Types of digital dentistry technology
Cone Beam CT scanner
Our advanced Cone Beam CT Scanner (CBCT) provides us with 3D X-ray images of your teeth and jawbone. Our CBCT scans are reported on by highly experienced consultant dental and maxillofacial radiologists to ensure greater accuracy of diagnosis. This advanced imaging technology detects dental problems that traditional 2D dental X-rays simply can not see, and greatly helps us make the correct diagnosis.
Digital 3D scans
We use the latest iTero digital 5D plus scanner to eliminate the need for taking traditional messy and uncomfortable dental impressions and moulds of your teeth. Digital scans can be used for treatments including Invisalign, retainers, veneers, inlays and onlays, crowns, bridges, and dental implants. The digital nature of the scans eliminates the risk of the patient gagging or feeling uncomfortable during traditional impression taking, and adds a level of accuracy and precision to treatment planning.
Dental microscope & Carl Zeiss magnification loupes
To better identify tiny areas of your tooth, we use a dental microscope and Carl Zeiss dental magnification loupes. They give us much greater magnification, illumination, and clarity when carrying out root canal treatments, dental crowns, veneers, composite bonding and fillings. Using the electronic dental microscope and magnification loupes greatly reduces the risk of areas of the tooth being missed and causing problems in future.
Laser dentistry
We use the latest modern and advanced soft tissue dental lasers to elevate gum treatments. Laser dentistry provides painless and bloodless laser gum reshaping and frenectomy treatments.
Computer-controlled local anaesthetic delivery systems
We know many patients do not like the discomfort of local anaesthetic injections. Therefore, we prioritise a pain-free experience by using the latest computer controlled local anaesthetic delivery systems, such as Septodont Dentapen. Our local anaesthetics are warmed to a comfortable body temperature (39 degrees), and we use numbing gel to ensure painless dental injections for our patients.
