Advanced Dental Diagnostics in Acton, Ealing & West London
At Atrium Clinic, we use advanced dental diagnostic technology to assess oral health, detect dental problems early and plan treatment with greater precision.
Our dental clinic in Acton, West London, welcomes patients from Ealing, Chiswick and surrounding areas. Our diagnostic equipment includes 3D CBCT scanning, digital dental X-rays, intraoral scanning, intraoral cameras and dental microscopes.
1. CBCT Scan – 3D Dental Imaging
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced dental imaging technique that produces detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, tooth roots, jawbone and surrounding anatomical structures.
A 3D dental scan is particularly valuable for dental implant planning, complex root canal treatments and difficult tooth extractions. It allows dentists to assess bone volume, identify the position of nerves and sinuses, and investigate infections or complex root canal anatomy that may not be clearly visible on conventional dental X-rays.
At Atrium Clinic in Acton, we use 3D dental imaging when additional diagnostic information is needed to support accurate treatment planning.
2. Digital Dental X-rays
Digital dental X-rays are an essential part of modern dentistry, allowing dentists to identify problems that may not be visible during a routine dental examination.
They help detect tooth decay between teeth, infections around tooth roots, assess previous root canal treatments and evaluate bone levels around the teeth.
Panoramic dental X-rays (OPG) provide a broader view of the teeth and jaws, helping dentists assess wisdom teeth, jawbone structures and overall dental health.
Our dental X-ray services support preventive, restorative and general dental care for patients in Acton, Ealing, Chiswick and West London.
3. Intraoral Scanner – Digital Dental Impressions
An intraoral scanner creates a highly detailed 3D digital model of your teeth without the need for traditional impression materials.
Digital dental impressions are used when planning and creating dental crowns, bridges, veneers, night guards and orthodontic appliances, including Invisalign and SPARK clear aligners.
The technology also allows dentists to monitor changes in tooth position and wear over time. Patients can view a digital model of their teeth on a computer screen, helping them better understand their treatment options.
4. Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera is a small, high-resolution device that captures enlarged images of the teeth and gums.
It helps dentists identify visible tooth decay, cracks, worn or damaged fillings, and changes affecting the gums. Images can also be recorded to document dental conditions before and after treatment.
By displaying these images on a screen, we can show patients areas of concern and explain recommended treatment more clearly.
5. Dental Microscope – Microscopic Dentistry
A dental operating microscope provides high magnification and enhanced illumination, allowing dentists to examine fine details that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Dental microscopes are particularly valuable in microscopic root canal treatment (endodontics). They help dentists locate narrow or additional root canals, identify cracks, locate broken instruments and investigate possible causes of previous root canal treatment failure.
Microscopic dentistry can also improve the precision of restorative procedures by helping dentists assess damaged tooth structures and the margins of existing restorations.
