— The Power of Advanced 3D Imaging

3D Imaging at a Glance

No pre-scan preparation required

3D scans require no special preparation. You simply sit comfortably while the machine does the work, making the process stress-free from start to finish.

Fast & Comfortable Scans

The scan is quick, simple, and completely painless. In just seconds, we capture the full picture of your oral health with no discomfort or downtime.

Comprehensive 360° Views

One 10-second scan gives your doctor hundreds of detailed angles and views. This allows us to diagnose issues with exceptional clarity and create more accurate treatment plans.

Safe, Low-Radiation Technology

Our 3D imaging uses significantly lower radiation than standard medical CT scans, offering a safer experience while still delivering advanced accuracy.

Unmatched Diagnostic Accuracy

With precise, detailed 3D visuals, your doctor can plan treatments with greater confidence, monitor progress more effectively, and deliver more predictable results.

This 3D Dental Imaging scan is fast, simple, and completely painless. And from that scan, your dental specialist can quickly see computer-generated views of the bones of your face and teeth from any angle in 3D and in color!

This cutting-edge dental technique provides more accurate and complete information, so your dentist can better plan your treatment.

The 3D imaging system is basically a digital X-ray scanner.

You simply sit in a chair while the scanner moves in one complete circle around your head, gathering all the scan data needed. There’s no special preparation necessary.

Your specialists can then view the scanned images of your entire mouth on a computer monitor in 2D, 3D, and “panoramic” views. They can view your images from any angle and in different magnifications, to see the relationships between bones, teeth, airways, nerves, and tissues, to more accurately plan or evaluate your treatment.

While 3D imaging produces the same kind of high-quality images as a CT (CAT) scan, it does so with less radiation.

Typical dental X-rays just focus on your teeth, and for each X-ray picture, you need one exposure. So it would take many exposures to even begin to compare to a single 3D scan.

Also, 3D imaging shows much more than simple “flat” X-rays. This new technology provides more complete visual information to study your case from every angle. Best of all, the original scan data can be duplicated anytime, to provide different specialists with images if needed later. And, there’s no film to get lost in.

Whether you’re just beginning treatment or evaluating the results, 3D images give your doctors more high-quality, detailed visual information for diagnosis and planning. More complete information is a vital key to improved patient care. And for you, it can mean more confidence and satisfaction in your treatment.
