Leading Dentist in San Diego Integrates Next-Generation iTero® Scanner at Coastal Dental Arts
The Californer/10353650

SAN DIEGO - Californer -- Coastal Dental Arts, a trusted provider of comprehensive dental treatments in San Diego, is proud to announce the integration of the next-generation iTero® Element Scanner with Lumina into its practice. This advanced digital scanning technology allows Dr. David Chotiner and the practice's team of skilled dentists to deliver faster, more accurate, and more comfortable care to patients throughout the San Diego area.

As a leading dentist in San Diego, Dr. Chotiner has built Coastal Dental Arts around a commitment to combining modern technology with personalized, patient-first care. The addition of the iTero Lumina scanner reflects that same mission, replacing traditional, messy dental impressions with a fast, precise, and far more pleasant digital experience.

A New Standard for Digital Impressions

The iTero Lumina uses advanced Multi-Direct Capture (MDC) technology to capture multiple high-resolution images of a patient's mouth in seconds through a small, handheld wand. These images are instantly stitched together into a detailed 3D digital model that the dental team uses for diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient education.
