Dental Technology at Our UBC Clinic

Equipment matters only in so far as it makes diagnosis clearer and treatment shorter. Here is what we use and why.

Digital X-rays

Far lower radiation than film, and the image appears instantly so we can show you what we are seeing instead of describing it.

A montage of the clinic's equipment: an iTero intraoral scanner, a mouth shown live on a monitor, a panoramic X-ray unit, smile-design software and a curing light

Intraoral cameras

A small camera that puts the inside of your mouth on a screen. It turns 'you have a crack on the lower left' into something you can judge for yourself.

3D scanning for Invisalign

Digital scanning replaces the impression tray for Invisalign - no putty, no gagging, and a 3D preview of where your teeth will end up.
