Serious scanning.
Sensible price.
The Helios 500 strips away the cost and complexity that keep practices on putty. No power box, no subscription, no manual calibration — just plug in and scan, with AI doing the hard work in the background.
Plug & Scan
One USB 3.0 cable — no bulky power box to find space for. The cable is detachable for easy handling and storage. Connect a compatible laptop and you're scanning.
AI-Assisted Scanning
Built-in AI filters out soft and moving tissue as you scan, giving a smooth, natural-looking result and a forgiving experience — even for teams new to digital.
Accurate Where It Counts
20μm full-arch and under-10μm single-tooth accuracy (verified by a third-party testing agency) — comfortably within clinical requirements for crown, bridge and ortho work.
185g — Genuinely Light
One of the lightest scanners on the market. Well-balanced and ergonomic, with an attitude sensor for smoother handling around the patient and less fatigue over a busy list.
Cloud Software — No Subscription
Helios software is included with no monthly fees. 100GB of free cloud storage makes sharing cases and lab orders simple. Exports STL / PLY / OBJ to exocad and all major CAD platforms.
Calibration-Free & Versatile
Automatic adaptive calibration — no manual calibration step for accuracy or colour. Two tip sizes (L & S), a removable 180° reversible tip, and an anti-fog, powder-free LED design.
Helios 500 in the clinic
Eighteeth Digital Academy
Free training videos, scanning tips, clinical cases, and workflow guides.
More than a scanner.
Every Helios 500 ships with the full Helios software suite — the same clinical and patient-communication tools that help you present cases, plan treatment and win more patients. Included, with no subscription.
AI Health Report
The Helios AI Health Report visually presents oral-health conditions and treatment plans — clearer diagnosis and far better doctor–patient communication in the chair.
Orthodontic Simulation
AI-powered automatic tooth alignment shows a clear before-and-after, helping patients see the outcome and say yes with confidence. (Requires an NVIDIA graphics card.)
Model Builder
Add bases to 3D models directly in the software — quicker for orthodontic work and easier to save and share finished models.
100GB Cloud Storage
Free cloud storage with every scanner. Share orders and cases with your lab and colleagues in a couple of clicks.
Air Mouse
Use the scanner itself as a mouse to drive the software and rotate 3D models — no need to keep reaching for the keyboard mid-scan.
Full Clinical Toolkit
Implant workflow, occlusion analysis, undercut detection, margin-line drawing, tooth measurement, texture mapping, intraoral camera mode and more — built in.
Meet its more able sibling.
The Helios 500 is the ideal entry into digital. If you need true wireless freedom or you're doing full-arch implant work, its bigger sibling — the Helios 700 — steps up on every front.
Go wireless with the Helios 700
The Helios 700 adds true WiFi (no cable, no dead spots), a higher 16μm full-arch accuracy, 24-bit true colour, a 100-minute battery, and the Orion full-arch implant system for All-on-X and complex multi-implant cases.
Not sure which fits your practice? We'll talk it through and let you try both.
