What Is 3D Imaging?
3D imaging is an advanced diagnostic tool that captures highly detailed, three-dimensional views of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, allowing for more precise planning and treatment. At Southeastern Oral Surgery and Dental Implants, 3D imaging technology is used to provide clear, comprehensive insights that traditional x-rays cannot offer. This innovative approach helps ensure greater accuracy for procedures such as dental implant placement, wisdom teeth removal, and bone grafting, leading to safer surgeries, better outcomes, and a higher level of personalized patient care. To learn more about how 3D oral imaging can help improve your dental results, contact Southeastern Oral Surgery to schedule a consultation.
How Does 3D Imaging Work?
3D imaging scans, performed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), work by rotating around the patient's head to capture hundreds of detailed images in just a few seconds. During the scan, the patient either stands or sits still while the machine completes a full rotation, using a cone-shaped x-ray beam to gather data from multiple angles. These images are then compiled into a single, high-resolution 3D model of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. This model allows our oral surgeons to view anatomy with exceptional clarity, aiding in accurate diagnosis and precise treatment planning — all while using a low radiation dose and providing a comfortable, noninvasive experience for the patient.
What Are the Benefits of 3D Oral Imaging?
3D oral imaging offers precise, detailed insights that improve diagnosis, planning, and overall treatment outcomes. Benefits include:
- Provides high-resolution, 3D views of oral structures
- Enhances accuracy in surgical planning
- Detects issues not visible on traditional X-rays
- Improves dental implant placement precision
- Reduces risk of complications during procedures
- Uses low radiation exposure
- Allows for faster, more informed diagnoses
- Increases patient understanding with visual models
- Helps assess bone density and nerve location
- Supports personalized, efficient treatment plans
Southeastern Oral-Maxillofacial and Cosmetic Surgery Center, P.C. Reviews
My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Falconer and his team. Absolutely amazing treatment and service. He truly is awesome in what he does. My daughter could not stop saying how quick her procedure was. She was so worried going in but came out a champ! Thank you team!
Dr. Evans is the best Oral Surgeon ever. I have used him many times now. He has never hurt me. I have never had any pain after any of the surgeries he has done on me. He is the ONLY Oral Surgeon I will use. Thank You Dr. Evans 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
5th time is the charm apparently. Was finally able to have my broken tooth removed. Highly recommended if you need oral surgery. Very pleased with the experience. Little to no pain and very swift. Didn't try to sell me anything I didn't want. Simple tooth extraction. As a Veteran on a referral i was treated very well here.
Dr Evans and his staff are consummate professionals who endeavor to provide the best care and services to their patients. They are friendly, communicative and work together as an effective, unified team. My wife (RN) and I (RRT) are retired healthcare professionals and recognize excellent healthcare providers when we encounter them.
Went here for my wisdom teeth removal. Very friendly people all of the nurses and the doctor doing the surgery explained everything simply for me to understand. Gave clear instructions for after surgery care, and didn't get offended when they were trying to get me out of the wheel chair and into the car. (Apparently I didn't want to listen to them after coming out of the anesthesia)
