Oyster Point Dental - 3-D Digital Dental Imaging Aids

3-D digital dental imaging is revolutionizing the dental industry. 3-D imaging provide dentists with detailed and accurate images of a patient's teeth and jawbone. This technology allows dentists to examine the entire oral cavity in a non-invasive and precise manner. Equally important, it empowers your dentist to visually explain and demonstrate to the patient exactly what is going on and exactly how the Doctor plans to proceed.

3-D digital dental imaging systems use a combination of CT and/or cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans to capture thousands of tiny slices of the teeth and jawbone. The images are then reconstructed using advanced software to create 3-D models that can be manipulated and viewed from any angle. This allows the dentist to gain a much clearer picture of the teeth and jaw structure, enabling more accurate diagnosis and treatment. 3-D digital dental imaging can also be used for other purposes, such as planning orthodontic treatments or dental implants. The detailed images can help the dentist plan ahead so that the treatment is more effective and efficient. Additionally, the images can help dentists identify potential problems with the teeth or jawbone, such as cavities or misalignments, before they become an issue. 3-D digital dental imaging is an incredibly powerful tool that is revolutionizing the dental industry.
