Digital Technology Offered

TRIOS Digital Impressions

The days of bulky, messy impressions are over, thanks to TRIOS digital impression. The TRIOS scanner provides more comfortable, efficient, and accurate diagnoses.

Reduced Radiation X-Rays

Digital X-rays reduce the amount of radiation exposure by 90%. This is safer for patients, and better for the environment as the digital X-rays do not create waste.

Digital Intraoral Cameras

Digital intraoral cameras provide real-time detailed images of the mouth and teeth which are displayed on a screen. This technology allows dentists to show patients existing or developing problems, so patients better understand the state of their oral health.

Digital Caries Detection

Using UV technology, these digital devices detect developing cavities that are not yet visible to the naked eye.
