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
