Dental Technology in Comely Bank, Edinburgh: Planned in 3D, Before Anything Begins
What counts is not the equipment but what it gives you: more comfort, fewer surprises and treatment mapped out precisely in advance. Everything on this page is on site at Comely Bank Dental.
No More Putty
A slim, lightweight wand records your teeth in 3D and full colour within minutes, while you watch your mouth take shape on screen.
- No impression trays to make you gag
- Preview a simulated Invisalign result before making up your mind
- Accurate digital data for making crowns, veneers and aligners
Lower Dose. Faster
A digital sensor uses a lower dose than old-style film, and the picture appears on screen within seconds.
- A smaller dose than film X-rays
- We enlarge the image and show you what we can see
- Secure sharing with specialists when it's needed
See the Bone, Too
A 3D CT scan measures the height and width of the bone and shows where nerves and sinuses lie. We take it here during your consultation, so you aren't sent elsewhere or kept waiting.
- Key to planning implants and full-arch treatment
- Taken only when 3D detail would alter the plan, because the dose exceeds a standard X-ray
- We go through your scan with you on screen
See the Result First
We design your new smile on photos of your face, then try it in your mouth before treatment begins.
- Proportions chosen for your face, not a stock template
- A trial smile to look at, feel and take photos of
- Adjustments made while nothing is yet permanent
Placed as Planned
With MegaGen's R2 guided surgery system, a 3D-printed guide built from your CT scan and digital plan places each MegaGen AnyRidge implant in exactly the planned position.
- Each implant's position, angle and depth decided beforehand
- Frequently a smaller, less invasive operation
- Temporary teeth can be prepared ahead of the surgery
Technology informs judgement. It never replaces it.
Trained as both an engineer and a dentist, I think a good result starts well before treatment: with an exact plan, the right equipment and time taken to listen.
See It for Yourself
At every consultation, your dentist goes through your scans with you on screen.
