Advanced Digital Technology
Our Brighton & Hove and Haywards Heath sites boast state-of-the-art facilities meticulously designed and equipped with the most advanced technology available in the UK
Our Scanners
Trios Intraoral 3d Digital Scanner
We have invested in the Trios Intraoral Scanner – the finest machine on the market today. This new technology allows some patients to avoid the need to cope with the difficulty of impression taking by reducing gagging and improving comfort.
The scanner produces an incredibly accurate digital 3D image of the patient’s mouth.
Once the scan is complete, the images are passed to our onsite laboratory to allow for 3D printing of models, and manufacture of the final teeth. This is truly the future of dental technology and is available today with us.
Most dentists have not experienced this technology; we recently demonstrated this to a group of referring dentists and they were simply amazed by how advanced the technology is that we have at our disposal.
Latest Intraoral 3D Digital Scanning avoids the need to have conventional impressions
Advanced 3D CT Imaging and Computer-Guided Dental Implant Surgery
Both of our state-of-the-art facilities are specifically designed and equipped with some of the most advanced 3D digital technology available in the UK, and have been since we opened the first practice in 2006. Before this we either had to work without CT scanning, or had to refer our patients to hospital based CT scanning units.
3D digital X-Ray imaging is essential for dental implant treatment to ensure accurate planning and safe surgery. Some cases will even require 3D printed models of the CT scan and 3D printed surgical guides, something we can produce in our own on-site laboratory.
Implant surgery, as with any medical or dental intervention, requires careful planning to ensure no inadvertent damage is caused. 3D imaging allows us to look at your jawbone from all angles on a computer screen and assess very carefully what surgical options are available to you.
This imaging also allows us to plan and perform your implant surgery with complete precision, ensuring that we can safely avoid any nerves or blood vessels in the region.
We will be delighted to demonstrate this equipment to you and show you exactly what advantages this safe, affordable and non-invasive imaging technique has over normal dental x-rays.
Linking 3D CT Imaging and Intraoral Scanning – Futuristic Technology Today
We now have the ability to link the CT images to the intraoral digital images, something which may be required in more complex cases and which takes a great deal of expertise.
The results are amazing. This technology gives us a precise understanding of the patients underlying bone structure, and the relationship to the planned position of the new implant teeth. We can then utilise this information to allow for ideal outcomes, with printed surgical guides and pre-manufactured temporary teeth, made before the surgery has even started! This reduces risks, simplifies the patient’s experience in the dental chair and truly takes The Implant Centre to the forefront of technology in implant dentistry.
