Digital Scanning & X-Ray
Accurate digital imaging with lower radiation and precise planning.
Overview
Digital intraoral scanning and digital radiography replace messy impressions and film X-rays. Images appear instantly on screen, radiation exposure is significantly lower, and treatment can be planned with millimetre precision — essential for implants, crowns and aligners.

Frequently asked questions
Is digital X-ray safe?
Yes. Radiation is dramatically lower than conventional film radiography.

Can I see my own scans?
Yes, we review them with you on screen during the appointment.
