New technology
At A.G. Smiles, we use cutting-edge digital dentistry to enhance the quality, precision and comfort of your treatment.
We use an intraoral 3D scanner to capture a precise digital impression of your teeth — no messy physical moulds. The scanner completes full-arch scans in under 20 seconds, with a lightweight, ergonomic design built for comfort during your appointment. This digital scan feeds directly into our in-house digital planning process, helping us plan your treatment with a high level of accuracy and comfort from your very first appointment.
Once your treatment has been digitally planned, we use our in-house SprintRay Midas 3D printer to produce dental restorations on-site, quickly and to a high standard of precision. In many cases, this means you can leave with your final restoration on the same day, rather than a temporary solution while it's made off-site — which can take up to three weeks.
A more complete view of your health
Your mouth can provide important clues about what is happening in the rest of your body. As part of your dental examination, we offer a simple screening using the Dentognostics oral analyzer.
The screening assesses aMMP-8, a biomarker associated with collagen breakdown. Elevated levels may indicate an increased risk of tissue and bone degradation linked to periodontal disease, sometimes before noticeable symptoms appear.
We also provide a Vitamin D test. Vitamin D plays an important role in immune function, bone health and the body's ability to support healthy gums and surrounding tissues. Identifying low Vitamin D levels can provide valuable information when assessing your oral and overall health.
By combining oral biomarker screening with Vitamin D testing, we can gain a broader understanding of factors that may affect your dental health. These results can help us develop a more tailored prevention and treatment plan, which may include closer monitoring, periodontal care, lifestyle guidance or appropriate referral to another healthcare professional.
Our goal is to look beyond the teeth alone—to support healthier gums, stronger foundations and better overall wellbeing.
These screening tests are not intended to replace a medical diagnosis. Your results will be discussed with you and, where appropriate, we may recommend follow-up with your doctor or another healthcare professional.
