3-D Imaging In Houston, Texas 77095

3D imaging is also known as beam CT scanning. It is so named because of the mechanics involved in the procedure. This process ensures accuracy because the beam is released at various angles, giving perfect images. At A+ Stars Smile in Houston, TX, 3-D imaging is not like regular x-rays; it makes both 2D or 3D scans of your soft tissues and hard bones as well.

The image is produced on the computer, observable from all directions, making it easy for the dentist to focus on even the minutest of issues arising within your oral cavity.

3-D imaging in our dental office is performed with much care using state of the art technologies. It is a simple and painless procedure that requires no prior preparation. The cone beam scanner is fixed like an arm that moves around your head while you stand or are seated. You place your chin on a special area for the dentist to scan images; all of this takes no less than a minute.

Some dental x-rays require biting down the sensor, which is not the case with 3-D imaging. A disposable tab is placed on the mouth for alignment purposes only, that too for less than a minute.

The dental professionals must be experts and familiar with the machinery for accurate results. We assure you that every dentist working with us at our Texas office is well versed with 3-D imagining equipment and its procedure.

One of the admirable qualities of this process are ease and comfort. It is non-invasive and painless, so you will not feel anything during or after the scan, you can get on with the daily routine immediately. The results will come later on and discussed in another meeting.
