Where the NewTom (Cefla) NewTom VG-One stands today
- Resolution holds up: at its sharpest (80µm voxel) it's still in the fine-detail tier the newest units sell on. You are not behind on image quality.
- Field of view reaches 15cm — enough for both arches in one capture. Most practices never switch out of the small default FOV and never know they have this.
- At 1 years (2025) it's current-generation. There is no hardware reason to replace it — the value left on the table is in how you use it.
- Detector: Flat panel.
What it already does that most practices don't use
- Multiple FOV modes (6x6, 8x6, 8x8, 10x10, 11x6, 11x8, 11x11, 15x11 (optional)). Most operators leave it on one preset — the larger modes are already paid for.
- Output/networking: standard DICOM export. That export path is what lets a scan leave the machine and become something a patient can actually look at.
Upgrade paths for the NewTom (Cefla) NewTom VG-One
- UpgradeNewest NewTom vertical CBCT, introduced early 2025 as part of brand refresh; detailed specs not yet captured.
- NetworkThe fastest upgrade is almost never new hardware — it's getting the volume off the machine and into a workflow. That alone changes what the box is worth to you.
- ReconfigureSwitching your default to the right FOV/scan mode for implant cases is free, and most practices never do it.
Repair vs. replace: what it costs
Repair: the dominant wear item on any dental CBCT is the X-ray tube — a replacement runs roughly $15,000-$40,000, typically every 3–7 years depending on scan volume. A larger-FOV unit like this one sits toward the upper end of that range. Budget a service contract at about $5,000–$15,000/year and software licensing around $2,000/year. A flat-panel detector is the big unknown — it isn't publicly priced, so get a manufacturer quote before assuming the worst.
Replace: replacement pricing varies by configuration and condition. Before any trade-up, the honest test is whether a networking or software path gets you most of the capability for a fraction of a new unit.

NewTom (Cefla) NewTom VG-One — common questions
- Can Alvea use scans from the NewTom (Cefla) NewTom VG-One?
- Yes. The NewTom (Cefla) NewTom VG-One exports a standard DICOM volume, and Alvea converts that volume into a chairside 3D model of the patient's jaw — no new hardware and no new scan. It runs off the cone-beam you already take.
- How much does it cost to repair a NewTom (Cefla) NewTom VG-One?
- The dominant repair on any dental CBCT is the X-ray tube, which runs roughly $15,000-$40,000 and is typically replaced every 3–7 years by scan volume. Annual service contracts run about $5,000–$15,000, and a flat-panel detector is quoted by the manufacturer rather than listed publicly. These are 2025–26 industry ranges, not a quote for a specific unit.
- What is the field of view on the NewTom (Cefla) NewTom VG-One?
- The NewTom (Cefla) NewTom VG-One reaches 15 cm, enough to capture both arches in one scan — a mode most practices never switch to.
