3D dental image

A 3D image, also known as a computer tomography scan, is one of the most accurate radiological diagnostic tools. Unlike a two-dimensional X-ray, this tool allows you to see deeper internal body structures, leading to more effective problem diagnosis and a precise treatment plan. You can be sure that at the ‘Ozo’ clinic, you will receive innovative 3D dental imaging. The price, compared to the versatility of the technology and its great benefits, is very affordable and easily accessible to everyone.

What is a 3D dental image?

In modern dentistry, computer tomography is perhaps the most important and accurate diagnostic tool. The image taken provides an extremely precise, real, and undistorted view of both the upper and lower jaws. Moreover, it also shows the surrounding areas: sinuses, airways, and the temporomandibular joints. A 3D image helps not only to determine the anatomy of complex tooth roots but also the size of an inflammatory focus, the extent of damage, and the condition of the adjacent tissues and teeth. A 3D image also helps assess:

• Periodontal pathologies.
• Bone fractures.
• Root fractures.
• Tooth position anomalies.
• Foreign bodies.
• The overall condition of the jaw area tissues.

By accurately evaluating the problematic case, the anatomical condition of tissues and teeth, dentists can precisely, effectively, and efficiently plan the entire treatment process, including necessary surgical procedures.

When is a 3D dental image taken?

The cost of a 3D dental image may surpass other procedures, but this should not be the deciding factor. In reality, a panoramic 3D dental image is required for the majority of treatment cases. Quality is crucial, so dentists confidently apply it in many cases to assess the condition of teeth. This panoramic image is also taken when the goal is to identify cavities, caries changes, assess root condition, tooth changes, the position of wisdom teeth, bone loss, and untreated root canals. More specifically, a 3D image is required when planning:

• Orthodontic treatment with braces.
• Prosthetic work.
• Surgical procedures (dental implantation, bone augmentation, extraction of a retained or wisdom tooth).
• To assess the overall condition of teeth and jaws.
• To evaluate the condition of the periodontium.

A 3D dental image is important to perform if you want to ensure high-quality and precise treatment. It can refine a diagnosis that was made based on a two-dimensional X-ray, allowing dentists to more accurately identify diseases and treat them with greater precision, including surgeries. Relying only on a two-dimensional X-ray image may lead to more frequent errors and uncertainty in diagnosing pathologies.

Does computer tomography harm health?

Are you worried about tomography because you believe in the supposed health risks associated with 3D dental imaging? The cost you pay for the image will not turn into an amount needed for damage recovery. The specialists at the ‘Ozo’ clinic assure you that 3D imaging is completely safe for your health.

The 3D imaging machine emits an extremely narrow beam of radiation, so the exposure is very low, and the tests performed with the machine are safe. New digital technologies have reduced the radiation dose from X-rays by several dozen percent, so there is no need to worry.

Why is it worth getting 3D images at the ‘Ozo’ clinic?

The specialists at the ‘Ozo’ clinic use only safe, comfortable tools for patient treatment that do not harm health. When you arrive, you can be sure that innovative solutions are being applied, and top-quality equipment is being used. Interested in a 3D image? Check out the prices.
