Transforming Patient Care with the Vatech Green CT®
A Journey Shaped by Technology and Patient-Centred Care
Since becoming a registered dental practitioner in 2012, Dr Kyriakos Tambassis has witnessed first-hand the rapid transformation of dentistry. Starting his career as an oral health therapist before moving into general dentistry, he has experienced the shift from pen-and-paper records to AI-powered workflows.
“Dentistry is always evolving,” he reflects. “The way we diagnose and plan treatment today is almost unrecognisable compared to ten years ago — and technology is at the heart of that change.”
At his practice, Smile Sanctuary, patient care is the guiding principle. Every decision — from the treatments offered to the technologies invested in — centres around creating a supportive, informed, and comfortable experience. For Dr Kyri, the integration of modern digital tools and artificial intelligence is what sets his clinic apart. “It’s not just about keeping up with trends; it’s about ensuring patients receive the highest standard of care, with the clearest understanding of their treatment.”
Why Choose the Vatech Green X 18?
When establishing Smile Sanctuary, Dr Kyri had the opportunity to research a wide range of diagnostic technologies. “I wanted a system that wasn’t just advanced today but one that would continue to evolve. Vatech stood out immediately for its innovation, its commitment to AI integration, and the reliability of its support.”
His Vatech Green CT®, the Green X 18, has since become central to the way his practice operates. Its low-dose, high-resolution 3D CBCT imaging provides unparalleled visibility of the head, jaw, and teeth — enabling more accurate and confident diagnosis across a wide variety of cases.
Elevating Diagnostics and Treatment Planning
The Green X 18 has redefined how Smile Sanctuary approaches clinical challenges. With one of the largest available fields of view, it is particularly valuable for orthodontic and orthopaedic assessments.
- Wisdom teeth extractions: By clearly visualising the inferior alveolar nerve’s location, Dr Kyri can assess its proximity to impacted third molars and explain risks to patients with precision and confidence.
- Endodontics: The endo mode has proven invaluable for locating the MB2 canal in upper molars — an area often difficult to detect. This leads to more predictable, successful treatment outcomes.
- Implants: With enhanced 3D imaging, implant planning is faster, safer, and more precise. “It allows us to visualise every anatomical consideration and confidently place implants in-house.”
“The Green X 18 is like practising dentistry with loupes versus without,” he explains. “Once you experience the clarity it provides, it’s impossible to imagine going back. It has raised the standard of both my diagnostic decision-making and my patient outcomes.”
Improving Workflow Efficiency and Patient Experience
Beyond diagnosis, the CBCT has transformed Smile Sanctuary’s workflow. Treatment planning that once took extended consultation is now faster, more precise, and far more collaborative with the patient.
Patients benefit directly from the technology. By visually engaging with their scans, they better understand their oral health, the rationale for treatment, and the expected outcomes. This transparency builds trust and leads to greater treatment acceptance.
“Clear, evidence-based imaging changes the conversation,” says Dr Kyri. “It sets realistic expectations and allows patients to feel confident about their decisions.”
Support from Vatech
Dr Kyri also highlights the value of Vatech’s partnership beyond the technology itself. “From initial training through to ongoing updates, the support has been exemplary. The Vatech team is professional, responsive, and committed to helping us succeed. They’ve simplified workflows — in some cases to just a single click — which makes the integration seamless.”
Looking Ahead: Dentistry’s Future with AI
For Dr Kyri, the future of dentistry is exciting — and technology like the Vatech Green X 18 will be a driving force.
“The integration of AI and digital imaging is redefining how we approach diagnostics and treatment planning. I see a future with even more streamlined workflows, enhanced accuracy, and increased reliance on AI-driven support. That will allow dentists like myself to dedicate more time to what matters most: clinical decision-making and patient care.”
Final Thoughts
Reflecting on his experience, Dr Kyri is unequivocal in his endorsement:
“I would strongly encourage other practices to consider the Vatech Green X 18. It’s a true game changer. Its extended field of view, AI-driven tools, and diagnostic clarity have brought a new level of precision, efficiency, and confidence to my practice.”
Just as magnification loupes once transformed dentistry, so too has the Green X 18 — elevating patient care, clinician confidence, and the overall dental experience.
