Digital Technology
Kavo OP 3D Pro CT Scanner
We use the Kavo Orthopantomograph OP 3D Pro panoramic and cone beam system, for more complex procedures such as implants or impacted teeth, when a CT scan of the jaw is an essential step for early assessment.
Using 3D scanning technology gives us an insight into:
- Bone density – including quality and quantity of bone for implants
- Airway viability – to avoid complications during surgery
- Jaw mobility – to help correct locking or clicking jaws
- Nerve positioning – to plan safer procedures and avoid damage
The more we know about your teeth and jaw, the more effective we can be in solving your problems and restoring your smile.
Fast, effective and convenient
With the state of the art KaVo OP 3D scanner, you can be assessed in minutes, instead of waiting for months and travelling for hours.

What are the benefits of an Intraoral Scanner?
The scans produced are more precise and accurate than conventional impressions so we can provide the best result possible with your dental restoration.
The ability to show patients their own unique dental makeup means everyone receives a highly personal dental consultation. Patients can ask much more specific questions about treatment when they can easily see the position of each individual tooth. This allows our dentists to ensure all concerns are addressed and the dental treatment plan explained, in detail, to all our patients. The fact that the scan is so detailed and fast means your Dentist can spend more time on patient care and service.
Dental Microscope
The high powered magnification of the microscope allows for pristine and perfect dental work.
Enhanced magnification can improve in the accuracy of tooth preparations and margins, allowing for more conservative treatments and can be kinder and gentler to adjacent teeth & restorations as well as the supporting soft tissues.
We routinely use the Dental Microscope adding to the state of the art equipment used in all of our dental services.
The microscope delivers brilliant optics with sharp, crystal-clear images and fine focus in high resolution detail in natural colours (apochromatic optics) for the techs among you!
The high-contrast colour temperature of the LED lighting strongly resembles daylight. In addition, the even lighting of the field of vision makes work less fatiguing. Further advantages are the long durability of some 50,000 hours and the low electricity consumption. The LED lighting is noiseless and generates only minimum heat.
The microscope manufacturers have placed great emphasis on the ergonomics since dentists often complain about neck pain and backache. It ensures our dentists are always seated comfortably in an ergonomic upright position and hence are so much more relaxed whilst using this technology.
SprintRay 3D digital printer
At Hale Dental & Implant Clinic, we now have the cutting-edge SprintRay 3D digital printer, allowing us to create our own custom implant surgical guides.
This impressive equipment can 3D print advanced models and manufacture highly accurate crown and bridge models, surgical guides, castable and pressable restorations, as well as long-term, biocompatible dental products like splints, retainers, dentures, nightguards, whitening trays, prototypes, and anaesthetic wax ups.
The printer precisely identifies the angles of your mouth and the position of your existing teeth. This revolutionary technology ensures that our surgical guides can be printed immediately to place the dental implant with unparalleled accuracy, making the entire procedure smoother and increasing the long-term success of your dental implants. It also significantly reduces surgery times, recovery periods for our patients and enhances the accuracy and fit of your applications.

Our 5* Reviews
“Such good care at Hale Dental. Everyone there is so kind and efficient- I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend- and I have done!”
“I started dental implant, my experience was really positive, very professional and kind staff, high level of experience and preparation. Although not related to medical performance very cozy and nice studio, helps to make the patient feel comfortable.”
“Hale dental and implant clinic is probably the best place to visit if you have dental worries. Care and kindness shown to patience is really outstanding and very rare. I thoroughly recommend it…”
“Once I had made my decision to have a large tooth from the back of my mouth removed (after speaking to 2 consultants at the practice to get all the options clear in my mind), my appointment was quickly made and even though I was quite nervous Richard was so kind and patient with me. It was quite a difficult extraction (but absolutely no pain) and I expected to be sore and swollen the next day – but to my surprise all was fine. I can highly recommend Hale Dental and especially Richard.”
“I was recommended by my Dentist to Richard who I found very caring and professional.Everything was explained about the procedure for my implant and post surgery and felt no pain throughout the surgery.Also a thanks to Louise and supporting staff who were most friendly.I would highly recommend this Practice.”
“Myself and my family have been attending Hale dentist from when they first opened ,they have done so much for my teeth I can’t thank them enough especially Richard who has done so much to gelp restore my teeth , his skills in dentistry is second to none i would never trust anyone else , the staff are all so helpful and friendly especially Bernadette who works on reception i feel I’ve known her all my life , if your looking for a dentist to give you back your smile then Hale Dentist is the place to go , thank you to you all .”
“I am extremely nervous of dentists after a bad experience. All the staff here have been fantastic and after a years worth of dental work I am more than pleased with the results, pain free and have lost that extreme dread and fear that I used to feel at the dentist. Very caring reception staff 👍👍👍”
“I would highly recommend Hale Dental and Implant Clinic to everyone. They are not just professional but extremely kind, helpful and sensitive at what can be a very nervous time. From Hayley on reception who was so friendly and took time out to explain there were road works and it may delay my journey, to Donna, my care coordinator, who was so positive and reassuring to Jonny my dentist who is the most understanding and patient practitioner I have come across in all my time visiting the dentist. I would not go any where else. Thank you to all of you.”
“I had reached 61 years of age and never had my teeth received the priority they required. Work, children and wider family had always come first. As a result I presented Jonathan Crockett with quite a mess to fix which he and his assistants then set about methodically. It required lots of new and replacement crowns, one extraction and an implant. And now I have no discomfort and a nice white smile. I happily recommend Jonathan Crockett both for his expertise and gentle good humour. And let’s not forget Diane Hunter, the dental hygienist, who is wonderful beyond measure.”
