Proud Owners of the CEREC® Primescan

The CEREC® Primescan is a state-of-the-art digital impression system in Highland Park, IL that eliminates the need for messy putty in your mouth. With our CEREC® Primescan, Dr. Skurie can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums. Not only is this process far more comfortable than the old putty based impressions, but it’s faster and can offer a superior clinical endpoint.

• No goop or gag to worry about
• Fast, accurate impression
• Ideal for clear aligners and retainers
• See a simulation of your potential post-treatment smile

During the impression process, you can breathe or swallow as you normally would. You can even pause during the process if you need to sneeze or just want to ask a question. The scanner gives us a 3D model of your mouth that we use with all SureSmile® dental services in Highland Park, IL to show you what your new smile might look like.

Digital Radiography

Digital x-rays are the newest technology used in dentistry to take and archive dental x-rays. Digital x-rays significantly reduce the amount of radiation as compared to traditional dental x-rays. This technique captures a digital picture of teeth with their supporting bone structures and stores the images on a computer in our dental office in Highland Park, IL. You and Dr. Skurie will be able to instantly view your x-rays and enlarge the image to aid in the identification of dental problems and to gauge your dental health. Dr. Skurie at Sam Skurie Dental will use this information to create an individualized treatment plan.

Intra-Oral Camera

Taking pictures of the teeth and supporting tissue with a small video camera about the size of a pen is a wonderful addition to dentistry today. The intraoral camera creates digital images that can be stored on a computer. The images are shared with our patients so they can join us in the "co-diagnosis" of problems with their dental health. Dr. Skurie can show you how others view your smile and which dental fillings are broken or discolored. We look forward to showing you a dental tour of your mouth in the privacy of your treatment room.
