Extended range of intraoral scanners
Bristol CadCam has focused on digital dentistry since its inception in 2006. The company grew out of the milling centre Bristol Crown, so we have always had access to the machines and software that we sell. We have had a relationship with Medit for many years and started our journey with intraoral scanners with the Medit i500. Over the years we have extended our range and now sell and support 3Shape, iTero and Shining intraoral scanners.
We get enquiries every day from dentists who are wondering whether they should invest in an intraoral scanner, they want to know about costs, benefits and downsides. There is also the question, once they have decided to go ahead, of which model is best for them. We can answer all those questions.
“Bristol CADCAM helped us move our digital development forwards a at incredible pace. The team were helpful and supportive long before a sale was guaranteed and more importantly have taken excellent care of us afterwards. Initial training on our purchase was thorough and allowed us to really understand how our new tech works, ongoing support has always been responsive.”

What is an intraoral scanner and how does it work?
- High resolution imaging
- Accurate & precise
- Real time visualisation
- Enhanced patient comfort.
Scan a full arch in 2-5 minutes
Intraoral scanners are handheld devices used to create precise 3D digital impressions of the teeth and gums. This device is moved around the inside of the patient’s mouth where light is projected onto the dental structures capturing the reflected images with a high-resolution camera.
These images are captured via software and will appear on a connected computer or laptop screen in real time. These files can be electronically sent to your dental lab and be processed to produce a precise 3D model of the patient’s mouth and then used for various procedures such as crowns, bridges, implants and orthodontics.
How do intraoral scanners improve the patient’s experience?
- Takes highly accurate 3D scans
- Enhances communication
- Gets rid of uncomfortable impression trays
- Reduces chair time.
Involving the patient leads to greater trust and engagement
Intraoral scanning is a digital technology that allows dentists and their teams to take highly accurate 3D scans of their patients’ mouths. This technology can greatly enhance communication with dental patients in several ways.
Firstly, an intraoral scan provides a visual representation of the patient’s mouth so instead of just describing any issues the dentist has found, or using traditional x-rays, the dentist can show the patient the actual 3D scan, making it easier to explain and discuss specific areas of concern with the patient; they see for themselves what is going on and are more likely to understand that change is needed.
