Gentle and successful treatment is often only possible with modern equipment.
When you visit the dentist you want to feel comfortable and safe, knowing you are in the best of hands. That is why, alongside a pleasant, open atmosphere, a friendly manner and dental expertise, we place equal emphasis on modern technical equipment.
Below you will find an overview of the equipment at the Dr. Nora Buchner dental practice in Munich.
Digital dentistry
iTero® and Primescan®
Your benefits
Instead of unpleasant impressions with impression material, we capture your teeth with our iTero® and Primescan® intraoral scanners – quickly, with high precision and completely contact-free. Within a few minutes we have an exact 3D model of your teeth, which we can show you right away on screen.
The digital scan is the basis for precisely fitting restorations and for planning aligner treatment.
Primescan®, Primemill® and SpeedFire
Your benefits
Combining Primescan® with the Primemill® milling unit, we produce high-quality ceramic restorations – such as inlays, partial crowns and crowns – right here in our practice. After scanning, your restoration is designed on the computer, milled from a ceramic block and fitted in the very same appointment.
The restorations are then fired and glazed in the SpeedFire furnace – making even high-strength zirconia crowns possible in a single visit. For you this means no second appointment, no temporary restoration and no conventional impression.
Orthophos SL 3D
Your benefits
With the Orthophos SL 3D we take classic panoramic X-rays as well as three-dimensional images (cone beam CT). They show teeth, root canals, jawbone and nerves in three dimensions and in fine detail.
This is particularly valuable for complex root canal treatments, for planning implants and in oral surgery – for example when removing wisdom teeth. We only take 3D images when they are medically justified, and with as little radiation as possible.
So that you feel at ease
Your benefits
To keep you comfortable even during longer treatments, all our treatment rooms are equipped with high-tech chairs that include massage and lumbar-support functions. A gentle anti-stress massage and a backrest that adapts to your lower back ensure relaxation and comfort.
You can only treat what you can see.
Your benefits
“You can only treat what you can see …” – we have made this motto our own and use magnifying loupes as standard in every treatment. They let us see even delicate structures, so we can detect and precisely treat the smallest changes in tooth enamel or gums.
With up to 25× magnification, our Zeiss® surgical microscope makes even the finest details and structures visible under perfect illumination. This allows us to look into tiny root canals that would sometimes not even be visible to the naked eye.
Gentle, low-radiation imaging
Your benefits
Compared with conventional radiology, digital X-ray equipment reduces radiation to the lowest level that is currently technically possible. Because the sensors and imaging plates are far more sensitive than traditional film, the much lower dose comes with considerably more detailed images that show even the smallest structures in the tooth or bone.
The images are also available almost immediately. This allows prompt diagnosis and dental care at the cutting edge of what is technically possible.
A picture is worth a thousand words
Your benefits
Transparency is a key part of our practice philosophy, because it builds lasting trust.
The intraoral camera records the situation in your mouth in photos and videos, so we can show you our findings and explain them precisely. We are happy to present our work in magnified, high-resolution images directly on the monitor at the treatment unit – after all, it’s about your teeth and your oral health. Would you like to see your new tooth-coloured filling, or are you curious about individual treatment steps? We’ll gladly show you.
Gentle, effective cleaning – into the smallest niche
Your benefits
Professional teeth cleaning at our practice follows the GBT concept (Guided Biofilm Therapy) and includes the AIRFLOW® powder-jet device. It removes stubborn deposits and surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine or nicotine very gently yet effectively. A pressurised mixture of water, air and a glycine- or erythritol-based powder cleans the teeth softly – right into the smallest niches and narrow gaps, for a beautiful, well-cared-for smile.
For a pleasant indoor climate
We thought about a pleasant indoor climate right from the planning stage. All treatment rooms are air-conditioned – pleasantly cool in summer and cosily warm in winter. Each room can be set individually, so we can adapt to your needs.
We look forward to your visit!
