Technology That Supports Better Care
Modern dentistry guided by precision, clarity, and comfort.
At St Anthony Dental, technology is carefully selected to enhance outcomes, improve comfort, and support accurate treatment planning. Every system we use is chosen with one goal in mind — delivering better care for our patients.
Technology Should Enhance Care — Not Replace It
We believe advanced equipment should support thoughtful clinical decisions, not automate them.
Digital tools allow us to diagnose more accurately, plan more precisely, and deliver treatment more efficiently — while maintaining the personalised, human approach our patients value.
CBCT 3D Imaging
Detailed Insight for Safer Planning
Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging provides a three-dimensional view of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures.
This allows us to:
Assess bone volume and density
Identify nerve positioning
Diagnose hidden infections
Plan implant placement with accuracy
CBCT imaging is particularly valuable for implant treatment and complex cases where precision is essential.
3D Digital Scanning
No Traditional Impressions
Digital scanning replaces traditional impression materials with precise, comfortable imaging.
Benefits include:
Greater accuracy
Improved patient comfort
Faster workflows
Clear visual communication
This technology supports restorative, orthodontic, and diagnostic treatment planning.
Planmeca Romexis Planning System
Guided, Precise Treatment Planning
The Planmeca Romexis system allows us to digitally plan complex treatments — particularly implants and orthodontics — before they begin.
This enables:
Guided implant placement
Detailed assessment of anatomical structures
Visualisation of treatment outcomes
Increased predictability
Planning digitally reduces guesswork and improves long-term stability.
Digital Diagnostics & Planning
Restorative Technology
Planmeca PlanMill
Same-Day Restorations, Crafted In-House
Our Planmeca PlanMill system allows us to design and manufacture certain restorations on-site.
Benefits for patients include:
Fewer appointments
No temporary crowns in many cases
Efficient treatment completion
High-quality, custom restorations
In-house fabrication allows us to maintain control over precision and fit.
Asiga MAX 3D Printing System
In addition to same-day milling, we utilise advanced 3D printing technology with the Asiga MAX system to support restorative and implant-based treatment.
This technology allows us to fabricate highly accurate models and surgical guides that integrate directly with our digital planning systems, improving precision from diagnosis through to final restoration.
By combining CBCT imaging, 3D digital scanning, Planmeca Romexis planning, and in-house 3D printing, we are able to create a seamless digital workflow.
This supports:
Accurate surgical guide fabrication for guided implant placement
Precise restorative planning prior to implant or crown placement
Improved prosthetic fit and alignment
More predictable restorative outcomes
Reduced reliance on external laboratories for planning stages
Rather than separating diagnosis, surgery, and restoration, our integrated digital workflow allows us to plan the final restorative outcome from the beginning.
EMS Airflow Cleaning System
Gentle, Effective Professional Cleaning
EMS Airflow uses a controlled combination of air, warm water, and fine powder to remove plaque and surface staining.
Benefits include:
Improved comfort compared to traditional methods
Effective removal of biofilm
Gentle treatment for sensitive teeth
Enhanced gum health support
This modern approach improves both effectiveness and patient experience.
Preventative Technology
In-House Digital Smile & Aligner Planning
Rather than outsourcing aligner planning to overseas providers, we manage digital smile planning within our practice.
This allows us to:
Tailor movement carefully
Make adjustments during treatment
Respond to real-time progress
Maintain oversight throughout care
Local planning provides flexibility and personalised control.
Why Technology Matters
Technology improves care when it:
Enhances diagnostic accuracy
Reduces treatment time
Improves patient comfort
Increases long-term predictability
Supports minimally invasive approaches
Every tool we use is selected to improve your experience and outcomes — not simply to modernise our clinic.
A Balanced Approach
While technology plays an important role, it never replaces clinical judgement or communication.
We combine:
Digital precision
Clinical experience
Thoughtful planning
Patient-centred care
This balance allows us to deliver modern dentistry with clarity and compassion.
