Our acquisition of THE i-CAT Cone Beam 3-D Dental CT SCANNER means that we don’t need to send our patients to a Computer Tomography Scanning Centre. We can offer everything that our patients require in our own clinic, thus making us one of the most technologically advanced dental clinics in Europe. This equipment produces 350 megabytes of 3D images for the precise placement of implants using SimPlant Guided Surgery technology, to an accuracy of 0.5mm. The time saving for us allows us to offer such competitive prices and the patient saves time due to fewer visits.

The investment in the latest technology allows the patient to leave the chair with dental implants and permanent or temporary crowns and bridges the same day. Replacing teeth with dental implants has traditionally been associated with long periods of recuperation and high costs, but with our state-of-the-art equipment and the fact that we have our own dental lab, means that the time and the cost can be dramatically reduced.

Our experienced implant team has undertaken hundreds of implants successfully without the advantage of our own CT Scanner, but now even the most challenging of cases can be successfully accomplished without risk.

Taking a CT scan can also reduce the need of expensive bone grafting in many cases, because without a CT Scan the exact bone thickness and depth cannot be measured accurately and bone grafting may be done unnecessarily when it is not really required.

CAT Scans should not be confused with an MRI Scan which is used for the diagnosis of other problems, not associated with Dental or Oral issues.
