Brand Reputation

Carestream Dental is an industry leader in dental imaging equipment. Specializing in 2D/3D extraoral X-ray machines as well as a robust intraoral offering, Carestream is well-known worldwide for capturing high-quality imagery with easy-to-use technology. Their durable, comprehensive X-ray machines are partnered with similarly advanced, yet simple and intuitive software.

Imaging Quality

Carestream CBCT machines are known for producing high-quality 3D scans, viewable in their robust, yet easy-to-use dental CBCT software to quickly analyze, store, retrieve, and share dental cone beam images. They also offer image resolution up to 76 μm in some models, to capture precise anatomical details.

Beyond producing high-quality 3D images, Carestream CBCT systems also include dedicated panoramic functionality to capture 2D images as needed. Options include standard, segmented, TMJ (2 or 4 views), maxillary sinus, and more. Some units also come available with a segmented panoramic to be used as an alternative to intraoral bitewing X-rays for sensitive patients.

Advanced Features

Dental professionals also often look for some of these advanced features in CBCT systems prior to making a purchase. Carestream delivers on each of them in order to ensure their products remain cutting-edge.

  • Pedo-friendly:

    CS systems offer a convenient panoramic child mode that captures only the dentition, minimizing scan time and diminishing radiation exposure.

  • Ceph-enabled (or upgradeable):

    Many CS systems are upgradeable through the manufacturer to capture cephalometric imaging.

  • Selectable 3D field of view:

    CS imaging systems allow the operator to collimate down to smaller fields of view when the largest settings are unnecessary, limiting overall radiation exposure.

  • Patient comfort:

    During imaging programming and acquisition, patients face the operator, putting them at ease and reducing stress for both patients and staff. CS ear stabilizers and bite sticks are also ergonomically designed for comfort while keeping patients properly positioned and still.

  • PHandicap friendly

    CS dental equipment was designed either for standing or sitting patients, making them ideal for patients in wheelchairs.

Versatility

Carestream Dental offers a comprehensive range of CBCT imaging for just about any dental specialty. Take a look at a few examples of the certified pre-owned Carestream Dental X-ray machines that we offer here at Renew Digital.

  • For the endodontist, dentist, or specialist placing single implants, we offer the CS 9000 3D. This unit has a small field of view (5x3.75cm) for focused, localized exams (like single implant planning), dedicated 2D panoramic imaging, and is available with an optional cephalometric attachment.
  • The CS 9300 Select can support many dental specialties including general dentists, oral surgeons, endodontists, implant specialists, and more.
