Dental loupes magnification
Please note that the image are not representative of field of view. All our loupes provide a full dental arch view, even at 5.0x magnification.
Increase the magnification using the tabs and see what loupes can do for you.
The easiest magnification to use. 2.5x magnification offers the largest field of view and depth of focus, making positioning your instruments simple. These loupes are perfect for dental hygienists and for facial aesthetics.
An excellent balance between magnification and field of view, 3.0x loupes are our recommended option for first time users. Perfectly suited for general dentistry, general surgery and for students.
3.5x is good for those individuals that are after more detail than 3.0x. Popular with those performing electrolysis and beauticians. Dentists doing many crown preparations and surgeons performing micro-surgery also use this magnification.
4.0x provides a high level of detail, suitable for endodontics and precision surgery. Most individuals contemplating 4.0x loupes decide to choose 5.0x instead.
The ultimate magnification. Unlike most other 5.0x on the market, ours offer a large field of view allowing the whole dental arch to be seen at incredible detail. Recommended for experienced loupes users.

How do I choose my loupes?
Choosing your loupes ultimately comes down to personal preference. As dentists ourselves we personally prefer TTL loupes due to the comfortable weight and significantly improved viewing experience. The benefit of the slightly larger upfront investment over flip up loupes becomes quickly apparent.
TTL or TTL HD?
We offer two types of TTL loupes to cater to a range of budgets. Both are an excellent set of loupes, but the TTL HD loupes have the edge in terms of weight and clarity.
