Digital impression taking using intraoral scanners represents the future of modern dentistry. At moderndentistry in Leipzig, you can benefit from this innovative technology and the expertise of our team.
Your expert for digital impression taking in Leipzig
Modern dentistry is constantly evolving and producing innovative technologies that improve both the quality of treatment and the comfort of our patients. One of these revolutionary technologies is digital impression taking using intraoral scanners, which we use successfully at moderndentistry in Leipzig. This advanced method has fundamentally changed conventional impression taking with impression material.
Many patients are still familiar with the unpleasant experience of conventional impression taking with impression trays and impression material. The large impression tray and the often unpleasant taste of the material can cause gagging or discomfort in sensitive patients. Our intraoral scanner makes this stressful experience a thing of the past.
Dr. Niels Hoffmann and our experienced team at moderndentistry rely on state-of-the-art technology to provide you with the best possible dental care. Digital impression taking is an important part of our comprehensive diagnostics and enables us to perform various treatments even more precisely and in a more patient-friendly manner. We use this innovative technology in prosthetics as well as in Orthodontics and implantology.

What is digital impression taking?
Digital impression taking is a state-of-the-art procedure in which we use an intraoral scanner to create three-dimensional images of your teeth and jaw. Digital impressions are based on advanced 3D imaging technology, which enables us to create high-resolution, accurate representations of your teeth. This method uses optical technology to capture precise data about your oral structures and convert it into a detailed digital model.Unlike conventional impressions with silicone material, our intraoral scanner works without contact and generates immediately usable digital data. This data can be viewed, edited, and used for further treatment planning right away. The resulting 3D models offer significantly higher precision than traditional plaster models.At modern dentistry, we use digital impressions as the basis for various dental treatments. The captured data enables us to analyze your individual oral situation in detail and develop customized treatment solutions. Even the smallest changes to your teeth can be detected and documented. This technology is state-of-the-art and is continuously being further developed to offer our patients the most modern treatment available.
For which dental treatments is the intraoral scanner used in Leipzig?
The intraoral scanner has a wide range of applications at modern dentistry and covers almost all areas of modern dentistry. We primarily use digital impressions to produce high-quality dental prostheses. Whether crowns, bridges, or partial dentures—digital impressions enable our dental technicians to produce perfectly fitting restorations.
The intraoral scanner plays a particularly important role in implantology. Dr. Niels Hoffmann uses the precise digital data for the exact planning of implant positions and the fabrication of implant-supported superstructures. The technology enables us to visualize the subsequent prosthetic restoration even before implantation.
Our intraoral scanner also proves to be a valuable tool in orthodontic treatments. We can create precise models for the manufacture of bite splints, retainers, or other orthodontic appliances. Other areas of application include the diagnosis of misaligned / crooked teeth, the analysis of bite relationships, and the manufacture of sports mouthguards.
"Ich bin seit Jahren Patient in dieser Praxis und rundum zufrieden. Zunächst wurden meine Zähne mit Invisalign begradigt, bevor Veneers eingesetzt wurden. Sowohl Dr. Hoffmann als auch Dr. Gottschling sind nicht nur äußerst kompetent, sondern auch sehr angenehm im Umgang. Besonders hilfreich waren die realistischen Mockups vorab – das Ergebnis entspricht genau meinen Erwartungen, ich bin begeistert![...]
Das gesamte Team ist herzlich, patientenorientiert und sorgt dafür, dass man sich jederzeit wohlfühlt.
Klare Empfehlung – hier stimmt einfach alles!"

“Die Mitarbeiter sind regelmäßig in Kontakt mit Patienten wegen Terminvereinbarung, Änderung oder noch für bessere Vorschläge. Mehr Informationen über Behandlung. Die Zahnärztin war professionell, sympathisch und geduldig. Ich war in der Ramadan und sie versucht best wie möglich dass, ich nichts verschluckte (wir machen kleine Pausen während der Behandlung). Die Ergebnisse sind unfassbar super. Ich habe ganz sauber und weiße Zähne.Danke an alle!”

How does impression taking with an intraoral scanner work?
Before treatment
No special preparation is required on your part for digital impression taking. Our team will first conduct a thorough examination of your oral cavity to ensure optimal conditions for the scan. Dr. Niels Hoffmann will discuss the planned procedure with you and explain how the intraoral scanner works.
Preparation includes professional cleaning of the areas to be scanned to remove plaque and food debris. In some cases, we use a special contrast powder that makes the surface structures more visible to the scanner. This powder is completely harmless and is rinsed away after the scan.
Our team will explain how you can best assist during the treatment. It is important that you remain relaxed and breathe calmly. Since the scanner works without contact, you do not need to worry about any unpleasant sensations.
During treatment
The actual digital impression is taken with the utmost precision and is usually painless. Our intraoral scanner is gently inserted into your mouth. The device is about the size of an electric toothbrush and is operated by Dr. Niels Hoffmann or a qualified member of staff.
The scanner systematically captures all relevant areas of your teeth and continuously creates high-resolution 3D images. You can follow the process live on a monitor and see how the digital model is created. This process takes only a few minutes per jaw.
Modern technology makes it possible to capture even hard-to-reach areas with precision. If individual areas are not optimally represented, we can easily perform additional scans without having to repeat the entire process. The digital data is processed immediately and is available for further treatment planning.

FAQ
Why is digital impression taking comfortable for our patients?
%20bzw%20(64x64)%20(2).svg)
Digital impressions are much more comfortable than conventional methods because they are completely contactless. Our intraoral scanner eliminates the need for impression material and large impression trays, which often trigger a gag reflex. The scanning process takes only a few minutes, and you can watch your digital impression being created live.
How does an intraoral scanner work?
The intraoral scanner uses state-of-the-art optical technology and light beams to capture the surface structures of your teeth. The device continuously takes high-resolution images, which are then combined by special software to form a precise 3D model.
How much does digital impression taking cost?
The costs vary depending on the scope of treatment and individual requirements. Our team will be happy to advise you in detail and provide you with a transparent cost estimate.
Are the costs for a digital impression in Leipzig covered by insurance?
