Common conclusions
It seems you may need to have a dental impression since you are planning crowns or veneers placing. A dental impression is a negative imprint of your teeth and soft tissues around them. That is an important stage due to modelling your future ceramics and the need of matching your teeth rows together to imitate chewing movements. Dental impressions are necessary for proper ceramics placing.
Dental impressions are used at the stage of planning your orthodontic treatment for diagnostics. A dental impression is a negative imprint of your teeth and soft tissues around them. That is an important stage due to evaluation of present situation and the need of matching your teeth rows together to imitate chewing movements. Orthodontist will measure all the intervals, teeth size and your jaws size. Moreover, he may also need to calculate the pathway for your teeth moving. That is necessary for proper brace treatment.
You may need a dental impression since you are going to have denture for your mouth. A dental impression is a negative imprint of your teeth (if you have them) and soft tissues around them. That is an important stage due to modelling your future denture and the need of matching your teeth rows together to imitate chewing movements. Dental technician will create a shape of your future teeth row and place teeth to the plastic or nylon basis.
It seems you may need a partial dental impression since you are going to have your tooth restored with composite filling. A dental impression is a negative imprint of your teeth and soft tissues around them. That is an important stage due to keeping your chewing surface anatomy. After preparing your tooth a dentist will put this imprint with a slightly pressure over the composite material to reconstruct the surface that is usual and comfortable for you.
