Precise planning for straighter teeth and your dental implants placement

At High St Dental Care, we make use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning within our dental practice. This is a sophisticated, pain-free way of helping us to gather the information we need about your teeth, nerves and jaw, so that we can complete your treatment as successfully as possible.

Our scanning technology gives us unparalleled insight into the structure of your teeth, jaw and gums, so we can ensure we can perform your dental implant surgery successfully. For some orthodontic treatments that involve adjusting the position of your teeth, we may use CBCT scanning technology. This will give us a better understanding of your teeth and bone structure so we can accurately plan your treatment.

“100% recommend!”

“I cannot believe the results Invisalign has achieved. I now have straight teeth again and I couldn’t be happier with the results. After being really self conscious about showing my teeth to people, I now can’t stop showing people my smile! I would 100% recommend for anyone thinking about getting Invisalign to do it! And I couldn’t recommend high street dental care enough!”
