A Closer Look at Your Smile: The iTero® Element 5D Scanner at Kudlik Dental

At Kudlik Dental, we believe in using technology that makes your dental care more comfortable, more accurate, and more holistic. One of the most powerful tools we’ve added to our office is the iTero® Element 5D scanner—a breakthrough in digital imaging that goes far beyond traditional impressions.

What Is the iTero 5D Scanner?

The iTero 5D is a state-of-the-art digital intraoral scanner that creates a precise 3D model of your teeth and gums—all without the messy putty impressions that most patients dread. Using a small handheld wand, we can scan your mouth in minutes and display a detailed, color image on our screen.

But what truly sets the iTero 5D apart is that it’s the first dental imaging system to simultaneously record 3D, intraoral color, and near-infrared imaging (NIRI) technology. That means it doesn’t just show your teeth—it can also help us detect cavities between teeth without X-rays.

Benefits of the iTero 5D Scanner

Patients love this technology because it is:

Comfortable – No goopy impressions, no gagging. Just a quick, non-invasive scan.
Accurate – Highly precise 3D models improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
Radiation-Free Cavity Detection – Near-infrared imaging allows us to spot early decay between teeth without additional X-ray exposure.
Invisalign-Ready – iTero scans are directly integrated with Invisalign®, giving us fast, seamless planning for your aligner treatment.
Progress Tracking – We can compare scans over time to monitor wear, movement, or early oral health concerns.

A Holistic Fit for Our Patients

Because Kudlik Dental practices a whole-body approach to dentistry, the iTero 5D scanner fits perfectly with our philosophy. By reducing exposure to unnecessary X-rays and allowing us to identify issues early, we can prevent more invasive treatments later. That means healthier teeth, healthier gums, and a healthier you.
