As your dedicated oral health care professionals, we know that its extremely important to be up-to-date with the latest in dental technology. This technology helps us continuously improve our practice and the services that it offers. To that end, were excited to present to you one of our latest, state-of-the-art CBCT scanners: the KaVo Orthopantomograph OP 3D.
In comparison to standard CT or traditional X-ray scans, cone-beam technology is completely painless and does not expose the patient to harmful radiation or side effects. The process is relatively short, simple, and is done in-house. The patient sits down in the OP 3D, at which point a 360-degree rotation image around the patients mouth will be captured. Multiple images will be taken of your teeth, and the final results are ready within a couple of minutes.
At WhiteWing Dental, we take your oral health seriously. The cost of investing in the newest technology in order to provide you with the best dental care possible is one that wed happily pay, time and time again.
