Our Technology

Our Technology

A fully equipped in-house laboratory and advanced chairside diagnostics allow us to deliver precise diagnoses, efficient treatment and consistently high-quality results. By combining digital imaging, computer-guided design, and in-house manufacturing, we can plan treatments accurately and complete many procedures without relying on external laboratories.

This integrated approach allows for greater control, improved efficiency and treatment solutions designed to support long-term oral health.

CEREC CAD/CAM Digital Dentistry

CEREC CAD/CAM technology enables us to design and fabricate high-quality ceramic restorations through computer-guided design and manufacturing. Crowns, veneers and other restorations can be produced with exceptional accuracy, supporting durable and natural-looking results.

SureSmile® Clear Aligner Technology

Patheodent uses the SureSmile® system from Sirona, which allows us to design and produce clear aligners in-house. This advanced technology enables highly accurate digital planning and controlled tooth movement, resulting in predictable orthodontic outcomes.

By producing aligners on site, we can reduce treatment delays, improve turnaround times, and maintain close control over each stage of the alignment process.

Our advanced 3D imaging technology, including CBCT and intra-oral scanners, allows us to view teeth, bone and surrounding structures in exceptional detail. This improves diagnostic accuracy and helps us plan treatments such as dental implants, oral surgery and orthodontics with greater precision while minimising radiation exposure.

Full In-House Dental Laboratory

Our fully equipped in-house laboratory enables us to design and produce many restorations on-site. By keeping this process within the practice, we are able to maintain strict quality control, reduce waiting times and deliver restorations that are precisely tailored to each patient.

Having laboratory services in-house also allows our clinicians and technicians to work closely together, ensuring consistent, high-quality results and a more efficient treatment experience.
