Intraoral Camera
Using the intraoral camera we are able to see any part of the mouth on a computer monitor. As a result, the dentist can see any part of the mouth and consequently ensure much better dental care. Not only the dentist, the patient can also see the problem clearly and understand why the dentist wants to perform a certain procedure. The digital record is also very useful when it comes to getting the procedure accepted by the insurance companies.
Digital X-Ray
Digital X-rays are the most popular choice of imaging among dentists. They allow a close-up and accurate view of your teeth as well as of surrounding dental structures. A digital x-ray involves taking images and then inserting the images into an imaging program for a detailed view of your teeth.
The biggest advantage of digital X-rays is that they give out 80% less radiation than conventional x-ray machines. Digital imaging is very advanced and has been specially designed with the requirements of dental patients in mind.
CT Scan
Keeping in line with our state-of-the-art dental equipment, we use the advanced ‘Pax-I3D Green’ to get an accurate 3D image of your mouth. Based on the results from the Pax-I3D Green, our qualified dental specialists decide if a sinus lift or bone graft procedure is required for your unique dental needs.
The precision and accuracy offered by a Pax-I3D are far superior to equivalent images developed by 2D imaging equipment.

Panorex
Panorex is a specialized imaging machine used for dental X-rays. A panorex is able to record digital images of the whole of the head including bones, teeth and sinuses. The patient sits with her chin resting on a small ledge and the machine is able to go around the head and take accurate images.
The Panorex is able to indicate several abnormalities over a conventional x-ray. The 360 degree turn is useful in taking informative and detailed images that indicate structures, infections and asymmetries requiring medical intervention.
Naturally, advanced imaging leads to advanced medical care.
