Our Technology
World Class Dental Technology
Here at Bamford Dental Practice we have invested heavily in the very latest equipment and technology. Using world class technology, our team of experts can plan and carry out treatments with a high degree of precision and predictability.Endodontic Microscope
The use of a microscope can assist with root canal treatment. Often root canal treatment is simple particularly with front teeth. With multi-rooted teeth the procedure can be more complex and referral to a Specialist may be advised. The use of a microscope to magnify the root canals can increase the chances of success with root treatment.
Intra-Oral Scanner
Below is a video detailing our Itero intra-oral scanner which produces digital pictures of teeth which can be sent to our Laboratory to assist with orthodontic treatment, dental implant treatment and aesthetic crown and bridge cases without the need for taking impressions.

X-ray Equipment
We have modern digital x-rays to take pictures of teeth inside the mouth. In addition to this standard dental x-ray facility, we have a state of the art combined Cone Beam CT Scanner/DPT (Dental Panoramic Tomogram) and a lateral cephalometric machine on site to allow quicker treatment times and to avoid referral to other centres for these investigation.

The CT scanner generates images of the teeth and jaws in 3 dimensions to give a millimetre accurate assessment of teeth, bone, nerves and other important dental structures.
The DPT machine moves around the face to give a fast and accurate 2 dimensional view of the teeth and jaws to aid diagnosis and treatment planning.
The Lateral Cephalometric machine takes a side view of the skull and lower jaw.
These additional facilities are particularly useful for planning orthodontic and dental implant treatments. This on site technology means quicker diagnosis, fewer visits and avoids referral to another site to have the tests performed.
Implant Equipment
We provide a full range of dental implant procedures including bone and soft tissue grafting. We have state of the art equipment and only use evidence based materials*. The majority of implants placed are from Dentsply Implants who have more than 20 years of clinical evidence and documentation in this field.

*evidence based materials are materials for which detailed research exists in both clinical effectiveness and patient safety.
