A Partnership Built on Support and Quality
Dr. Yusuf, who co-founded Beverley Dental in 2018 with Ben Walker, has focused the practice primarily on root canal treatments, a field he has specialised in for over 15 years. As the practice grew, Dr. Yusuf sought a CBCT system that could meet the high standards required for complex endodontic cases. In his search, he found Vatech’s Green X system to be the ideal solution.
“Vatech offers more than just a product,” he explains. “It feels like a partnership. The team at Vatech has been consistently helpful, always offering personalised support. It’s rare to find that level of care in a supplier, and it has made all the difference in our practice.”
Why 3D Imaging is Essential for Endodontics
Endodontic procedures, particularly root canal treatments, benefit immensely from the precision offered by 3D imaging. Traditionally, dentists relied on 2D radiographs, which could miss critical details such as complex root canal anatomy or curvature. With Vatech’s CBCT technology, Dr. Yusuf has been able to visualise teeth in three dimensions, which allows for far greater accuracy in diagnosis and treatment planning.
“Three-dimensional imaging provides a far clearer view of the tooth’s internal structure. The 3D scan allows us to see canal curvatures that are often difficult to assess using conventional X-rays,” says Dr. Yusuf. “This means we can better plan our procedures, avoid complications, and ultimately provide better outcomes for our patients.”
Precision at Its Best: The Importance of Voxel Size
One of the standout features of the Vatech Green X CBCT scanner is its small voxel size, which is crucial for the level of detail required in endodontics. A voxel, akin to a pixel in a 2D image, is the tiny cube that creates the 3D scan. The smaller the voxel, the greater the detail and precision in the resulting image.
Dr. Yusuf highlights that the Green X scanner offers the smallest voxel size in the market at just 49.5 microns in Endo mode, making it particularly well-suited for root canal treatments. He notes, “With smaller voxels, we achieve much finer image resolution. This level of detail is essential for detecting smaller, complex canal systems that might otherwise be missed.”
He further explains, “In the past, I’ve used other CBCT systems, but found their image quality to be inadequate for detailed endodontic work. With Vatech, the images are consistently clear and precise, which is exactly what I need for root canal procedures.”
Increased Efficiency and Patient Satisfaction
Beyond the clinical advantages, Dr. Yusuf has found that the in-house availability of the CBCT scanner has greatly improved efficiency within the practice. Previously, sending patients to external imaging centres for scans created delays, and it was often difficult to interpret the images in time for treatment.
With the Vatech Green X scanner, however, Dr. Yusuf can take the scan during the patient’s visit, analyse the results immediately, and discuss the findings in real-time. This process reduces patient waiting times and improves treatment acceptance rates, as patients can see the 3D images and understand the proposed treatment in a more accessible way.
“The scanner not only saves us time but also enhances patient trust. When patients see the 3D images, they are impressed, and it makes explaining the treatment much easier,” Dr. Yusuf explains. “This has led to faster treatment decisions, better patient outcomes, and a more streamlined workflow.”
A Smart Financial Investment
Investing in a high-quality CBCT system was a significant decision for Dr. Yusuf, but he notes that Vatech’s Green X provides excellent value for money.
“The price point for the Vatech scanner is very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the images and the value it adds to the practice,” he says. “We financed the scanner with Braemar, and the cases we’ve been able to treat with it have paid for the system over time. It’s not an additional cost to the practice—it’s a profitable investment.”
Why Vatech?
When asked why he chose Vatech over other CBCT manufacturers, Dr. Yusuf reflects on his previous experiences with other systems, and highlights Vatech’s superior image quality and user-friendly design.
“Other scanners I’ve used didn’t offer the same level of detail required for root canal treatment,” he says. “Vatech has delivered the precision and clarity I need, and that’s why I continue to rely on it.”
He also praises the exceptional customer support Vatech provides, noting that the team is always available for assistance and that they go above and beyond to ensure the practice’s needs are met. “It’s not just about the technology; it’s about the relationship,” Dr. Yusuf adds. “Vatech’s commitment to customer support has made them an integral part of our practice.”
Conclusion: Embracing the Future of Dentistry
For Dr. Aaron Yusuf, the integration of Vatech’s CBCT technology has been a game-changer in providing more accurate diagnoses, improving treatment outcomes, and enhancing overall practice efficiency. As CBCT becomes an essential tool in modern dentistry, Dr. Yusuf’s experience with Vatech serves as a powerful testament to the benefits of embracing new technology in the pursuit of excellence in patient care.
“The ability to see a tooth in three dimensions is revolutionary for endodontics,” Dr. Yusuf concludes. “With Vatech’s CBCT technology, we can provide more precise treatments, improve patient satisfaction, and ultimately deliver better care. It’s truly transformed how we approach root canal treatment.”
