Digital x-rays provide improved comfort of mouth x-rays and less cranial exposure to radiation. With digital x-rays, patients can have around 70% less exposure to radiation than conventional x-rays. Digital x-rays also produce larger and clearer photos to better source hard-to-see cavities and the images can be easily stored on a computer and transferred to different dentists or orthodontists for referrals. Digital x-rays are also more environmentally friendly in the long run.
With panoramic x-rays, your dentist can easily look for problems such as bone abnormalities and fractures, cysts, impacted teeth, infections, and tumours. It’s a much faster and simpler process than traditional x-rays. Also, the panoramic technique requires fewer steps compared to traditional dental x-rays, creating a more convenient and comfortable procedure for the patient.

We are excited to offer the iTero intraoral scanner to make it easier for our patients to see the concerns within the smile that we see. After a quick scan we can immediately show you the perfect 3D rendering of your teeth, complete with full-colour images for pointing out tooth decay and discoloration—both of which wouldn't show up in a mould. This is great for showing patients the concerns we have with their smiles and to use as a platform for discussing future treatment options.
Patients love the ability to see what we see and visualize their smile from our perspective. The iTero's 3D display also gives us a tremendous amount of freedom. We can spin, pinch, zoom, and process images right in front of you, making it easy to focus on even the smallest and most isolated problem areas. The iTero scans can be loaded into programs that allow us to actually show you the results of dental and orthodontic treatments such as crowns, bridges, implants, and Invisalign braces.
