed.

Veneers and Laminates

For cosmetic treatments like veneers and laminates, accuracy is everything. Even a fraction of a millimeter can affect how natural the final result looks and feels. Primescan's 15-micrometer precision captures the subtle contours of your teeth, ensuring your veneers blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign treatment begins with a digital scan — and Primescan delivers the most accurate starting point possible. The 3D model is used to plan your entire treatment digitally, predicting tooth movement step by step. Better scan accuracy means better-fitting aligners and more predictable results.

Implant Prosthetics

After an implant is placed and healed, a precise scan of the implant position is critical for fabricating the final prosthetic (crown, bridge, or full arch). Primescan captures the implant angle, depth, and surrounding tissue in detail, ensuring the prosthetic connects perfectly to the implant abutment.

Bridges

Bridges span across multiple teeth, making accuracy across a wider area essential. Primescan's ability to capture a full arch in under one minute — with consistent accuracy throughout — makes it ideal for planning and fabricating bridges that fit precisely across all anchor points.

What Patients Notice

Technology specs are impressive on paper, but what matters most is your actual experience in the dental chair. Here's what patients consistently tell us after their first Primescan experience:

• No gagging — the compact scanner wand replaces bulky impression trays entirely. Patients with sensitive gag reflexes are often amazed at how easy the process is.
• See your teeth in 3D on screen — the scan creates a detailed, full-color 3D model of your teeth in real time. Dr. Choi walks you through the results, showing you exactly what she sees and explaining treatment options visually.
• Better-fitting restorations — digital precision means your crown, veneer, or aligner fits more accurately on the first try. Fewer adjustments, fewer re-dos, and a more comfortable final result.
• Faster treatment time — scanning takes 1-2 minutes instead of 5-10. Data is transmitted to the lab instantly instead of being mailed physically. The entire treatment timeline is shortened from start to finish.
