We use a range of advanced dental technology, including 3D CBCT scanning, iTero digital scanning, Tupel 3D implant scanning, digital X-rays and dental magnification.
A CBCT scanner creates detailed 3D images of your teeth, roots, jawbone, nerves and surrounding anatomy. We use it for treatments including dental implants, complex extractions, impacted teeth, and other cases that require more detailed planning.
Yes. A normal dental X-ray produces a two-dimensional image, while CBCT creates a three-dimensional view that allows your dentist to assess structures from multiple angles.
iTero is a digital intraoral scanner that creates a detailed 3D model of your teeth and gums without relying on traditional putty impressions.
We use iTero for treatments including Invisalign, crowns, bridges, restorative dentistry, implant restorations and digital smile planning.
Tupel 3D is a specialist implant scanner used to accurately record the position and angle of multiple dental implants when designing implant-supported teeth.
In many cases, yes. Digital scanners can record your teeth and bite without using trays filled with impression material, making the process more comfortable for many patients.

Advanced imaging and scanning give our dentists more detailed information for diagnosis and treatment planning. This can improve precision, particularly for dental implants, orthodontics, restorative treatment and oral surgery.
Yes. The Smiles Studio uses modern digital technology as part of treatment across our practices in Chandler’s Ford and Lymington, Hampshire.
