Long Story Short: 60 Years of Innovations.
Celebrate our 60-year anniversary with us and explore our legacy of extraoral imaging technology.

As more doctors embrace 3D imaging to support their digital workflow and deliver state-of-the-art patient care, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is quickly becoming a mainstay in many practices — and for good reason. CBCT technology equips practices with the ability to capture and view exceptionally detailed 3D renderings that support improved diagnostic accuracy and confidence, more predictable treatment planning, and better patient outcomes.

“The OP 3D™ LX offers all the powerful features practices know and trust from our OP 3D line, augmented with innovations for expanded flexibility, improved workflow efficiencies, and enhanced diagnostic confidence,” says Laurent Tchang, Vice President, Commercial, Europe at DEXIS. “Developed and manufactured at the PaloDEx site in Tuusula, Finland, the OP 3D LX carries the legacy of Instrumentarium™ and SOREDEX™ forward, under the DEXIS™ brand."

One look at a 3D image captured by a CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) scan, and there’s no question the level and quality of detail far surpasses 2D. Despite the clear advantages, however, some practices still have hesitations about investing in a CBCT system — thinking it’s too complex with more imaging power than is needed. Maybe it’s time to think again.

As dental technology advances, a growing number of today’s dental practices are expanding beyond general dentistry. More doctors are looking to differentiate and grow their practice while meeting a wider range of patient needs in-house. In the process of doing so, they’re also discovering the vital role 3D imaging plays in opening new possibilities for diagnosis, treatment planning and positive patient outcomes.
