Successful dental treatments start with an accurate and thorough diagnosis. At Dental By Design, your journey begins with a complete check of your current dental health – a physical examination by a specialist dental surgeon, in one of our three contemporary and clean dental studios. Don’t worry if you are a nervous or anxious patient – our dentists have years of experience in dealing with every type of situation… they have seen it all before. A comfortable chair and audio-visual equipment will provide plenty of distraction as the dentist and nurse get on with their check.

This initial examination is followed by a scan of your mouth using the very latest in 3D technology. This ultra-modern x-ray provides a wealth of information for the dentist in minutes. In real-time, the dentist will be able to show you on the screen any areas of concern and begin to discuss the possibilities of your treatment.

When it comes to sending the ‘impressions’ of your teeth to our dedicated lab, another piece of technology comes in to play. We use the iTero 5D – the very latest in intra-oral scanners. Utilising the most up-to-date dental wizardry, this scanner creates a perfect 3-dimensional map of your teeth and jaw which not only helps to diagnose a range of dental issues but also provides the lab with all the information they need in a high resolution digital format – all at the press of a few buttons. These ‘instant’ techniques speed up the process of creating your dental appliances saving you valuable time and getting you straight on the road to a perfect smile.

For teeth straightening treatments such as clear aligners with Invisalign, the iTero can even provide you with an immediate peek in to the future by giving you a prediction of how your new smile will look.
