3D-Digital-X-ray

How does 3D dental x-ray work?

The 3D ConeBeam Imaging system is basically a digital x-ray scanner mounted on a rotating arm. (Like a digital camera, it uses digital technology to record images instead of old-fashioned film.) It’s called “ConeBeam” because the scanner projects x-rays in a carefully controlled, cone-shaped beam.

You simply sit in a chair while the scanner moves in one complete circle around your head, gathering all the scan data needed. There’s no special preparation necessary.

Your specialists can then call up whatever views they need on a computer monitor: 2D, 3D, “panoramic” views of your entire mouth, even sequences like pages in a book. They can view your images from any angle and in different magnifications, to see the relationships between bones, teeth, airways, nerves and tissues; to plan or evaluate your treatment.

And while 3D ConeBeam Imaging produces the same kind of high-quality images as a CT (CAT) scan, it does so with less radiation.

Benefits of 3D dental x-ray

3D x-ray provides you, as a dentist, with the most detailed information for a more accurate diagnosis and more precision in the treatment. 3D x-ray provides you with a more complete view of the facial anatomy – from almost every angle and perspective. What you would never see with 2D images.

The fact that you can show your patients 3D x-ray images makes your patients more easily convinced to opt for a treatment and also more satisfied.

3D x-ray is quick and easy: in only 10 seconds, you will acquire a complete overview of the oral, jaw and dental area of the patient by means of a quick scan. You can use this precise and much more comprehensive information to advise your patients even better than before.

  • You can zoom into every area and rotate the view
  • Nothing remains concealed: You will obtain a complete picture of the oral structure including the jaw bones, soft tissue and nerve tracts – and all that in one single scan
  • Improved implant planning and implant setting
