3D Digital Screening

3D digital screening is a state-of-the-art imaging technology used in modern dentistry to provide highly detailed, three-dimensional views of the teeth, gums, jawbone, and surrounding structures. This advanced diagnostic tool allows for accurate assessments, early detection of dental issues, and precise treatment planning.

What Is 3D Digital Screening?

Unlike traditional two-dimensional X-rays, 3D digital screening uses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) or other 3D scanning technologies to create a complete image of the oral cavity. This helps dentists visualize structures from multiple angles with unparalleled clarity.

Benefits of 3D Digital Screening

  • Detailed and Accurate: Offers a comprehensive view of teeth, roots, nerves, and bone structure.
  • Non-Invasive and Fast: The scanning process is quick, safe, and comfortable for patients.
  • Improved Diagnosis: Helps in detecting hidden issues such as bone loss, impacted teeth, or cysts.
  • Better Treatment Planning: Ideal for implants, orthodontics, root canal therapy, and more.
  • Lower Radiation Exposure: Newer digital systems emit significantly less radiation compared to traditional CT scans.

Common Uses

  • Dental implant planning and placement
  • Orthodontic evaluation and treatment planning
  • TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder assessment
  • Detection of infections, tumors, or cysts
  • Wisdom teeth evaluation and extraction planning

Procedure

During the screening, the patient stands or sits while the 3D scanner rotates around the head. The scan takes only a few seconds and is completely painless. The digital images are instantly available for review and analysis by the dentist.

Aftercare

No special aftercare is needed following 3D digital screening. The results are used to guide treatment decisions, and your dentist will review the images with you to explain any findings or next steps.
