Cone beam 3D imager

Cone beam (Acteon)

Cone beam imaging in dentistry with Acteon is a cutting-edge technology revolutionizing the field of dental diagnostics and treatment planning. This innovative system combines cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with high-resolution panoramic radiographs, providing an incredibly accurate 3D visualization of the patient's oral structures. 

With its precise scanning capabilities, dentists can examine intricate details such as teeth, bones, nerves, and soft tissues from multiple angles. This technology allows for comprehensive evaluations of dental conditions like impacted teeth, root canal abnormalities, temporomandibular joint disorders, and even airway assessments for sleep apnea patients. Additionally, this advanced imaging solution enhances implantology procedures by offering more precise measurements for optimal implant placement and ensuring better post-operative results. Ultimately, Cone beam imaging with Acteon empowers dentists to deliver personalized treatments tailored to each patient's specific needs while minimizing risks and maximizing outcomes.

Cerec machine which allows us to create same day crowns

CEREC

CEREC, an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, is a cutting-edge technology that seamlessly combines computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) processes to create flawless restorations right in the dentist's office. 

The design phase begins with a digital scan of the patient's tooth using a 3D imaging system that captures every intricate detail. The software then analyzes this data and generates a virtual model of the crown, allowing for precise customization based on individual measurements and aesthetic preferences. Once perfected digitally, the mill stage commences as advanced equipment carves out the crown from a solid block of high-quality ceramic material selected to match natural teeth color flawlessly. Finally, during the bake phase, specialized ovens utilize intense heat to achieve crystallization within minutes. In essence, CEREC embodies efficiency by enabling dentists to provide patients with same-day restorations that exhibit unparalleled precision and aesthetics—a groundbreaking advancement benefiting both professionals and those seeking impeccable dental treatments.
