At Hants County Dental Centre, we make a point of bringing in the most recent and proven dental tech because it helps us offer faster, more accurate, and more enjoyable care to our patients. Get to know some of the digital tools that ensure a high level of care for you and your family!

Digital X-rays and Panorex imaging

Our digital X-ray technology includes a panoramic view that captures your entire mouth in one fast, high-resolution image. It’s quick, safe (thanks to low radiation levels), and very effective at identifying issues early. The result? More accurate diagnoses, more personalized treatment plans, and less time in the chair.

iTero 3D digital scanner

Say goodbye to messy impression trays. The iTero scanner creates precise, 3D digital models of your teeth in minutes—no discomfort, no gagging. Whether you’re getting Invisalign, a crown, or a bridge, this technology ensures a better fit and a smoother process from start to finish.

Intraoral camera technology

With our tiny, high-definition cameras, we can share real-time images of your teeth and gums with you during your appointment. It’s a great tool for education and transparency, helping you fully understand your oral health and feel confident about your treatment choices.

Sedation dentistry

Anxious about your treatment? We offer modern sedation options to help patients relax during their visit. Our sedation techniques include oral, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation. Each has its own benefits (don’t worry, we’ll discuss them with you!) But all ensure a more pleasant and stress-free dental experience.

VELscope cancer detection

Our practice uses VELscope technology during routine exams to check for early signs of oral cancer, even before symptoms appear. It’s completely non-invasive and only takes a few minutes, but the peace of mind it offers is priceless.

Sleep apnea dental solutions

If you struggle with snoring or poor sleep, we offer custom dental appliances designed to help manage sleep apnea—often eliminating the need for a CPAP machine. We can create a solution that helps you sleep better and feel more energized.

Zoom! Professional Whitening

In just one appointment, Zoom! Whitening can brighten your teeth by several shades. It’s safe, powerful, and perfect when you want fast results—whether it’s for a special occasion or simply to boost your everyday smile.
