A legacy of reliability in intraoral imaging

A clear X-ray image can shape every clinical decision you make. Yet daily pressures — patient movement, limited room layouts, varying staff experience — can make X-ray acquisition feel more complicated than it should be.

Heliodent Plus is an intraoral X-ray generator designed to bring stability, simplicity and clarity to your routine, so you can work with confidence throughout the day.

Built on 70 years of intraoral imaging expertise, Heliodent Plus continues to support practices worldwide with a proven approach to dependable X-ray generation 

Why practices choose Heliodent Plus

Durable design for long-term stability

Manufactured in Germany with robust components that maintain precise positioning. This enduring stability supports reproducible image quality and efficient workflows year after year.

High-quality imaging for confident diagnosis

A 0.4 mm focal spot and adjustable exposure settings support sharp, detailed intraoral images across clinical indications.

Installation options that fit your practice

Its modular design and multiple installation options adapt to different room layouts and imaging workflows, supporting efficient use of space and smooth daily imaging procedures.

Intuitive interface designed for everyday efficiency

Pre-configured exposure programmes and intuitive controls help streamline image acquisition while supporting consistent image quality across common indications.

Integrated for connected dentistry

Supercharge your intraoral X-ray workflow with DS Core*

Bring intraoral X-ray images into connected digital workflows with DS Core**. Access patient radiographs and files anytime, anywhere, support collaboration, and simplify how practices review, store, and share diagnostic information.

Excellent performance with Xios/Schick sensors

Factory-aligned exposure settings support efficient workflows Xios/Schick sensors while maintaining compatibility with other digital sensors, Phosphor Plate (PSP) imaging systems, and film-based workflows.

Supporting accurate clinical decisions

Sharp imaging starts with stability

A vibration-free extension arm and precise positioning support reproducible image quality and help reduce motion-related retakes in daily practice.
Tailored exposure for diagnostic clarity

Adjustable tube voltage and exposure parameters enable imaging protocols to be adapted to patient anatomy, imaging receptor type, and clinical indication.
Excellent image quality and dose control

Heliodent Plus offers modular cone extenders and collimation options that help align the X-ray beam precisely to the area of interest while maintaining the selected source-to-skin distance, supporting image sharpness and dose control and helping practices comply with local imaging requirements.

How Heliodent Plus fits into your practice

Dental professionals who want predictable intraoral imaging often struggle with positioning variability and inconsistent results. Left unaddressed, that variability can mean retakes, lost chair time, and second-guessing a diagnosis instead of trusting it. We help by structuring the full imaging workflow — from positioning to AI-supported review — so you can achieve predictable results.

Step 1: Position for success

Build consistency before exposure

  • Use RINN and AimRight Sensor X-ray holders to support consistent positioning of sensors, PSP plates, or film.
  • Stable arm positioning helps maintain alignment during image acquisition
  • Heliodent Plus is designed to provide mechanical stability, helping to minimise motion artefacts and positioning deviations
  • Cone extenders help guide beam alignment and support consistent geometry
  • Collimation options help enhance patient safety and comply with local imaging requirements.
  • Operate the Heliodent Plus even outside of the X-ray room via a remote control, remote timer, or through a manual release.

Why it matters: Consistent positioning supports high image quality while helping reduce unnecessary retakes.

Step 2: Generate the X‑ray
  • The 0.4 mm focal spot supports detailed intraoral imaging.
  • Selectable 60 kV and 70 kV settings help clinicians adapt contrast and penetration to different diagnostic needs.
  • A 7 mA X-ray tube provides the current needed for proper image density while helping minimise image noise.
  • Intuitive controls simplify day-to-day operation.
  • Operate Heliodent Plus even outside of the X-ray room via a remote control, remote timer, or through a manual release.
Step 3: Capture the image
  • Heliodent Plus is compatible with digital sensors, PSP imaging plates, and film-based imaging workflows.
  • Factory-configured for excellent performance with Xios /Schick sensors enabling high‑resolution image acquisition (up to 33 lp/mm theoretical resolution) which can support visualisation of fine anatomical structures
Step 4: Access, review and share

Keep your imaging workflow connected

  • DS Core enables centralised access to X-ray images and patient media in one place.
  • Imaging case files can be accessed from anywhere and with any device, directly via web browser. Supporting flexible diagnosis and collaboration.
  • Facilitate collaboration and sharing between colleagues and referral partners.
  • Keep your patients engaged in their oral health decisions by sharing patient media and treatment plans directly and digitally right after the consultation.
Step 5: Support clinical interpretation

AI-based insights integrated into your workflow

  • Pearl Second Opinion® Connected with DS Core
  • Automatic synchronisation of intraoral and panoramic X-ray images between DS Core and Pearl accounts.
  • Benefit from AI-powered second opinion to enhance diagnostic confidence and streamline radiographic evaluation.

Requires DS Core Light or higher, as well as Pearl Second Opinion®

Frequently asked questions about Heliodent Plus

No. While factory settings are optimised for use with Xios/Schick sensors, Heliodent Plus is compatible with a broad range of digital sensors, PSP systems, and film-based workflows.

No problem. The Heliodent Plus exposure parameters can be fully customised to match the technical requirements of your preferred sensor. This allows you to fine-tune image quality to your workflow, whether you prioritise high contrast for caries detection or optimal penetration for challenging cases.

Xios XG Supreme and Heliodent Plus are designed as a coordinated system, with aligned settings for convenience and optimised outcomes. This helps deliver consistently high-quality images without manual adjustments—while still allowing full flexibility to configure the unit with other compatible sensors.

Better Images. Easier Operation.

"Now that we have installed the new X-ray unit, operating errors are a thing of the past. It is very nice having the option of taking either analogue or digital X-rays. The tube head holds very steady so there are no more blurred images."
