At I Love My Dentist Tijuana, we are always investing in advanced dental technology to make your visits faster, safer, and completely stress-free. That is why we are excited to announce the latest addition to our clinic: the CEREC Primescan AC by Dentsply Sirona.
Whether you live locally or are crossing the border from San Diego or Southern California for dental care, this state-of-the-art digital scanner transforms how we plan and deliver your smile.
What is the CEREC Primescan AC?
Traditionally, getting a dental crown, bridge, veneer, clear aligner, or implant restoration required biting down on a tray filled with thick, messy impression putty, a process that often triggered a gag reflex and meant waiting weeks for an outside lab.
The CEREC Primescan AC replaces traditional molds with a sleek, handheld digital camera and an all-in-one touchscreen Acquisition Center (AC). In under 60 seconds, the scanner captures millions of 3D data points to create a crystal-clear, photorealistic digital model of your teeth and gums.

Top Benefits for Our Patients
- No More Messy Putty: The compact intraoral camera glides comfortably over your teeth without touching sensitive areas, completely eliminating the discomfort of plastic trays and impression goop.
- Maximum Hygiene with Single-Use Sleeves™️: Your safety is our top priority. Every scan at our clinic uses a Primescan™️ Single-Use Disposable Sleeve. Each sterile barrier sleeve is opened fresh exclusively for your appointment and disposed of immediately afterward, ensuring the highest level of infection control.
- Unmatched Precision and Fit: With dynamic depth-scan technology reaching up to 20 mm, the Primescan captures hard-to-reach angles and natural tooth contours with millimeter accuracy. This means crowns, veneers, clear aligners, and All-on-4 dental implant restorations fit snugly right away with fewer adjustments.
- Faster Turnaround for Dental Travelers: Because the CEREC Primescan AC streamlines our digital design and lab workflow, we can complete crowns, veneers, and implant restorations with faster turnaround times and fewer visits. You save valuable travel time across the border and return home sooner with your finished smile.

Frequently Asked Questions (Patient FAQs)
1. What if I have a strong gag reflex?
You do not need to worry. Because traditional impression putty and bulky trays are completely eliminated, nothing touches the back of your throat or presses heavily on your gums. Your dentist captures your teeth using a smooth, high-precision light beam, making it ideal for patients with a sensitive gag reflex.
2. How does 3D digital precision benefit me when getting a crown, veneer, or implant?
You receive restorations with a comfortable, natural-looking fit right from day one. The system captures thousands of images per second to build an exact 3D color model of your mouth. This allows us to design inlays, veneers, crowns, and implant prosthetics with millimeter precision, significantly reducing chairside adjustments and ensuring long-lasting durability.
3. Will my time in the dental chair be shorter and more comfortable?
Yes. The digital scanning process takes less than a minute and displays your teeth on screen in real time. Additionally, the scanner tip features an internal heater that prevents cold air blasts or lens fogging inside your mouth, keeping you completely comfortable throughout the scan.
4. How do you ensure my new crown or veneer matches the shade of my natural teeth?
The CEREC Primescan AC features automated shade detection technology. Using a specialized color scan, the system identifies the exact shade of your neighboring teeth so your new ceramic restoration blends seamlessly in both tone and brightness.
5. What hygiene and safety standards does this scanner offer?
It guarantees a 100% safe treatment free of cross-contamination. For every single patient, a brand-new, sterile Primescan™️ Single-Use Disposable Sleeve is placed on the scanner before your exam and discarded immediately afterward.
