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.

Huntsville Oral Surgery & Dental Implants Reviews
Highly professional team I had my wisdom teeth removed and had complications after the fact. Called the emergency line and was seen by Dr Hudson within 20 minutes to help solve the issue. They then proceeded to call me the next morning to check in after the emergency call.
Got my wisdom teeth removed from here and everything went really good! Very nice and friendly staff who always make sure you’re doing well and comfortable! My procedure took less than an hour and I was able to go home and rest. I went under general anesthesia and had no problems. Definitely recommend for any wisdom teeth removals or dental work!
Dr Hudson and his team are the best! I have needed to use them twice in past 6 months and in both cases the experiences were great. This last time they worked me in on short notice and added me to their schedule at the end of their day even though it was after their normal hours. The entire staff was wonderful and caring. You wouldn't know it was the end of their day/week on a Friday after hours, they took their time and made sure I was taken care of. No sense of rushing or an imposition. That speaks volumes as to quality of care you get not to mention Dr Hudson is the best at this and I have never had any issues post surgery. Thank you for taking care of me ! I highly recomend !!
Dr. Hudson is the absolute BEST!! My 13yr old had all 4 wisdom teeth and 2other teeth surgically removed and he made him feel so at ease. I would definitely recommend!!!!!!!
Every thing was great, procedure went great , results were great, highly recommended!
