Digital Impressions are Transforming Dentistry

At Josephsen Family Dentistry, we believe modern dental care should be more comfortable, efficient, and accurate than ever before. That’s why we’ve invested in cutting-edge digital impression technology—specifically CEREC for same-day crowns and bridges, and iTero scanning for Invisalign treatment. Gone are the days of messy, goopy impression materials and long wait times for lab work. With digital impressions, we can deliver faster and more precise results for our patients—all right here in our office.

Same-Day Crowns and Bridges with CEREC

Traditional crowns and bridges usually take two or more visits. After the tooth is prepared and a physical impression is sent to an off-site lab, you leave with a temporary crown that may break or fall off while you wait weeks for the final restoration. With our in-office CEREC system, we scan, design, mill, and place your permanent crown or bridge in one single visit.

Benefits include:

  • No temporary crowns
  • No second appointment
  • No messy molds
  • Long-lasting, beautiful results

The digital scans are incredibly precise, which means your crown or bridge fits better, feels more natural, and usually does not require ANY adjustments. It’s a game-changer for both convenience and quality.

Invisalign Treatment with iTero Digital Scanning

If you’re considering straightening your teeth, digital impressions are also essential to the Invisalign® process. At Josephsen Family Dentistry, we use the iTero scanner, which creates a highly detailed 3D image of your teeth and bite.

This allows us to:

  • Show you a preview of your smile transformation before treatment even begins
  • Design a fully customized set of aligners with maximum precision
  • Eliminate the need for uncomfortable physical molds
  • Easily replace lost aligners using your digital records


The iTero system allows for greater comfort and accuracy throughout your Invisalign journey and helps us track your progress with digital precision at every stage of treatment.
