CEREC Crowns

At Beale & Cullen we have offered CEREC single visit crowns for many years. 

This means no temporary crowns and waiting weeks for your crown to be made at a lab. We have the latest CEREC technology, the Primescan 2, which enhances your patient experience even more. We are proud and excited to be at the forefront of the digital dentistry scene in New Zealand.

Intraoral Scan

A More Comfortable Way to See Your Smile

At Beale and Cullen Dental, we believe that high-quality care should be as comfortable as it is precise. We know that the “putty” impressions of the past weren’t anyone’s favorite part of a dental visit—which is why we’ve invested in a better way for our patients.

Our advanced Intraoral Scanner allows us to create a perfect 3D digital map of your mouth in just a few minutes. It is fast, non-invasive, and—most importantly—completely “goop-free.”

By using this technology, we can show you exactly what we see on a screen right beside your chair, making you a true partner in your oral health. Whether we are planning a custom crown or designing your new smile, it all starts with a simple, digital scan. It’s cleaner, more accurate, and designed with your comfort in mind—no gagging required.

IV Sedation

Experience Dental Care with Confidence

At Beale and Cullen Dental, we believe your comfort is just as important as your clinical outcome. We understand that for many, dental visits can be a source of stress or anxiety. Whether you have a sensitive gag reflex, feel claustrophobic, or have had difficult experiences in the past, our goal is to transform your visit into a calm, restorative experience.

Redefining Comfort Through Conscious Sedation

We offer professional sedation solutions designed to eliminate the sights, sounds, and stressors of dental procedures. Our sedation options—specifically our advanced IV Sedation protocol—provide a peaceful detachment that makes time pass quickly and comfortably.

Why Choose Our Advanced IV Sedation?

  • Profound Relaxation: Achieve a state of deep calm and amnesia, ensuring you have little to no memory of the procedure.
  • Precise, Rapid Control: Our clinical team monitors and adjusts your sedation in real-time for maximum safety and effectiveness.
  • Tailored Care: Every dose is customized to your specific needs, allowing for a “crisp” and pleasant recovery.
  • A Stress-Free Journey: Receive the high-quality care you need without the anxiety, often feeling as though you’ve simply taken a restorative nap.

Digital X-Rays / CBCT

The Full Picture of Your Health—All Under One Roof

At Beale and Cullen Dental, we believe that a great patient experience is built on safety, speed, and absolute clarity. To ensure you receive the most accurate care possible, we have brought the world’s leading imaging technology directly into our practice.

For you, this means convenience. Having our own OPG and 3D CBCT machines on-site means you get a complete diagnosis in minutes, without the hassle of a referral or a separate trip to a radiology clinic. These tools allow our team to “see” beneath the surface in incredible detail:

  • Digital X-rays: High-definition images that help us spot tiny issues early, using significantly less radiation than traditional film.
  • OPG (Full-Jaw Panoramic Scan): A fast, comfortable scan that captures a wide-angle view of your entire jaw and teeth—essential for checking wisdom teeth and bone health.
  • 3D CBCT (Advanced Imaging): A state-of-the-art tool that allows us to view your dental anatomy in three dimensions. This is vital for planning treatments like dental implants with millimetre precision.

Whether we are checking a single tooth or mapping out a life-changing smile transformation, this technology ensures your treatment is planned perfectly before we even begin. It’s all part of our commitment to providing the Christchurch community with the safest, most modern dental care available.
