Understanding Dental Impressions

A dental Impression is a negative imprint of the teeth and surrounding oral structures, capturing their precise dimensions and contours. It serves as the foundation for fabricating custom-made restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures, as well as orthodontic appliances like braces and aligners. Dental impressions are typically made using impression materials that set into a solid mold upon contact with oral tissues.
