What Is 2D & 3D Dental Imaging?

2D and 3D imaging refers to the use of digital radiographic technologies—like panoramic X-rays and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)—to capture detailed views of your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, nerves, and surrounding structures. These imaging methods go beyond traditional X-rays, giving us a deeper understanding of your oral anatomy and helping us detect issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.

How 2D & 3D Works

  • 2D Imaging: Captures flat panoramic views of the entire mouth, ideal for identifying cavities, jaw alignment, and gum issues.
  • 3D Imaging (CBCT): Creates high-resolution, three-dimensional images for in-depth analysis—especially useful for implants, root canals, TMJ diagnosis, and surgical planning.

Conditions & Uses for Dental Imaging

Our imaging technology supports a wide range of dental treatments and diagnostic needs. It plays a crucial role in detecting and managing complex dental and oral health conditions such as:

  • Tooth decay or dental abscesses
  • Impacted teeth (like wisdom teeth)
  • TMJ disorders
  • Bone loss or gum disease
  • Facial trauma or injury
  • Planning dental implants or oral surgery
  • Root canal mapping and endodontic procedures
  • Orthodontic assessment and planning

FAQ

FAQs

Answers to your frequently asked questions.

How is 3D imaging different from regular dental X-rays?

3D imaging offers a full 360-degree view of your teeth, jaw, and facial structures, allowing for more detailed analysis and planning.

Will I need both 2D and 3D scans?

Not always. We recommend the imaging type based on your unique needs—some treatments require both for comprehensive planning.

How long does a CBCT scan take?

Most 3D scans are completed in under a minute, with immediate image availability.

Do I need to prepare for a 3D dental scan?

No special preparation is needed. Just remove any metal accessories like earrings or glasses before the scan.
