What Is a Dental CT Scan?
A dental CT scan at LA Dental Clinic creates a detailed 3D image of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding areas. The practice uses the 3M™ True Definition Scanner, a digital intraoral imaging system that replaces the need for physical impression trays entirely. With this information, LA Dental Clinic can plan dental restorations with precision, place implants accurately, create orthodontic appliances that fit correctly, and design crowns, bridges, and full-arch restorations to a clinically proven standard. The process is quick, comfortable, and produces a digital file that can be used for chairside or laboratory fabrication.
What Dental CT Scans Support at LA Dental Clinic
The 3M™ True Definition Scanner at LA Dental Clinic supports a range of restorative and cosmetic treatments in Los Angeles, wherever a precise digital record of the tooth anatomy is needed to plan or fabricate the result.
Crowns and Bridges
Digital scans replace physical impressions for single crowns and multi-unit bridges, producing restorations with a 99.7% fit rate that typically seat correctly on the first try.
Full-Arch Dentistry
For long-span and full-arch cases where there is little tolerance for distortion or error, the 3M True Definition Scanner delivers clinically proven accuracy across the entire arch.
Implant Restoration Planning
Digital scans are used to plan and fabricate implant crowns and bridges with precision, producing restorations that integrate accurately with the implant abutment and surrounding teeth.
Orthodontic Appliances
Scans are used to create Invisalign aligners and other orthodontic appliances that fit accurately without requiring physical impressions at any stage.
Dental Restorations
Digital impressions support the design and fabrication of inlays, onlays, and overlays with the same fit accuracy as crowns, reducing the need for adjustments and repeat visits.
Same-Day Restorations
Depending on the case, the digital file can be used to design and fabricate a restoration chairside, allowing patients to receive their final restoration in a single appointment.
Why Patients Trust CT Scans at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic uses the 3M™ True Definition Scanner because the clinical results it delivers across restorative and cosmetic treatments are measurably better than those achievable with conventional physical impressions.
- Consistent accuracy. The 3M True Definition Scanner delivers a 99.7% fit rate, reducing the need for adjustments or remakes. Restorations typically seat on the first try.
- A better patient experience. The scanning process is quick and simple. Patients spend less time in the chair, need fewer appointments, and avoid the discomfort of traditional impression trays entirely.
- Cost effective. Fewer remakes and adjustments reduce the overall cost of treatment and the number of return visits required to achieve a correctly fitting restoration.
-
Flexible digital workflow. The system integrates with most CAD/CAM platforms through open STL file compatibility, allowing LA Dental Clinic to collaborate with a wide range of labs and specialists without compromising accuracy.
Since digital scans replace the need for messy impression trays, patients can expect a cleaner, more comfortable experience. The 3M™ True Definition Scanner includes a light, balanced scanning wand with no moving parts, a touchscreen monitor for real-time visualization, and a mobile cart that keeps everything within reach during the procedure.
How the CT Scan Process Works at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic's digital scanning process follows four stages, from capturing the initial scan through to placing the completed restoration.
1
Scan, Review and Approve
LA Dental Clinic begins by scanning both the treatment area and the opposing arch. A bite scan is also captured to record the patient's bite position. Once the scan is complete, the system requires a full review before any files can be submitted. Assessment tools within the scanner software confirm that every detail has been captured accurately, giving the practice confidence that the restoration will fit as planned.
2
Prescribe and Send
After the scan is approved, the digital prescription is completed. This includes the type of restoration, material, and shade. Each prescription is signed using a secure, dentist-specific PIN. The finalised digital impression is then sent securely to the 3M™ Connection Center, where it is ready for design and production.
3
Design and Produce
Once the files reach the lab or in-office design system, the digital model is used to create the restoration. Whether designed chairside or in the laboratory, the open STL file format allows flexibility across fabrication methods including milling, implant placement, and orthodontic appliances.
4
Seat and Cement
When the restoration is complete, the patient returns to LA Dental Clinic for placement. Because of the accuracy of the scan, the restoration typically seats properly on the first try, allowing for a smooth and efficient appointment. In many cases, patients receive their final restoration the same day or during a short follow-up visit.
Precision Technology at a UCLA Faculty Practice
LA Dental Clinic's decision to use the 3M™ True Definition Scanner reflects the same clinical standard applied across every treatment at the practice: accuracy is not optional. The scanner was chosen because it delivers a 99.7% fit rate on complex cases including long-span bridges, multi-unit restorations, and full-arch dentistry, which are the cases where a poorly fitting restoration causes the most clinical and cosmetic problems.
Both Dr. Arezoo and Dr. Azy Nasiry hold faculty positions at the UCLA School of Dentistry, where clinical precision and patient-centered care are foundational standards. The 3M True Definition Scanner eliminates messy impression trays, reduces appointment time, and produces restorations that consistently fit on the first visit. For patients whose cosmetic and restorative work spans multiple treatments at LA Dental Clinic, using the same high-accuracy digital scanning system throughout means every restoration is built from the same reliable foundation.

What Digital CT Scanning Means for Your Treatment
For patients at LA Dental Clinic, the practical benefits of digital scanning over conventional impressions are straightforward: no messy impression material, a faster scan that takes approximately 60 seconds per arch, restorations that are highly accurate and require fewer adjustments, shorter overall treatment times, and the option to receive a finished restoration the same day or at a short follow-up visit rather than waiting weeks for a lab-fabricated result.
LA Dental Clinic treats patients from across Los Angeles whose work or public profile means the fit, appearance, and reliability of every restoration matters more than average. The same scanning accuracy that reduces a patient's number of appointments also produces a crown or bridge that sits correctly, functions without bite issues, and looks as natural as the tooth it replaces.

"Terrific dentist!!! Friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. She and her staff made me feel cared for and valued as a patient. I need tons of dental work and I didn't feel judged for having "bad teeth". For the first time in a long time I'm confident that I have a dentist that actually cares about me as a person first and patient second. I am confident that Dr. Nasiry will help to restore the smile I lost years ago. I can't thank her enough"
Christina W.
"I came in for a dental emergency and they took care of me day of! They were also so fast which I appreciate. The room had a tv, the staff were nice, and I will be coming back.
It was definitely pricey as I do not have dental insurance, but you get what you pay for."

"Absolutely wonderful! I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years, and everyone made sure I got the treatment I needed without being judgemental or condescending about it. The hygienist is kind and talkative, and everyone was very cognizant of my needs and made sure I wasn't in pain. Dr. Nasiry is great, and I completely trust her with my teeth and their future care! (They are also very upfront and honest about pricing, which is very appreciated.)"
Stefanie W.
"Was in the Los Angeles area for business, and my veneer came off. Not only did they answer my call at 3am but got me into see a dentist in between their already booked schedule. Once I arrived I was greeted by a very kind receptionist and a clean waiting room. I was taken back by Jose, very nice and diligent tech and then I got to meet my dentist. Like an angel for my teeth. The doctor was friendly, gentle and incredibly knowledgeable. She got me fixed up and helped me find dentist back in phx to continue my care. I am making plans to travel back to Los Angeles to see LA Dental again! Amazing!"

"This is my first time here at LA Dental Clinic and I love how caring, relatable, professional, and knowledgeable Dr. Golara, Sara, Cynthia, and Gloria are. They let me know everything that is being done for my son's teeth. They were patience with him by ensuring that he understands what they are doing, the different instruments being used, how they are doing the x-rays, and etc. The office is very clean and they have parking, which is always a plus. Thank you for your help with my son and getting his perfect smile. The prices are very reasonable and not pressured into anything you do not feel comfortable doing. I highly recommend LA Dental Clinic to everyone."

"Dr. Azy, Jesus and Sara completely changed how I feel about my smile. I used to hide it and now I catch myself smiling more without even thinking. It feels so good to finally love it.
The composite bonding experience felt more like self care than a scary dental visit and that says everything. So grateful I found this place! They really helped me feel like myself again."

"My first visit at Dr. Nasiry was excellent. The staff was welcoming friendly and funny. They eased my nerves. Once I was seated they had music playing which was new but pleasant. The doctor was easy to talk to and she listen to all my concerns. She makes you feel like you are her number one priority. Ive had braces put it and I was terrified but they all helped me get through it. I have a favorite assistant who goes above and beyond to make sure you are ok and getting the best treatedment. This place is great and im glad I made the decision to make them my permanent dental family."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the scan take?
A full arch scan at LA Dental Clinic typically takes around 60 seconds. The lightweight scanning wand moves comfortably through the mouth, and the entire process is significantly faster than waiting for a physical impression material to set. The scan appointment, including review and approval of the digital files, is typically complete within a short single visit.
Is the scan uncomfortable?
No. The 3M™ True Definition Scanner uses a small wand that allows for a simple and comfortable scanning experience. There is no material setting in the mouth, no tray to hold in position, and no gagging reflex triggered by bulky impression material. Most patients find the digital scan considerably easier than a conventional impression.
Are digital scans more accurate than traditional impressions?
Yes. The 3M™ True Definition Scanner at LA Dental Clinic provides a clinically proven 99.7% fit rate, which is significantly more accurate than traditional physical impression methods. Conventional impressions can distort during the setting and transport process. Digital impressions are captured, reviewed, and transmitted electronically, removing those sources of error. For complex restorations such as long-span bridges and full-arch cases, this level of accuracy translates directly to fewer adjustments and a better-fitting final result.
Can these scans be used for implant planning?
Yes. With the advanced data plans used at LA Dental Clinic, digital scans can be used for precise implant restoration planning. Once osseointegration is complete and the implant abutment is in place, a digital scan captures the exact position and surrounding anatomy needed to fabricate an implant crown or bridge that fits accurately and integrates naturally with the adjacent teeth.
Do you offer same-day crowns or restorations?
Yes. Depending on the case, many restorations can be completed in a single day or across a short second appointment at LA Dental Clinic. The digital file produced by the scan can be used for chairside design and fabrication, meaning patients can leave their appointment with a finished restoration rather than waiting for a laboratory to produce it over several days.
Is this scanning technology suitable for patients with demanding schedules or professional appearances to maintain?
Yes. LA Dental Clinic treats patients from across Los Angeles who need reliable, high-accuracy restorations and cannot accommodate multiple return visits for adjustments or remakes. The 99.7% fit rate of the 3M™ True Definition Scanner means restorations typically seat correctly on the first try, and the same-day option means fewer appointments overall. For patients whose smile is part of their professional life, a restoration that fits correctly and looks natural from the first placement matters.
