We also have the Cephalometric Digital Radiograph option for taking images useful for orthodontic analysis. We have many orthodontic patients enquiring about this radiography from us.

It is equipped with a ‘child mode’, which ensures the safest X-rays for your child, and with a one-shot function the X-ray can be taken in just one image – ideal for children (and adults!) who have trouble sitting still. This can show the smallest detail to enable the most precise treatment planning.

However, we go above and beyond that to ensure that our sterilization techniques are flawless. Our team undergo extensive training and stringent protocols to follow sterilization for all instruments used.

The DIAGNOdent is a decay detection tool using laser technology. In addition to a visual examination and radiographs, the DIAGNOdent aids decay detection in areas difficult to examine.
