Meet the Magical iTero Lumina at Merhoff & Associates Pediatric Dentistry – No More Gooey Impressions!
At Merhoff & Associates Pediatric Dentistry, we believe every visit to the dentist should be a fun adventure — minus the sticky mess and stress! That’s why we’re swinging into the future with the latest in dental tech: the iTero Lumina™ scanner. It’s the newest digital impression system that makes dental care faster, easier, and way more fun — especially for little explorers.
If you’ve ever had dental impressions taken (hello, trays full of goo!), you know it’s not exactly the most thrilling part of your day. And it is especially uncomfortable for kids. But now, with the iTero Lumina, we can capture ultra-precise 3D images of your child’s teeth in record time — no mess, no fuss, and definitely no goo!
What Is the iTero Lumina?
The iTero Lumina is the most advanced intraoral scanner in the iTero family. Designed with next-level optics and ultra-compact hardware, it brings more power and precision to dental imaging in a device that’s smaller and faster than ever before. With three times the number of scanning cameras compared to previous models and a sleek, compact wand, it can easily fit into tiny mouths (perfect for our smallest patients).
It’s the only intraoral scanner in its class that delivers 360° views and high-speed scans with remarkable comfort, all while reducing chair time and keeping your kiddo smiling.
Why Is It a Big Deal for Pediatric Dentistry?
At Merhoff & Associates Pediatric Dentistry, we go wild for healthy smiles by addressing the challenges of making dental visits kid-friendly. The iTero Lumina helps us do just that by:
- Eliminating the need for uncomfortable impression trays
- Speeding up the scanning process to just seconds
- Capturing crystal-clear images for better treatment planning
- Minimizing stress for anxious or sensory-sensitive children
- Removing the need for multiple appointments or retakes
This is game-changing technology that makes diagnostics and treatment more accurate — and lets us spend more time on what really matters: helping your child feel confident, comfortable, and even excited to visit the dentist.
What Makes It Different from Other Scanners?
Let’s break it down, adventurer-style:
This scanner doesn’t just scan better — it scans smarter. With multi-directional imaging, it captures all the details in one smooth motion, meaning we get the clearest picture possible without any of the wiggles or waits.
Where the Wild Smiles Are — Right Here!
