Dental Technology in Glasgow: Planned in 3D, Before Anything Begins
The equipment matters less than what it does for you: less discomfort, fewer surprises, and treatment planned precisely before it starts. All of it is here, at St Vincent Smile.
No More Putty
A small, light wand captures your teeth in full 3D colour in a few minutes. You watch your own mouth build on screen.
- No gag-inducing impression trays
- See a simulation of your possible Invisalign smile on your own face, before you decide
- Crowns, veneers and aligners made from precise digital data
Lower Dose. Instant Images
Digital sensors need less radiation than traditional film, and the image is on screen in seconds.
- Lower radiation than film X-rays
- We zoom in and show you exactly what we see
- Images shared securely with specialists if needed
See the Bone, Not Just the Tooth
A 3D CT scan shows bone height, width and the position of nerves and sinuses. It's taken here at your consultation, so there's no referral elsewhere and no waiting.
- Essential for planning implants and full-arch treatment
- Used only when 3D detail changes the plan, as the dose is higher than a standard X-ray
- Your scan is explained to you, on screen
See the Result First
Your new smile is designed on photographs of your own face, then trialled in your mouth before any treatment.
- Proportions that suit your face, not a template
- A trial smile you can see, feel and photograph
- Changes made before anything is permanent
The Plan, Carried Out Precisely
A 3D-printed guide, made from your CT scan and digital plan, positions each MegaGen AnyRidge implant exactly where it was planned, using MegaGen's R2 guided surgery system.
- Implant position, angle and depth set in advance
- Often a smaller, less invasive procedure
- Your temporary teeth can be made before surgery day
Technology doesn't replace judgement. It informs it.Technology informs judgement.
As an engineer and a dentist, I believe great results begin long before treatment, with a precise plan, the right technology and time spent listening.
See It for Yourself
