At Dentistry @ Perth, we believe every patient in Lanark County deserves the same standard of advanced dental care found in major city clinics — right here in Perth, Ontario. That is why we have invested in some of the most sophisticated dental technology available, so you receive more accurate diagnoses, more comfortable treatment, and better long-term outcomes every time you visit us.
We are proud to be one of the most technologically equipped dental practices in Lanark County, and the only office in the Perth area with an in-house CBCT 3D cone beam scanner for implant planning and guided surgery.
Our CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanner is the cornerstone of our advanced care offering. Unlike traditional flat 2D dental X-rays, our CBCT scanner produces a complete three-dimensional image of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and surrounding anatomy in a single, fast scan.
For patients in Perth, Ontario and across Lanark County, having this technology in-house means no referrals to outside imaging facilities, no additional travel, and faster treatment planning.
Paired with our CBCT scanner, our guided implant surgery software allows our doctors to plan your implant placement in complete digital detail before the procedure begins. Your 3D scan data is used to map out the precise angle, depth, and position for each implant. A custom surgical guide is then created to direct every movement during surgery — ensuring exact, predictable placement. This technology is rare in a community the size of Perth, Ontario. It means fewer complications, a more comfortable procedure, and a faster recovery for our implant patients throughout Lanark County.
We use digital X-ray technology throughout our practice, replacing traditional film X-rays entirely. Digital X-rays produce clearer, higher-resolution images while exposing patients to up to 80% less radiation than conventional film. Images appear on screen instantly — allowing our doctors to review, zoom in, and discuss your results with you in real time, right there in the chair.
Our intraoral cameras are small, pen-sized devices that capture detailed, magnified images of the inside of your mouth. We show you exactly what we see on a chairside monitor — giving you a clear understanding of your oral health and helping us explain our recommendations in a transparent, easy-to-understand way. No more guessing or taking our word for it.
Patients travelling to Dentistry @ Perth from Carleton Place, Almonte, Westport, Smiths Falls, Sharbot Lake, Lanark, and across the region can be confident they are accessing advanced dental technology Perth, Ontario rarely offers in a community dental setting.
Yes. Our CBCT scanner uses significantly less radiation than a traditional medical CT scanner — and only slightly more than a standard full-mouth set of dental X-rays. CBCT imaging is considered very safe and is used routinely in dental implant planning, wisdom tooth assessment, and complex root canal evaluation. Your doctor will only recommend a CBCT scan when the clinical benefit clearly outweighs the minimal radiation exposure.
No. CBCT scans are not used for routine dental visits. They are recommended only when detailed 3D information is genuinely needed — for example, when planning dental implants, assessing impacted wisdom teeth, or evaluating complex root canal anatomy. Standard digital X-rays and intraoral cameras are used for regular checkups and cleanings.
The most significant benefit is precision. When our doctors plan a procedure using a full 3D image of your anatomy rather than a flat 2D X-ray, they can see exactly what they are working with before the treatment begins. This means fewer surprises during procedures, lower risk of complications, faster healing, and more predictable results. For implant patients in particular, the difference in outcomes between 2D-planned and 3D-guided treatment is substantial.
