Sirona Orthophos
Panoramic & Cephalometric Repair
|
|||
|
|
When your Sirona Orthophos panoramic or cephalometric system fails, your imaging workflow stops entirely. A distorted panoramic image, a ceph arm that won't position, an exposure that won't fire, or a detector that's stopped communicating these aren't minor inconveniences. Every day your Orthophos is offline is a day of delayed treatment planning, rescheduled cases, and compounding revenue loss.

What Our Clients Say |
|
“Our Orthophos S was producing consistently dark panoramic images; on one side, we assumed it was a calibration issue for months. Repair.Dental diagnosed a rotation mechanism fault causing non-uniform arc speed, repaired the drive system, and returned the unit with perfect bilateral image balance. The turnaround was 3 business days from receipt to return. Exceptional.”
★★★★★ Dr. Claire B. — General Dentist, Edinburgh, UK
✔ Orthophos S rotation fault resolved. Bilateral image balance fully restored. |
|
“The Orthophos SL cephalometric arm had developed a consistent 2–3mm positioning error that was affecting landmark reliability for treatment planning. Repair.Dental diagnosed an encoder drift fault, repaired it, and verified positioning accuracy across 20 test acquisitions before return. International shipping was seamless, and the documentation for our compliance records was thorough.”
★★★★★ Dr. Isabelle M. — Orthodontist, Brussels, Belgium
✔ Orthophos SL ceph arm positioning accuracy restored. International service. |
|
“Our Orthophos E stopped firing exposures mid-session with a full implant surgery schedule the following week. Repair.Dental diagnosed an HV generator PCB fault, repaired it at the component level, and calibrated the exposure output before return. Back in service in 4 business days with full documentation.”
★★★★★ Dr. Robert A. — Implant Surgeon, Sydney, Australia
✔ Orthophos E exposure system restored in 4 business days. |

Dentist Pain Points |
|
✘ WITHOUT Reliable Repair |
✔ WITH Repair.Dental — Fixed in Days |
|
✘ Orthophos distortion is assumed to be a calibration that fails to fix a mechanical fault |
✔ Root-cause rotation system diagnosis identifies and resolves the actual mechanical failure |
|
✘ OEM Sirona repair takes 3–6 weeks with limited update frequency |
✔ Free estimate in 24 hours, repair in 2–3 days with proactive communication throughout |
|
✘ Ceph arm inconsistency misattributed to patient positioning, clinical decisions affected |
✔ Ceph arm motor and encoder diagnosis resolves the actual positioning hardware fault |
|
✘ Legacy Orthophos abandoned when Sirona OEM channels end support |
✔ Older Orthophos systems assessed individually and repaired where components allow |
|
✘ No cost transparency until the invoice arrives |
✔ Free written estimate before any work, 100% transparent pricing always |

Complete Sirona Orthophos Maintenance Guide |
|
🧹 Cleaning & Sensor Care
▸ Wipe external surfaces with approved low-alcohol disinfectant; never spray directly onto electronic components or detector panels
▸ Clean bite block and head support components after every patient using approved infection control methods
▸ Inspect detector surface for contamination or physical damage monthly
▸ Never apply moisture near the detector housing or electronic panel covers |
⚙️ Mechanical & Positioning Care
▸ Listen for changes in rotation sound during acquisition. Any new noise indicates early mechanical wear
▸ Inspect ceph arm articulation points for smooth, consistent movement at the start of each clinical day
▸ Never force the rotation arm or ceph arm. Mechanical resistance indicates a fault
▸ Verify the chin rest and head support adjustment smoothness weekly |
⚠️ Warning Signs Contact Us
▸ Panoramic images showing unilateral blurring or mid-arc distortion
▸ Ceph arm consistently off-position relative to previous sessions
▸ Error codes that don't clear on system restart
▸ Consistent over- or underexposure despite unchanged acquisition settings |

Legacy Sirona Orthophos Support Policy
We assess older Orthophos panoramic and cephalometric systems individually, based on fault type, component availability, and realistic remaining service life. Panoramic systems typically have longer serviceable lives than smaller imaging equipment due to their design for clinical-volume use. If repair isn't viable for your specific unit, we will tell you clearly and without pressure. Legacy support is available when the technical and economic conditions allow it.
Contact us with your Orthophos model, serial number, and fault description for a free legacy viability assessment before arranging shipping. |

Frequently Asked Questions |
|
Q |
Do you repair the Sirona Orthophos E? |
|
A |
Yes. Full system repair, including rotation mechanism, X-ray tube assessment, HV generator PCB, exposure calibration, detector communication, and panoramic image quality verification. |
|
Q |
Do you repair the Sirona Orthophos S? |
|
A |
Yes. We service the Orthophos S, including detector diagnostics, motion control repair, ceph arm positioning service (where equipped), software communication repair, power supply assessment, and calibration restoration. |
|
Q |
Do you repair the Sirona Orthophos SL? |
|
A |
Yes. The Orthophos SL is one of our specialist service models — multi-mode system diagnostics, ceph arm motor and encoder repair, panoramic and cephalometric integration service, and full verification across all imaging modes. |
|
Q |
Do you support legacy Sirona Orthophos systems? |
|
A |
Yes, case-by-case. Older Orthophos units are assessed on fault type, component availability, and remaining service life. Free viability assessment provided before shipping. |
|
Q |
My Orthophos panoramic images have distortion on one side. What causes this? |
|
A |
Unilateral distortion or mid-arc blurring is almost always a rotation mechanism fault, motor wear, encoder drift, or drive system irregularity causing non-uniform arc speed. Software recalibration cannot resolve a mechanical root cause. |
