Digital diagnostics

Low-dose digital X-rays, a 3D intraoral scan and an oral cancer screening, shown to you on screen so you understand exactly what we see.

Digital diagnostics

Who it’s for /

Is it right for you?

Digital records are the foundation of every plan we write, and they are included with every check-up.

Every new patient

A baseline scan and X-rays let us measure changes accurately at future visits.

Planning treatment

Aligners, implants, crowns and veneers are all planned from digital records.

Tracking wear and gum health

Comparing scans over time shows wear, gum recession and tooth movement that are hard to spot by eye.

Second opinions

If you have been told elsewhere that you need treatment, we can review your teeth and explain the findings.

Step by step /

What happens during treatment

Every step is explained before it happens, and you can pause at any point.

01

Low-dose X-rays

Digital sensors capture images with a fraction of the radiation of film, ready on screen in seconds.
02

3D intraoral scan

A small wand captures a full-colour 3D model of your teeth and gums. No impression trays.
03

Screening

Your dentist checks your tongue, cheeks, throat and neck as part of an oral cancer screening.
04

Walkthrough

We go through the images together on screen and save them to your record for future comparison.

Results and aftercare /

What to expect afterwards

You get a clear picture of your oral health and a record we can compare at every visit, so problems are found earlier and treatment can be planned precisely.

Aftercare

  • There is nothing to recover from. You can eat, drink and go back to work straight away.
  • Ask us to email copies of your images if you would like them for your own records.
  • Tell us before your visit if you are, or might be, pregnant.

Very little. Digital sensors use up to 90% less radiation than film, and a set of bitewing X-rays is roughly equal to a day of the natural background radiation we all receive.

No. The wand is about the size of a toothbrush head and there is no impression material. Most scans take a few minutes.

No. They are included with every check-up. If a treatment such as an implant needs an additional scan, it is shown on your written estimate.
