Digital technology has revolutionized how we practice dentistry, creating a more streamlined workflow, with fewer appointments.
Features include:
More accuracy
Less time in surgery
Enhanced patient involvement
Reduced risks and complications
Better outcomes for our patients
Orthophos CBCT Scanner

Our in-house CBCT scanner streamlines the digital workflow in diagnosis and planning. Using Simplant, the scans from the Orthophos (CBCT) and the CEREC Omnicam can be combined to produce surgical guides for a prosthetically driven treatment plan.
A CBCT scan is a three-dimensional bone scan. Our practice philosophy follows the principles of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). Safety is our #1 concern.
A dental 3D X-ray is safer than:
Going on an airplane
Spending a weekend in New York City
Drinking half a bottle of wine or 30 cans of soda
Equivalent to a full mouth series of x-rays
And is 200 times less exposure than a medical CBCT scan
Dentsply Sirona Primescan

The intraoral scanner is used to capture the same information as a traditional impression but with:
No mess
No waste
No gagging
More accuracy, and
Less time in the dental chair
Patient Experience

Appointment #1 An Intra Oral Scan takes a digital scan of the soft tissue and teeth. A CBCT Scan takes a digital scan of the bone.

Planning The two digital files are merged to create the perfect surgical guide for implant placement.

Appointment #2 - Computer-guided Surgery

More accurate
Less time in surgery
Reduced risks and complications
