ADAM BENO, DMD, FICOI
After earning his DMD from Nova Southeastern University in 2009, Dr. Adam Beno returned to his hometown of Fort Myers, FL, and took over the practice of his childhood dentist. He has earned a Fellowship with the International Congress of Oral Implantology and is a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and the International Team for Implantology, as well as various state and local associations. |
Exceptional Image Quality for Powerful Implant Planning
The ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH™ OP 3D™ x-ray imaging system is easy to operate with exceptional image quality and multiple FOV options

A powerful and easy-to-use x-ray imaging system, the OP 3D has a small footprint with big benefits—including 4 resolutions and 4 predefined 3D volumes, plus the possibility to customize the volume size. Here, Dr. Adam Beno shares how the OP 3D has streamlined implant planning, improved patient care, and exceeded his expectations.
I decided to purchase a CBCT unit for my practice for a variety of reasons, but especially because I wanted to start planning more implant cases for my patients. After researching various options, I decided to purchase the OP 3D x-ray imaging system because of its small footprint, which meant it would fit into my office quite easily, while still offering great features and field-of-view (FOV) options. For example, the user interface is sleek and simple to operate, and the unit will accommodate a wide range of patient types, including those in a wheelchair. I also appreciate that we can take a scan of a single tooth area for endodontics or a single-tooth implant using a 5 x 5 cm FOV, all the way up to visualizing the entire maxillofacial area with a 9 x 14 cm FOV.
Improved Patient CareThe use of 3D imaging technology has benefitted my patients in numerous ways. It enables me to inform my patients which treatment option would be most successful and beneficial for their particular situation. If their condition requires a referral to a specialist, my patients are made aware of this before starting any treatment.
Most importantly, by using this technology to map out fully guided implant surgery, we can provide our patients with a predictable, long-lasting implant and restoration. Everything is planned digitally ahead of time to find the most ideal placement of the dental implant in terms of both angulation and depth, which can be crucial when working in close proximity to critical anatomical structures. This planning is used to create our CBCT-based implant surgical guide, which facilitates a minimally invasive, much more efficient surgical procedure.
Simple Operation, Excellent ResultsI really like how simple the OP 3D is to operate, which means that anyone in the office can easily learn to use it. The scout image that is displayed before taking the final image enables you to adjust the field of view and patient positioning as needed. This eliminates the need to retake the entire scan and reduces the occurrence of unnecessary radiation exposure.
Improved WorkflowThe OP 3D has really improved our workflow and patient care tremendously. We can capture a CBCT image that provides incredible detail and insight into a patient’s situation that same day and relay our findings to them immediately. It has made our office much more efficient and allowed us to find and diagnose conditions that would not be evident on a 2D x-ray. For these reasons and countless more, the OP 3D has exceeded my expectations |
