KODAK 8100 3D CBCT Scanner
A complete 3D picture, at a fraction of the radiation.
In a single scan, our KODAK 8100 cone beam CT (CBCT) scanner builds a detailed three-dimensional picture of your teeth, jaw, and the bone that supports them. That depth of detail is what lets Dr. Raffi see exactly where to place a dental implant, how much bone is available, and where a hidden problem like an infection or an impacted tooth might be hiding, all before treatment ever begins.
Because the KODAK 8100 focuses narrowly on just the area we need to evaluate, exposure is reduced to 10 to 30 times less radiation than other dental CT systems, and you can sit comfortably during the scan instead of lying down. For patients, that means a faster, more confident diagnosis with less time in the chair.
No More Goop or Gag
Just a fast, comfortable digital impression.
The TRIOS 3Shape scanner is a state-of-the-art digital impression system that does away with messy putty trays entirely. In just a few minutes, Dr. Raffi can digitally capture a highly detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums, comfortably and accurately.
You can breathe and swallow normally throughout the scan, and pause any time you need to. Most patients find it far more pleasant than a traditional impression, and the resulting 3D model gives us a sharper picture for planning crowns, bridges, and other restorative work.
