In today's digital age, high-quality imaging is crucial for accurate diagnostics in dental practices. Whether upgrading your current system or investing in new equipment, selecting suitable intraoral sensors is vital for providing top-notch patient care.
Among the top contenders in the market, the PrimeView™ Ultra stands out as a leading choice. This blog post will explore why this digital X-ray sensor platform is considered the last X-ray sensor you’ll ever need and answer some common questions dentists often have before purchasing.
Understanding the Importance of Intraoral Sensors in Dentistry
Intraoral sensors have revolutionized dental imaging, offering real-time, high-resolution images essential for diagnosing and treating patients effectively. Unlike traditional film X-rays, digital X-ray sensors provide clearer images, reduce exposure time, and enhance patient comfort. But with numerous options available, how do you choose the best sensor for your practice?

Common Questions Dentists Have Before Buying Intraoral Sensors
When considering a significant investment like an intraoral sensor, it's natural to have questions.
Here are some of the most common inquiries dentists have when shopping for digital X-ray sensors, along with answers that will help guide your decision-making process.
What Is the Resolution of the Sensor?
Resolution is a critical factor in the quality of images an intraoral sensor produces. The PrimeView™ Ultra offers a high resolution of 25 lp/mm, ensuring that every image captured is detailed enough to reveal even the smallest anomalies. This level of detail is essential for accurate diagnostics and effective treatment planning.
What Sizes Are Available?
Different patients require different sensor sizes. For example, size 0 or size 1 is typically used for pediatric patients, while size 2 is standard for adults. The PrimeView™ Ultra is available in four sizes—0, 1, 1.5, and 2—ensuring you have the right fit for every patient.
Is the Sensor Comfortable for Patients?
Patient comfort is a top priority, mainly when dealing with anxious or younger patients. The PrimeView™ Ultra is designed with thinness in mind, making it one of the thinnest sensors available. This design minimizes discomfort during X-rays, which can improve patient compliance and overall experience.
What Is the Cost, and Are There Any Ongoing Expenses?
Cost is always a significant consideration. The PrimeView™ Ultra offers competitive pricing, with additional discounts available for purchasing multiple sensors. The optional protection plan, priced at $595, further reduces long-term costs by covering non-warranty replacements. This plan helps ensure that your investment remains cost-effective over time.
What Kind of Warranty or Protection Plan Is Available?
The PrimeView™ Ultra comes with a standard two-year warranty. Additionally, the optional protection plan provides coverage for non-warranty replacements, offering peace of mind and helping you manage maintenance costs predictably.
Is the Sensor Durable and Reliable?
Durability is essential for any equipment used in a busy dental practice. The PrimeView™ Ultra features a Kevlar housing and an IP68 rating, making it resistant to dust, water, and physical damage. This robust design ensures that the sensor can handle the demands of daily use without compromising performance.
What Is the Sensor’s Integration Capability with Existing Systems?
Compatibility with existing systems is a crucial factor. The PrimeView™ Ultra can integrate seamlessly with most practice management and imaging software through its direct driver or TWAIN compatibility. This flexibility ensures you can incorporate the sensor into your current workflow with minimal disruption.
How Easy Is It to Install and Use?
Ease of use is another important consideration. The PrimeView™ Ultra includes concierge installation and image tuning services, making setup straightforward. The sensor is designed to be user-friendly, allowing your staff to start using it quickly and efficiently.
What Kind of Support and Training Is Provided?
Ongoing support and training are vital to maximizing the benefits of any new equipment. With the PrimeView™ Ultra, you receive expert support, including specialized image processing assistance, to ensure consistent diagnostic quality.
How Does the Sensor Compare to Competitors?
Dentists often want to know how a particular sensor compares to other options on the market. The PrimeView™ Ultra is competitively priced and offers features that match or exceed more expensive models. Its high resolution, durability, and cost-effectiveness make it a strong contender in the digital X-ray sensor market.
Is There a Demo or Trial Period Available?
Many dental offices find it helpful to test equipment before making a purchase. Although the page doesn't specify whether a demo or trial period is available for the PrimeView™ Ultra, it’s a good idea to contact the provider directly and ask about this option.
