With over 50 years of Finnish dental engineering excellence, the Planmeca Viso® G7 represents the pinnacle of cone beam 3D imaging. Because our Santa Monica center is 100% dedicated to diagnostic imaging, every patient benefits from hospital-grade 3D clarity at a flat $49 price.
Scientifically proven 3D imaging algorithms reduce effective patient radiation dose by up to 77% - often lower than a standard 2D panoramic X-ray - strictly adhering to the ALARA principle without sacrificing diagnostic detail.
Intelligent movement correction (CALM™) cancels out slight patient motion so retakes are rarely needed, while Metal Artifact Reduction (ARA™) eliminates streaks around existing crowns, bridges, and titanium implants.
Creates ready-to-use 3D volumes for virtual implant placement, nerve tracing, and surgical guides in Planmeca Romexis®, NobelClinician, 3Shape, Blue Sky Plan, and all standard dental CAD/CAM suites.
Planmeca Viso® G7 adjusts the 3D volume freely from Ø 3×3 cm up to Ø 30×30 cm so your dentist gets the exact anatomy needed with minimal radiation exposure.
