Dentsply Sirona Intra Oral Scanner
PrimeScan intraoral scanning for comfort and precision
The Dentsply Sirona PrimeScan intraoral scanner offers a significant upgrade to dental practice by providing exceptional speed, precision, and patient comfort. It captures highly detailed, photorealistic 3D digital impressions of the entire mouth—including deep cavities and challenging surfaces. This not only increases clinical efficiency but also allows for instant visual review, immediate error correction, and seamless electronic transfer of data to labs or partners.
The benefits of the PrimeScan over normal (analogue) impressions are substantial: it completely eliminates the mess, bad taste, and gag reflex associated with traditional impression putty and trays, leading to a far more comfortable and less time-consuming patient experience. The resulting digital data is also inherently more accurate, reducing the risk of material-related distortion, requiring fewer retakes, and ensuring a better-fitting final restoration (like a crown or bridge), ultimately leading to reduced chair time and a more predictable clinical outcome.
EMS Airflow Hygiene Technology
EMS Airflow is a sophisticated air polishing system that uses a combination of air, water, and a specially formulated powder to clean teeth and gums. Unlike traditional scaling or manual cleaning methods, EMS Airflow delivers a powerful yet gentle clean that removes plaque, stains, and biofilm without the need for sharp tools or invasive procedures.
Key Benefits of EMS Airflow
- •Gentle on Teeth and Gums: Uses a softer approach with fine powder and gentle airflow, making it excellent for individuals with sensitive teeth, gum recession, or periodontal disease.
- •Effective Plaque and Stain Removal: Highly effective at removing both plaque and extrinsic stains caused by food, coffee, tea, and tobacco. Reaches hard-to-reach areas between teeth, along the gum line, and around dental implants or crowns.
- •Improved Gum Health: Gently flushes out bacteria and debris from the gum line, reducing harmful biofilm that can lead to gum disease.
- •Less Time, More Comfort: Fast, efficient treatment that often takes only a few minutes, meaning less time in the dentist's chair and less discomfort overall.
- •Great for Dental Implants and Restorations: Particularly effective in maintaining dental implants, crowns, and bridges. The system's gentle cleaning power makes it safe for use around delicate dental work.
- •No Need for Anaesthesia: Because of its non-invasive and gentle nature, EMS Airflow typically does not require anaesthesia or numbing agents, making it ideal for those with dental anxiety.
Maintenance Treatment for Gum Disease and Implant Patients
Air flow dental cleaning technology allows more comfortable, heated, less abrasive scale and polishes and maintenance treatment for gum disease and implant patients. This advanced technology follows the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) recommendations on Professional Mechanical Plaque Removal (PMPR) and Oral Hygiene Instructions (OHI) for Home Care.
EMS Airflow Hygiene Technology is transforming the way we think about dental cleanings. With its combination of effectiveness, comfort, and efficiency, it offers a gentle, fast, and highly effective solution for maintaining optimal oral health.

Luci Wiggs
I cannot recommend them highly enough. My whole family and I have always found Dr Ranj Hothi and the wider team to be kind, helpful, informed and to offer a really first-rate service based on the most recent evidence - also with fun and a smile! I want to say a particular thank you to Ranj and his nurse Amy for their exceptional treatment of my son today - who is very needle phobic. They succeeded where others have failed due to their patience, calmness, and kindness. Thank you to you both.
