TECHNOLOGY

The Trios 3 Shape scanner is simply incredible. We no longer have to take impressions! 

The major benefits include:

• No gagging on impressions 
• More accuare than impressions 
• Scans are e mailed to the lab for 3-D printing 
• Full digital workflow
• Digital smile design- see your new smile before any treatment!
• Treatment simulation for orthodontics- would you like to see how your teeth would look after treatment before even starting? Now you can!
• Patient monitoring. Scans taken over several months or years can be compared for any differences. A wonderful tooth to monitor tooth wear, gum recession and much more.
• Dental implant planning using Implant Studio. Fully digital planning of dental implants to ensure the correct placement and best end results.  

We have invested in this highly sophisticated technology which allows:

• fillings without drilling or any anaesthetic
• far greater healing
• sterilisation of gum pockets and root canals
• minimally invasive dental implant treatment

and MUCH more!

The future of dentistry is here at Progressive Dentistry. 

The Diagnodent Wand.

This high tech tool helps us find decay in areas which are not visible to the eye or seen on dental X-Rays. The early detection of this will mean that any decay found can be easily eliminated, and often without anaesthetic. This will help prevent more serious problems in the future along with highlighting potential areas of decay.

By adopting a prevention programme, we can prevent or even reverse the first signs of decay. The benefits are astounding, prevention or early intervention means non invasive treatment!

Digital X-Ray system: We use the most up to date digital X-Ray equipment, which means that we can achieve a reduction of up to 90% in radiation. There is also no need for toxic chemicals required for developing as the images appear directly onto the computer screen, which allows clear and in depth analysis.

Intra Oral Camera and Video: the Sopro 717 and Sopocare intra oral cameras allows us to take close up digital images of your teeth, which appear directly on the computer screen. This allows you to see areas that were never previously visible and gives a greater understanding of your treatment.

The Sopocare camera allows us to detect early tooth decay and gum inflammation using incredible autofluoresence technology; after all, prevention is better than cure!

We can also take video footage which is particularly helpful in analysing your bite.

We are now able to plan dental implants on a software package from CT scans. This means that the results are predictable and guides can be made from the planning process to eliminate any guesswork and ensure the best position for the implants.
