What PreXion does

PreXion is a dental diagnostic imaging company that develops, manufactures, and distributes Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) systems, intraoral scanners, intraoral sensors, handheld X-ray units, and 2D panoramic imaging systems for dental professionals. Its core technology centers on proprietary flat panel detector (FPD) hardware with an industry-smallest 0.2mm focal spot and isotropic voxel resolution as low as 48μm, complemented by imaging software featuring Patient Motion Correction, Metal Artifact Reduction, AI-assisted cephalometry, 3D implant planning, DICOM fusion, and STL conversion for CAD/CAM workflows. The product portfolio spans small (Evolve 3D SFOV), medium (Excelsior Mid MFOV), and large (Excelsior Max LFOV) field-of-view CBCT systems, plus the endodontic-specialized Excelsior Endo, the AI-enabled Evolve Scan intraoral scanner, the Evolve Intraoral Sensor, and the Evolve X-Ray handheld unit.

PreXion was founded in Japan in 2007 as a spin-off of TeraRecon and was acquired by Alliage, a major Brazilian dental health technology group, in 2025, with manufacturing subsequently relocated to Brazil. The company sells primarily to SMB dental practices — general dentists (the primary segment per internal survey data), oral surgeons, orthodontists, endodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, and pedodontists — through a combination of direct field sales (product specialists), an extensive U.S. distributor network, and regional distribution partners in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; contracts are typically multi-year and supported by training videos, ROI calculator tools, hands-on courses with key opinion leaders, and remote support services.
