Using low dose digital x-ray and the latest intra-oral digital iTero Lumina scanner, we will demonstrate to you any problem areas and help you understand treatment options available to you thought the iTero Oral Health Suite.

You will also be asked to complete a confidential medical history questionnaire. This is important before we plan or start any treatment for you.
