iTero Scanner

State-of-the-art technology to heighten your patient experience

Ever wondered what your teeth could look like if they were perfectly straight? At Tarring Dental in Worthing, you don’t have to guess anymore. We’ve brought the future of dentistry right to our clinic with the iTero Digital Scanner. You could preview how your teeth would look if you chose to have orthodontic work, such as Invisalign treatment. We also use this advanced technology to enhance your patient experience for relevant dental treatments.

What is an iTero scanner?

Think of iTero as a highly advanced, ultra-fast 3D camera for your mouth. Instead of biting down on those old-school mouth trays filled with cold, gooey plaster putty, our team gently glides a small handheld wand over your teeth. It captures thousands of laser-sharp images per second, building a highly accurate 3D model of your mouth right before your eyes. No gagging, no mess, and no stress.

The results

The real magic happens the moment the scan is finished. Using the built-in Invisalign Outcome Simulator, the software processes your unique 3D map and shows you a side-by-side comparison of your teeth exactly as they are now versus how they will look after Invisalign treatment.

What are the benefits of using an iTero Scanner?

No more messy putty: Completely replaces the putty impressions that can cause gagging and taste unpleasant.

Lightning fast: A full-mouth digital scan takes less than three minutes from start to finish.

Instant Invisalign treatment previews: Features a built-in outcome simulator that generates a 3D side-by-side before and after view of your straight future smile in just two minutes.

100% free consultation tool: We offer this advanced 3D visualisation to our Worthing patients entirely free of charge with no obligation.

Pinpoint accuracy: Captures thousands of laser-sharp images per second, meaning your clear aligners, crowns, or nightguards fit perfectly and comfortably the very first time.

Advanced dental wellness tracking: Used during routine new patient exams to safely map, monitor, and compare your teeth and gums over time. It instantly spots enamel wear, shifting, or gum recession.

Completely safe & radiation-free: The scanner relies entirely on safe optical and laser light, making it perfectly safe for adults, children, and pregnant women.

What can iTero be used for?

While we love using this to plan life-changing Invisalign journeys, we also use our iTero scanner for new-patient check-ups. It allows our dentists to track changes in your bite, monitor wear and tear over time, and keep an incredibly detailed, high-tech record of your oral health.

Whether you’re a brand-new patient joining the practice or you’re curious about straightening your smile, your free 3D scan is waiting for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What exactly is an iTero scanner?

    Think of it as a tiny, ultra-fast 3D camera for your mouth. It is a small, handheld wand that our team gently moves around your teeth. It takes thousands of high-definition digital pictures per second to build a perfect, 3D interactive map of your mouth on a screen.

  • Does it hurt?

    Not at all! There are no sharp edges, no needles, and no pain whatsoever. You will just feel the smooth plastic tip of the wand gently gliding along your teeth. It is completely non-invasive.

  • I have a really sensitive gag reflex. Will I be okay?

    The main reason we invested in the iTero scanner for our Worthing practice is to eliminate old-school, gooey plaster moulds. Because the wand is small and we don't have to put trays of cold putty into your mouth, there is absolutely nothing to trigger your gag reflex. You can even pause the scan at any point to take a breath or swallow.

  • Is there any charge for the scan or the Invisalign simulation?

    No, it is 100% free. We believe you should be able to see what’s possible for your smile without any financial barrier or obligation. If you are exploring Invisalign treatment, we will scan your teeth and generate your 3D before-and-after preview completely free of charge.

  • How long does it take to see my Invisalign results simulation?

    The scan itself takes about 60 to 90 seconds. Once finished, the built-in outcome simulator processes the data almost instantly. You will be looking at a side-by-side comparison of your teeth today versus your predicted straight smile in just two to three minutes.

  • Is the scanner safe?

    It is completely safe. Unlike dental X-rays, the iTero scanner uses completely radiation-free optical and laser light to map your teeth. This makes it perfectly safe for everyone, including children and pregnant women.
