THE BENEFITS OF 3D IMAGING

Obtaining images of the smile can help dentists evaluate the smile and provide the necessary services. Dr. Darren Gonzalez of Santa Rosa, CA, is a professional who is pleased to offer 3D dental imaging at his state-of-the-art dental facility.

What is 3D dental imaging?

3D dental imaging is a type of x-ray technology that produces three-dimensional images of the teeth, gums, and jaws. This is helpful in many different situations. Dr. Darren Gonzalez can use this type of imaging to:

• Diagnose and treat various dental conditions.
• Plan and execute treatment procedures, such as root canals and tooth extractions.
• Assess the results of previous treatments.
• Decide if a patient is a proper candidate for certain dental treatments and solutions.
• Compliment other diagnostic tools, such as oral examinations and dental x-rays.

What are the advantages of using 3D dental imaging services?

There are many benefits to using 3D dental imaging services, such as:

• Allowing our dentist to take a closer look at all aspects of your smile, including the bones, gums, and soft tissue.
• Providing more accurate measurements than traditional x-rays.
• Reducing the amount of radiation that the patient is exposed to with each image.
• Creating images that can be rotated and viewed from different angles.
• Helping our dentists develop a more comprehensive treatment plan for each patient.
• Reducing the need for multiple appointments or second opinions.

What should I expect during my 3D dental imaging appointment?

During your 3D dental imaging appointment, our team will walk you through the process of obtaining these images. Just like traditional x-rays, a small device will be placed in your mouth. You will be asked to bite down on the device for a few seconds while the x-ray is being taken. The images resulting from this are sent to a computer, where they will be viewed by Dr. Darren Gonzalez. After the images have been reviewed, he discusses the findings with you and develops a treatment plan, if necessary. The images can then be stored in the computer system for fast and easy storage and retrieval in the future.
