Detailed Diagnosis

This is the Sirona Axeos 3D CBCT machine. This is also the starting point for every patient and an invaluable tool in the diagnosing and treatment planning processes. The machine is unique in that it produces incredibly sharp, large volume images - perfect for implant and rehabilitation dentistry.

3D Scanned

The Trios 4 by 3Shape produces extremely accurate 3D scans of patients’ mouths, replacing traditional impressions. When merged with the 3D volumes created by the CBCT machine, these 3D scans make digital implant and rehabilitation planning possible. They are an excellent visual tool to show the treatment process.

Full Frames

The taking of well-oriented and accurately lit photographs greatly enhances case planning and the digital design process. Most cases involve a photography session to capture the necessary information for case planning. Dr van Niekerk is fanatical about photography and only uses the best equipment to achieve consistent, quality images.

3D Printed

Able to print a host of different biocompatible materials, the 3D printer allows digital scans and designs to be processed in a clean and accurate workflow. Used to print prototypes, models guides and much more, the power of 3D printing in dentistry is unparalleled, offering novel treatment solutions.

Precise Milling

This PM7 5-axis milling machine from Ivoclar® is a behemoth and central to the clinic’s production facility, capable of milling and finishing a host of materials to an industry-leading standard in accuracy. We produce complex implant frameworks previously outsourced to offshore labs, reducing treatment timeframes and costs.
