Digital Dentistry with iTero® Scanners in Asheville, NC
At Asheville Smiles, we use the latest digital technology to make your dental visits faster, more accurate, and more comfortable. That’s why we’ve invested in both the iTero® Lumina™ and iTero® Element™ 5D scanners. These cutting-edge tools replace messy impressions with quick, precise 3D digital imaging—helping us diagnose, plan, and treat with unmatched accuracy.
How iTero® Lumina™ Works
The iTero Lumina™ is the newest generation of intraoral scanning. Its smaller, sleeker wand captures ultra-clear images in seconds, even in hard-to-reach areas. This makes it easier for patients and more efficient for our team.
- Faster scans with fewer rescans
- More comfort thanks to the slim design
- High-resolution 3D images for Invisalign®, crowns, bridges, and more
How iTero® Element™ 5D Works
The iTero Element™ 5D goes beyond digital impressions—it uses near-infrared imaging (NIRI) to detect cavities between teeth without radiation. This allows us to spot potential problems earlier and provide more conservative treatment.
- Caries detection without X-rays (in many cases)
- Time-lapse technology to track changes in your teeth over time
- Accurate impressions for crowns, bridges, implants, and Invisalign® aligners
