Tekscan is an advanced digital technology used in dentistry to analyse your bite with precision. It uses a thin, pressure-sensitive sensor that you bite down on, allowing the system to measure how your teeth come together and where pressure is being applied. This provides highly accurate, real-time data that helps dentists identify imbalances or excessive force that may not be visible during a standard examination.
By using Tekscan, dentists can create more precise and personalised treatment plans for issues such as bite problems, teeth grinding, or discomfort in the jaw. It is especially useful when adjusting restorations like crowns, bridges, or implants to ensure even pressure distribution. This technology improves accuracy, enhances patient comfort, and supports better long-term oral health outcomes.
