What Is 3D Dental Imaging?
3D dental imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool that allows oral surgeons to view the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures with incredible clarity and precision. Unlike traditional two-dimensional dental x-rays, the 3D imaging technology we use at Huntsville Oral Surgery & Dental Implants captures high-definition views that provide more detailed and accurate information. These scans are especially helpful when planning for procedures like dental implants, tooth extractions, and bone grafting, where understanding depth, spacing, and anatomical relationships is essential. If you've been referred for endodontic care or are looking for more advanced treatments for dental decay or facial trauma, schedule a consultation with Dr. S. Clint Hudson and our team in Huntsville, AL to learn how we utilize 3D dental imaging to provide a higher level of precision and comfort.
How Does 3D Dental Imaging Work?
3D imaging is a quick, noninvasive process that takes place while you sit or stand in position. Our advanced dental scanner will rotate around your head in a full circle, capturing detailed images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures in less than a minute. There are no sensors or uncomfortable bitewings to deal with. Once the scan is complete, the high-definition 3D dental images will be compiled into a single file, which Dr. Hudson will review with you to plan your treatment. You'll be able to see what he sees and better understand what's happening in your mouth and jaw before any procedure begins.
