CBCT 3D Imaging

When planning complex treatments like dental implants, we need to see exactly what is happening beneath the surface. Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) machine takes dental imaging to the next level. Unlike a standard flat X-ray, a CBCT scan takes just a few seconds to create a highly detailed, 3D digital image of your jawbone, nerve pathways, and surrounding tissues.

The high-resolution scans allow incredibly precise diagnosis and treatment planning, vastly elevating the patient experience, especially in more complex cases. It can be used for dental implant planning and placement, wisdom tooth removal, endodontics, and orthodontic treatment. The CBCT scan itself is minimally invasive and completely painless, requiring no prior preparation. It has significantly transformed the way we can treat our patients.

3D Intraoral Scanner

With our advanced 3D Intraoral scanner, we gently glide it over your teeth, and it’s able to create a detailed 3D image in just minutes. This digital approach to scanning removes the need for messy and uncomfortable impressions. We can create highly detailed models of your teeth, giving enhanced accuracy and a better treatment outcome. The digital data also ensures that custom aligners can be created and delivered much more efficiently.

We can show you your 3D smile on screen instantly, explaining your treatment in real time. The digital models are incredibly precise, meaning your crowns, veneers, or clear aligners will fit perfectly. The intraoral camera can also be used to effectively spot dental issues such as decay, damage, and the beginnings of gum disease.

Air polishing

Air polishing gives a deep and powerful teeth clean with instant results, making it the perfect upgrade for your next dental hygiene visit. This advanced system uses a controlled stream of warm water, compressed air, and a fine, sweet-tasting powder to gently remove plaque, biofilm, and stubborn stains from your teeth.

Because it is incredibly gentle on sensitive teeth and gums, this method offers a completely pain-free experience that eliminates the need for scraping. The innovative stream easily reaches deep into tight gaps and under the gumline, lifting away tea, coffee, and tobacco stains to reveal a brighter smile in a fraction of the time. It is also the ideal solution for patients with braces or implants, as it safely cleans around orthodontic brackets and dental work without causing any discomfort. In just one short, comfortable session, you’ll walk out with a refreshed, healthy-looking smile that feels as good as it looks.

Digital X-rays

We use cutting-edge digital X-rays to ensure the highest standards of care and accurate treatment. With exceptional clarity and detail in each image, we can easily detect and treat even the smallest imperfections and issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.

A major benefit of this modern process is that your results are ready to view immediately. The images appear on our treatment screens instantly, meaning you spend less time sitting in the chair. Because the pictures are live on our screens, they can be immediately adjusted or retaken if needed to ensure the best outcome, saving you the inconvenience of returning for further imaging later.

CAD/CAM Ceramic Veneers

We are now offering a new generation of veneers: CAD/CAM ceramic-infused veneers, a revolutionary approach to cosmetic dentistry that prioritises the health of your natural smile.

The veneers blend a modern, highly durable composite resin with real ceramic. Using advanced digital design (CAD/CAM), we can create veneers that are incredibly strong while remaining ultra-thin. This material reflects light exactly like natural tooth enamel, giving you a bright, healthy look that blends in seamlessly.

Because the material is so thin, we rarely need to heavily prepare your teeth. In many cases, we require minimal to no drilling at all, keeping your natural teeth perfectly conserved underneath. Designed with functional longevity in mind, these veneers don’t just look beautiful; they are built to withstand everyday life.
