Primescan Intraoral Scanner - Redefining Dental Impressions
We know how much our patients hate dental appointments and scans
At AO Dentistry, we’ve been using digital scanning for years with our Omniscan intraoral scanner. But recently, we upgraded to something even better. The Primescan intraoral scanner has replaced all that mess with a quick digital scan that’s actually comfortable.
No more impression trays. No more gagging episodes. Just modern technology is making your visit way easier than it used to be.

What Is the Primescan Intraoral Scanner?
In simple words, the primeScan intraoral scanner is a portable scanning device that snaps detailed and accurate 3D images of your teeth. Instead of biting on impression trays, our dentist will simply move a wand around your mouth. And the results come out as a precise 3D model of your teeth appears on the screen in just minutes
We’ve been doing digital impressions at AO Dentistry for a while now with our Omniscan. It was already way better than traditional putty impressions.
The Primescan dental scanner eliminates these issues. We get crystal clear digital files showing every tiny detail we need. Our patients get an experience that doesn’t leave them relieved just to have survived it. Once you try the primescan dental scanner, going back to the old method feels prehistoric.

How Does the Primescan Scanner Work?
The actual scanning process couldn’t be simpler. Here’s what goes down during your appointment:
- Quick drying: We use some air to dry your teeth off so the scanner reads everything clearly
- Scanning time: The wand moves smoothly across your teeth, snapping thousands of images per second
- Live preview: You watch the 3D model building itself on the monitor in real time
- Digital processing: All those images get combined into one seamless digital impression
- Ready to use: We send the digital file directly to our lab or design software

Treatment Duration and Cost
A complete Primescan scan does not take more than 5 to 10 minutes. That’s noticeably faster than our Omniscan was, and way faster than traditional impressions. Traditional impressions require you to sit with uncomfortable trays in your mouth for much longer, waiting for materials to harden while fighting the urge to gag.
At AO Dentistry, the Primescan intraoral scanner can cost you around ₹ 10,000 to ₹ 20,000. We’ve invested significantly in this equipment because we believe in providing advanced care, but that doesn’t mean higher prices for you. Most insurance plans cover digital impressions just like conventional ones. Plus, there’s hidden value here. When scans are this accurate, crowns fit right the first time. Fewer follow-up appointments. Fewer adjustments needed. That saves you hassle and money long term.
