three-dimensional detail
Our 3D imaging system allows us to see your anatomy in three-dimensional detail. It can be enlarged, rotated, and divided in any direction, thus revealing critical information not always seen in 2D images. Having this kind of technology at our fingertips allows us to better diagnose and treat a wide variety of dental related issues with accuracy and predictability.
This advanced technology allows us to provide dental implant treatment here in our office. Dental implants are the next best thing to a natural tooth. They feel and function like your own tooth and support the health of the jaw bone.
Taking a dental X-ray in Buford, GA with our new Planmeca unit is also a very comfortable experience. You can either stand or sit in the unit while the imaging carousel revolves around your head. It takes only a few moments and for those patients who have a gag reflex, this offers an excellent alternative to sensors inside your mouth.
This system is also intelligent. It has features not found on any other system that really help elevate our patient care. For example, patients who find standing still to be challenging, our system compensates for movement during the scanning phase. This eliminates the need to retake an image.
Are Digital X-Rays Safe?
The radiation level produced by Digital x-rays is lower then the natural radiation we are exposed to in the environment. They are very safe for the patient and the environment. The digital x-ray image is captured electronically, so there is no need to develop the x-ray films; therefore, eliminating the disposal of harmful waste and chemicals into the environment.
Advantages of Digital Radiography over Standard X-Ray
- 90% less radiation
- Quicker dental appointments, since the dentist does not have to wait for the film to develop. Digital Image appears instantly on the screen.
- More accurate diagnosis. It allows the dentist to manipulate the images and they can really see more of the tooth structure and the contrast between different areas of the tooth than they could in traditional film-based radiography. They can magnify the image, they can colorize it, and use different measuring tools for more accurate diagnosis.
- Can be e-mail to a specialist or insurance company. For instance, if your dentist sees something that looks like an abnormality, he/she can e-mail the digital image to a specialist to get a second and third opinion quickly.
Hidden Problems That are Normally Detected by Digital Xrays
- Decay between the teeth
- Bone loss
- Abscesses or cysts
- Fractures in bones or teeth
- Tumors (Cancerous & non-cancerous)
- Poor tooth and root positions
- Problems below the gum line or inside a tooth
- And More
