Dental 3D Scan
Our Dental 3D Scan is a state-of-the-art imaging technique that provides a detailed, three-dimensional view of your teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures. This advanced diagnostic tool helps identify dental issues that traditional X-rays might miss, enabling more accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.
Whether you’re addressing a specific dental concern, planning an implant, or managing jaw pain, a Dental 3D Scan gives us the insights needed to tailor treatments specifically for you.
Key Benefits for Patients:
Comprehensive Diagnosis: Detect hidden dental issues like infections, cysts, or fractures.
Precision Treatment Planning: Ideal for dental implants, orthodontics, and oral surgery.
Minimally Invasive: Reduces the need for exploratory procedures.
Improved Accuracy: Provides clearer images than traditional X-rays.
Holistic Health Insights: Evaluates the relationship between dental health and overall health.
Whether for routine check-ups or advanced treatments, the Dental 3D Scan ensures your care is as precise and effective as possible.
Medical Article Summary
What is a Dental 3D Scan?
A Dental 3D Scan, also known as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to capture detailed images of the teeth, jaw, and facial structures. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, this imaging method produces a 3D image, allowing clinicians to see the anatomy from multiple angles with exceptional clarity.
Applications of Dental 3D Scans
Dental Implant Planning
Accurately assess bone structure, density, and nerve positioning for safe and effective implant placement.
Orthodontic Evaluation
Analyze jaw alignment and tooth positioning to guide orthodontic treatments.
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Disorders
Provide detailed views of the jaw joint for diagnosing and managing TMJ issues.
Infection and Cyst Detection
Identify abscesses, cysts, or tumors with unparalleled accuracy.
Sinus and Airway Analysis
Evaluate sinus conditions or airway obstructions that may contribute to sleep apnea or other respiratory issues.
Advantages of 3D Scans Over Traditional X-Rays
Enhanced Clarity: Provides clear, high-resolution images for precise diagnosis.
Improved Safety: Uses lower radiation doses compared to conventional CT scans.
Efficient Workflow: Captures comprehensive data in a single scan.
Scientific Evidence
Dental 3D scans are widely supported in scientific literature for their superior diagnostic capabilities:
Accuracy in Implant Placement
A study in Clinical Oral Implants Research demonstrates how CBCT improves safety and success rates in dental implant procedures by providing precise bone measurements and nerve mapping.
