DEXIS Titanium: Quick, Easy, & Efficient
DEXIS™ Titanium digital intraoral sensors capture clear, robust images with improved tissue contrast and lower dose radiation for accurate, confident diagnoses
For most dental patients, treatment begins with an x-ray. A crisp image allows dentists to make an accurate diagnosis and explain the treatment plan to patients, so it’s critical that images are sharp and sensor devices are fast, reliable, and comfortable for the patient.
The DEXIS Titanium sensor offers remarkable clarity and uses CleanCapture technology for improved signal performance and expanded range. Clinicians will find consistent image clarity with horizontal bitewings and improved tissue contrast across a broader spectrum of radiation levels, especially at low doses. The innovative design drastically reduces “noise” that causes pixelated, low-detail images, while safeguarding image integrity.
“It’s quick, easy, and efficient—you get the results the way you want them, and the patients’ comfort level offered by the DEXIS Titanium sensor is superior to any other sensor on the market.”

The sensor’s innovative SMART technology includes a unique motion activation feature, which allows users to simply make a gesture with the sensor to initiate image capture. For example, clinicians can trigger a horizontal bitewing series with a simple horizontal back-and-forth motion, or a full-mouth series with a circular motion—rather than having to enter the command on a separate computer keyboard. Eliminating those added steps turns an uncomfortable and lengthy image capture into a quick procedure.
SMART technology also offers clinicians the option to remotely diagnose the sensor and receive alerts about sensor performance, allowing for smooth operation without interruptions. If an issue does arise, an alert is automatically sent to DEXIS Technical Support. This ensures that a quick resolution can be made, reducing the need for long phone calls. If an issue is detected, the sensor will automatically turn off, protecting patients from unnecessary radiation. The sensor’s SMART technology also features the ability to perform automatic software updates, guaranteeing that your drivers and imaging software are never out-of-date.
A Reliable Performer
“This sensor is our workhorse,” said Mitchell Pasenkoff, DMD, of Norfolk, MA. “Especially on Saturdays, when I am here with 2 hygienists, the sensor really takes a beating, and we’ve never had a problem with it, not once.”
The DEXIS Titanium sensor is manufactured with durable materials, including a Kevlar-reinforced cable and exceptionally reliable hardware, designed to withstand impact and help eliminate failure. The sensor is made of a strong, thermo-plastic resin that stands up to repeated bite force, impacts, and repeated sanitizing with multiple disinfectant chemicals. In addition, the unique WiseAngle feature helps reduce stress on the sensor-to-cable connection.
Dr. Pasenkoff estimates that his office staff uses the DEXIS Titanium sensor between 10 to 15 times a day on his busiest days, and he is pleased with its performance over the last several years.
“These are devices that generally are prone to breakage because of what we ask them to do each day in our practices,” said Dr. Pasenkoff. “So, the unconditional warranty is a big benefit to using this particular sensor. But there’s been no breakage at all over the last several years with this sensor.”
Unconditional Warranty
DEXIS offers a unique, unconditional replacement warranty that features no-charge, next-day replacements for performance issues—no questions asked. In addition, DEXIS offers unlimited telephone and remote online technical assistance, as well as automatically-pushed software updates.
Along with an innovative cable design, the sensor connects with a simple USB into a computer tower, a feature that Dr. Pasenkoff finds particularly advantageous. “In my experience, there’s generally problems with wireless connections, and with this device, it’s a simple connection using a USB,” he explained. “Our images are crisp, crystal clear, and never foggy—every time.”
Enhanced Patient Comfort
With its PerfectSize sensor and TrueComfort design, the DEXIS Titanium sensor is a comfortable fit for patients, which helps deliver a positive patient experience. An added comfort-booster is the unique single-sensor solution, which allows for multiple intraoral images to be captured with just one sensor—eliminating the need to switch between multiple size sensors.
“The sensor design with rounded edges, wider platform and smart cable exit all work together and help us make taking x-rays more comfortable for our patients,” Dr. Pasenkoff added. In addition to patient comfort and reliability, Dr. Pasenkoff said he is particularly happy with the quality and versatility of the images.
“The images are very sharp,” Dr. Pasenkoff explained. “It’s an excellent sensor. It’s quick, easy, and efficient—you get the results the way you want them, and the patients’ comfort level offered by the DEXIS Titanium sensor is superior to any other sensor on the market,” he added.
