At Studio Z Dental, we are committed to doing everything possible to facilitate your dental health. We are continually seeking the best technology, and our new 3D imaging scanner plays a crucial role in achieving this goal.
Much of what causes health issues in your mouth is under the surface. Traditional 2-dimensional X-rays can detect essential problems, but they have limits. Now, we have a 3D imaging device that can detect issues with fantastic clarity anywhere in your jaw, gums, teeth, and bones.
This advanced detection can be vital to your overall health if you have chronic bone lesions around root canal-treated teeth or chronic bone infections from past extractions (cavitations). Without detection, chronic, low-grade infections in the mouth can compromise your immune system by requiring it to work harder to handle the infection.
3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
The Planmeca imaging device combines 3D data from three technologies into one X-ray unit. The three technologies are a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) image, a 3D face photo, and a 3D model scan. The advanced software combines the image, face photo, and model scan into one 3D image. Our dentists can see a virtual image of your face and mouth in full 3D.
Very low radiation dose per scan
If you think, “Wouldn’t this type of 3D imaging require high radiation to get such a multidimensional view?” The answer is that Planmeca 3D cone beam imaging is unique, capturing all this data with ultra-low-dose radiation. CBCT imaging has an even lower effective patient dose than standard 2D panoramic imaging. This pioneering imaging protocol, developed by Planmeca, is based on intelligent 3D algorithms and offers a vast amount of detailed anatomical information at a very low patient dose.
Our dentists will utilize this 3D imaging unit in conjunction with our advanced ozone techniques. These are two of the most advanced technologies available at any dental office. We are leading the way in helping you maintain the highest level of dental health. Please call our office to ask questions and schedule your initial appointment. Contact us today.
