History
i-dontics
was formed in 2002 as APW Dental Imaging by Drs.
Alan A. Winter and Alan S. Pollack, New York dentists
with a successful, long-established periodontal/implant
practice. This company is the result of their vision
of the benefits and potential uses of 3-D digital
radiographic technology.
The first i-dontics center
was established in mid-town Manhattan, specializing
in cone beam CT imaging and image processing services
for the local dental community. Then, in 2005, i-dontics
expanded with new centers in Millburn, NJ and Brooklyn,
NY. A fourth i-dontics center was opened
in 2006. Anticipating the need to provide services
to a greater number of dentists, and in turn their
patients, i-dontics expanded their network
by incorporating dentists who already owned a dental
CBCT scanner. There are presently 6 Service Providers
located in four states: New York, New Jersey, Florida
and North Carolina, with more anticipated in the
future. All i-dontics Service Providers
are linked via a secure, HIPAA-compliant server
that enables rapid transport and analysis of high
resolution CT scanned images. These images are
reconstructed at the processing center in New York
City where i-dontics operates a Master
Site for SimPlant®. SimPlant™ is a leading pre-operative
planning software that integrates data from CT scans
to provide precise surgical planning for implant
insertion, removal of impacted third molars, analyses
of the temporomandibular joint, diagnoses of complex
root canal problems, treatment for sleep apnea,
and more.
