Intraoral X-ray machines remain essential tools for diagnostics and treatment planning. Whether you’re placing implants, assessing root canals, or checking for caries, high-quality 2D imaging helps you make informed clinical decisions.
Why Intraoral X-ray Still Matters
Quick diagnostics: Ideal for immediate chairside evaluation.
Low radiation exposure: Modern DC technology reduces patient dose without compromising image quality.
Compact and space-saving: Wall-mounted options suit surgeries of any size.
Cost-effective: Reliable imaging without the investment of a CBCT.
When paired with a high-quality sensor, intraoral X-ray machines deliver sharp, detailed images that support faster diagnosis and treatment acceptance. We supply systems from leading brands like Acteon, Carestream, and Eighteeth—each offering trusted performance and integration with your current setup.

For years, phosphor plate scanners have been the go-to for many UK practices. They’re affordable, reliable, and one unit can serve multiple surgeries—making them a cost-effective choice for busy clinics.
Direct USB sensors like the Carestream RVG range were once seen as the gold standard. They offer instant imaging, reduce patient waiting time, and eliminate the need for scanning plates. The downside? High upfront costs often made them harder to justify—especially for smaller or multi-room practices.
The NanoPix sensor from Eighteeth offers the speed and image quality of a direct sensor at a fraction of the price. It delivers sharp, high-resolution images instantly and plugs directly into any surgery setup.
