In-House 3D Printing
The physical mockup you wear on Vogue Day — the one that shows you exactly what your new smile will look like before any permanent work begins — is printed here, in this office, on the day it's needed.
That matters for one reason: speed doesn't compromise the result. The printer produces the accuracy and surface finish required for a wearable model that genuinely represents the final outcome. Not an approximation. Not a rough guide. Something precise enough that what you see on Vogue Day reflects what you'll see when the work is done.
The same capability supports surgical guides, occlusal splints, and other clinical applications that previously required an outside lab and a waiting period. Keeping that work in-house means fewer delays between planning and treatment, and tighter control over the output at every step.

MD 30®
Technically, MD 30® is a motor system that is used for implant operations. In fact, MD 30 is the end result of 40 years of research and development implemented by NOUVAG Company. This system is recognized in the industry as an implantology motor system. In order to maximize the efficiency of the motor system, MD 30 comes with a dual motor connection. Because of this smart approach, MD 30 reduces the workload of a dentist by a huge margin. This unit comes with 10 sophisticated programs for a smooth operation. The accuracy and safety of this masterpiece are remarkable because of the great integrated control.

Sentry Sedate®
Sentry Sedate® is introduced by Porter Instrument. As the name suggests, it is a portable nitrous oxide sedation unit which is highly useful for many types of dentistry work. Thanks to the designers, Sentry Sedate comes with a sleek and futuristic design. Precise flow meters provide exceptional reliability in releasing nitrous oxide. Easy to use, top working space offers a better utilization of floor space. As a security precaution, Sentry Sedate comes with dual locking doors. This approach assures maximum security and hides gas cylinders from the vicinity. The durability of the unit is assured because of the cast aluminum and steel construction.

Soft Tissue Laser
Dental diode laser used to cut and contour soft tissues is a tool that features so many possibilities. Since their main purpose is to cut and shape the soft tissues, these dental diode lasers are known as Soft Tissue Lasers. Because of the high-end technology integrated with this tool, it can offer precise cuts in areas like gingiva and other soft tissues. This particular equipment is capable of reducing the bleeding while increasing the healing speed. In addition to that, soft tissues are used for troughing preparations and sterilizing endodontic canals. It can also be used to treat periodontal diseases and for tooth whitening purposes.

Solea CO₂ Laser
Most patients associate dental treatment with two things: the needle and the drill. Solea removes both from most procedures.
Solea is an all-tissue CO₂ laser — the first of its kind to receive FDA approval for use on enamel, dentin, and soft tissue. It operates at a wavelength that vaporizes tooth structure and tissue precisely, without the friction, vibration, or heat that make traditional drilling uncomfortable. For most cavity preparations and soft tissue procedures, no anesthetic injection is needed. Patients who've spent years dreading the needle sit down, and there isn't one.
The practical difference goes beyond comfort. Because the laser cauterizes as it works, soft tissue procedures produce less bleeding and heal faster than conventional surgical approaches. Hard and soft tissue treatment can be handled in the same visit without switching instruments or setups. Cases that would typically require a referral to a specialist — periodontal therapy, gum recontouring, certain oral surgery procedures — stay in-house.
What we use it for:
- Cavities: Decay removed precisely, without drilling, without a shot for most patients.
- Gum recontouring: Reshaping and removal of excess gum tissue with minimal bleeding and faster recovery than conventional surgery.
- Periodontal therapy: Minimally invasive treatment for gum disease, including access to areas conventional instruments can't reach as cleanly.
- Solea Sleep: A non-surgical treatment for snoring. The laser tightens the soft palate in a single short appointment — no incisions, no recovery period, no device to wear at night.

The Wand® Digital Platform for Local Anesthesia
The Wand® is a precise system to provide anesthesia injections during dentistry work. Unlike the conventional method that numbs a larger area, The Wand® allows you to numb just the desired tooth. From a patient’s point of view, it is a huge convenience. Since the system is controlled by a computer program, the accuracy and the speed of the anesthesia work is remarkably high. In fact, The Wand® is the futuristic extension of the 150-year-old syringe technology. This system needs only 1-2 minutes instead of 8-12 minutes. The main intention of introducing this technology is to uplift the comfort of the patients.

T-Scan Bite Analysis
Articulating paper — the thin marking paper most dentists use to check your bite — can show where your teeth are making contact. It can't show how hard each tooth is hitting, or in what order.
That distinction matters more than it sounds.
Bite problems that cause tooth fractures, worn enamel, TMJ discomfort, and failing restorations are rarely about where the teeth meet. They're about force and timing — one tooth taking more load than it should, or contacts landing in the wrong sequence. Neither of those shows up on marking paper.
T-Scan measures both. A thin sensor sits between the teeth and captures the full picture in real time: which teeth are carrying the most force, which contacts are arriving early, and how the load is distributed across the whole bite. The result is a precise map of what's actually happening — not an approximation.
We use T-Scan in full-mouth rehabilitation cases and any treatment where bite reconstruction is part of the plan. When the work involves changing how teeth come together, we don't leave the outcome to guesswork.

Qube™ The Art of Monitoring
