Equipment and facilities

Dental CT is a device that captures a three-dimensional image of the inside of your mouth. It lets us accurately see bone thickness and height, and the position of nerves and blood vessels, in detail that conventional X-rays could never show.

This lets us plan safer treatment across a wide range of procedures, including wisdom tooth extraction, dental implants and root canal treatment. Scanning is quick, and the radiation dose is far lower than a medical CT scan, so you can have the scan without worry.

iTero is an intraoral scanner that optically scans the inside of your mouth and turns it into digital data. In place of a traditional impression (silicone mold), simply holding the dedicated scanner in your mouth captures accurate 3D data of your teeth.

Because there’s no clay-like impression material to put in your mouth, even patients with a strong gag reflex or who find traditional impressions difficult can be scanned with far less discomfort. We also use it for clear aligner orthodontic treatment (Invisalign) and making crowns, for more precise, better-fitting treatment.

Magnifying loupes let us view the treatment site magnified several times over. We can carry out treatment while keeping a close watch on fine detail that would be hard to see with the naked eye.

This keeps drilling to the necessary minimum and improves the fit of fillings and crowns. In root canal treatment too, it helps us locate the entrance of narrow root canals accurately, raising the success rate of treatment.

The extraoral vacuum is a device that powerfully draws away the tooth debris, metal particles, saliva and blood that scatter during treatment. It keeps the air in the treatment room clean and helps prevent infection within the clinic.

It stops patients and staff from breathing in the dust produced during treatment, providing a safer treatment environment.

Airflow is a cleaning device that sprays fine powder and water at high pressure to efficiently remove dirt and staining on the surface of your teeth. It lifts staining from coffee, tea, tobacco and the like without damaging the tooth.

It can also reach dirt between teeth and around periodontal pockets that ordinary cleaning struggles to remove, so it’s effective for preventing periodontal disease and maintaining oral hygiene too. Adding it to your regular maintenance helps you keep healthy, beautiful teeth for longer.

Digital X-ray is characterized by a far lower radiation dose than conventional X-rays. You can check the image right after it’s taken, which shortens the time it takes to reach a diagnosis.

You can also zoom in on the image and adjust its brightness, allowing a more accurate diagnosis. It produces no waste fluid such as developing solution, making it a more environmentally friendly system too.

We keep an AED on site in case of emergency. Our staff have been trained in how to use it, so we’re ready to respond quickly.

We have high-performance air purifiers installed throughout the clinic, keeping the air clean at all times so you can relax comfortably.

To provide safer, more precise treatment, we actively introduce a wide range of medical equipment. We use this equipment to plan the treatment best suited to each individual patient.

It’s not just about equipment. We also put real effort into improving our staff’s skills. We regularly take part in seminars and study sessions, working to keep our knowledge and technique up to date.
