3D Dental Imaging Scans

At Paul DiFranco Orthodontics, we use advanced 3D dental imaging technology to provide detailed insights into your dental care. This state-of-the-art approach ensures that every diagnosis and treatment plan is as accurate and effective as possible. Our dental 3D scanner delivers unparalleled clarity, helping us give patients the best dental treatment available.

What Does 3D Dental Imaging Show?

3D dental imaging captures a comprehensive view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, it provides a detailed, three-dimensional image of:

  • Teeth and roots
  • Jawbone and sinuses
  • Nerves and soft tissues
  • Alignment of teeth and jaw

These images allow us to:

  • Identify dental issues like impacted teeth, bone loss, or infections.
  • Plan treatments for braces, implants, or other orthodontic needs.
  • Detect problems early, ensuring better outcomes.

Why Is a 3D Scan Important in Dental Health?

A 3D dental scan is essential for modern dentistry. It provides:

  • Enhanced Accuracy: Detailed images help us diagnose with precision.
  • Improved Treatment Plans: Combined with our digital X-rays, 3D views ensure customized and effective solutions.
  • Comprehensive Insights: We can see areas that traditional X-rays might miss.
  • Time Efficiency: Faster scans mean quicker diagnoses and treatment planning.

This advanced technology gives us the confidence to address complex dental issues with care and precision.

How Does a 3D Dental Scan Work?

Our dental 3D scanner, called the iTero Scanner, uses Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology. Here’s how it works:

  • Quick Setup: You stand or sit while the scanner rotates around your head.
  • Non-Invasive Process: The scanner takes detailed images in seconds.
  • High-Resolution Imaging: The CBCT scanner combines the images into a detailed 3D model of your mouth.

The process is safe, painless, and fast. It provides us with the most accurate data to diagnose and plan your orthodontic treatment.

Is a 3D Scan Better Than Dental X-Rays?

Yes, a 3D dental scan offers several advantages over traditional X-rays:

  • More Detail: 3D scans provide a complete view, while X-rays offer flat, two-dimensional images.
  • Improved Diagnosis: They reveal more information about bone structure, nerves, and tissue.
  • Better Planning: For orthodontics, implants, and other treatments, 3D imaging ensures precision.

While X-rays are useful for routine exams, 3D dental imaging is ideal for complex cases or advanced treatment planning. We’re proud to use this cutting-edge technology to improve your experience and results.
