Digital X-Rays & Safer Imaging
Digital x-rays make exams faster and safer by offering high-resolution images with significantly reduced radiation. The process is simple and efficient, allowing the dentists to review results immediately. With improved clarity, dental concerns can be identified and addressed before they progress.
- Lower radiation levels: Reduces exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional x-rays.
- Fast digital results: Images appear on screen almost instantly for real-time review.
- Enhanced diagnostic clarity: Detects issues like cavities, infections, and bone loss.
- Eco-friendly system: No film or chemicals required for processing.
iTero® Scanner & Mess-Free Impressions
The iTero scanner captures a precise 3D model of your teeth using a small digital wand. This replaces traditional impressions that often feel messy or uncomfortable. It’s especially helpful for planning treatments like Invisalign or restorative procedures.
- No messy materials: Avoids the need for putty trays or uncomfortable molds.
- Incredibly accurate imaging: Helps ensure better-fitting aligners and restorations.
- Live digital visualization: See a model of your mouth in real time during the scan.
- Efficient treatment planning: Improves communication with labs and speeds up timelines.
Planmeca PlanScan® & Same-Day Restorations

CCBCT & Comprehensive 3D Imaging
CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) delivers a detailed, 3D view of your teeth, bone, and soft tissues. This advanced scan supports complex procedures like implant placement, root canal therapy, and surgical planning. It’s quick, non-invasive, and provides more detail than traditional x-rays.
- Full-mouth visualization: Shows teeth, bone, nerves, and sinus areas in one scan.
- Precision planning tool: Essential for safe, accurate implant and surgical procedures.

From there, we design and print custom 3D surgical guides that ensure your implants are placed with exact precision.
- CBCT-guided planning: Detailed imaging allows us to plan implant depth, angle, and position accurately.
