iTero Lumina™ Scanner

What Is the iTero Lumina™ Scanner?

The iTero Lumina™ is the latest innovation in intraoral scanning technology. Unlike traditional impressions that can be uncomfortable and time-consuming, the Lumina™ uses a small handheld wand to capture 3D digital images of your entire mouth—quickly, comfortably, and radiation-free. Its high-resolution imagery and enhanced visualization tools allow us to detect potential issues early and provide a more comprehensive view of your dental health.

What Is a Digital Wellness Scan?

A Digital Wellness Scan is a non-invasive scan of your teeth and gums, performed using the iTero Lumina™. It gives both you and your dentist an instant look at:

• Tooth wear and grinding patterns
• Gum recession and inflammation
• Bite alignment and shifting teeth
• Potential areas of concern—before they become problems

These scans help us track changes over time, so we can better tailor your treatment, prioritize preventive care, and help you make informed decisions about your smile.

Why It Matters?

Your oral health is closely connected to your overall wellness. With the iTero Lumina™ scan, we can identify subtle signs of dental disease, jaw stress, or alignment issues that may be affecting your comfort, appearance, or long-term health.

• Monitoring changes over time with side-by-side image comparisons
• Patients with restorations, implants, or orthodontic history
• Annual wellness tracking during routine checkups
• Visual education—see what your dentist sees in real time

At Dental Associates of Northern Virginia, we believe the best dentistry is proactive, not reactive. The iTero Lumina™ helps us catch small issues before they become costly problems, while giving you a better understanding of your oral health.
