What Is an Oral Scan?
An oral scan records the shape of teeth and gums with digital equipment. Unlike waiting with traditional impression material in the mouth, a scanner captures tooth surfaces and creates digital data.

Oral Scan Care That Reduces Impression Discomfort | Seoul TTE Dental Clinic
For patients who find impressions difficult or worry about gagging, Seoul TTE Dental Clinic provides digital scan care using the PrimeScan oral scanner.
Some patients find dental impressions difficult or experience strong gagging when the material feels close to the throat.
Seoul TTE Dental Clinic uses the PrimeScan digital oral scanner to gather oral data needed for prosthetic and implant planning while reducing discomfort from impressions.
Difference from Traditional Impressions
Traditional impressions require impression material to remain in the mouth for a period of time, which can cause gagging or discomfort. Oral scanning records the needed area with scanning equipment and may make the process more comfortable.
Traditional Impressions Are Not Eliminated in Every Case
Oral scanning is possible in many cases, but traditional impressions may still be needed depending on treatment type and oral condition. Exact applicability is explained after diagnosis.
