Will 2023 be the year your practice makes the investment to upgrade from 2D imaging to 3D dental CBCT (cone beam)? If so, you’re in luck! There’s never been a better time to invest in CBCT. With more CBCT brands in the market than ever before, prices continue to get more affordable while the technology steadily improves.

The rising demand for Medit scanners among dental and specialty practices stems from the company’s mission to provide an "easy entry to digital dentistry.” Touting no monthly subscription fees, on top of being one of the most affordable intraoral scanners on the market, Medit scanners have lived up to the hype by also being able to deliver in terms of performance.

The KaVo Kerr Group has been an international leader in 2D and 3D professional dental imaging technology for many years. KaVo Kerr Group manufactures and markets a wide range of KaVo CBCT systems that meet the unique needs of dental practices with a wide range of clinical requirements.

New dental technologies come and go, but over the past decade, it appears intraoral scanners have become a mainstay. Doctors are investing in intraoral scanners to bring value to their practices, helping them maintain digital clinical records while performing treatments faster and more comfortably for patients. And, the digital format acquired through an intraoral scanner makes  working with mills, dental labs, and 3D printers easier than ever before.

If you’re considering upgrading to a dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) machine, one of the first things you should consider before getting started is cost. While prices have become a lot more affordable since the early days of CBCT thanks to increased competition (to meet increased demand) CBCT systems still represent sizable investments that require proper planning and consideration.

In February 2022, Renew Digital proudly announced the launch of our certified pre-owned lineup of intraoral scanners from top brands, including the iTero Element® Flex Foundation certified pre-owned intraoral scanner. For over a decade, you’ve known us as the leaders in extraoral dental imaging, and now we’re taking our extensive expertise into another area of advanced imaging technology with intraoral scanning.

Across the country, more and more dentists are embracing dental cone beam (CBCT) technology in their practices, oftentimes upgrading a panoramic X-ray machine to CBCT. The 3D imaging capability of a CBCT machine allows for greater in-office clinical capabilities as well as more rapid treatment planning and case acceptance. If your practice is looking to attract new patients and retain your current patients, an investment in advanced imaging technology can help you accomplish your growth goals.

In our previous article, we reviewed the top 5 medium Field of View (FOV) CBCT systems that deliver a great value for your dental practice. This week, we're reviewing the top large FOV systems for:

As the most common type of dental X-ray, the bitewing provides significant information for dentists to diagnose common dental conditions and aid in customized treatment planning for each patient. Besides showing clear images of the teeth and roots, a bitewing X-ray also shows occlusal positioning. Performing bitewing X-rays typically involves taking up to four images with a digital sensor or dental film to isolate certain areas. With the extraoral bitewing feature common in modern panorex X-ray systems, these concerns are a thing of the past.
