Dental Imaging in The Woodlands, TX
3D Cone Beam Technology
The cone beam CT scanner is an advanced X-ray machine that rotates around a patient’s head to capture hundreds of images in a scan. These images are then reconstructed into a 3D image of your jaw or skull, enabling our dentists to detect any underlying issues with your teeth, nerves, and jawbone. This technology provides us with more detailed images and precise measurements than a traditional bitewing X-ray machine can provide. The images produced using a cone beam CT scan are more complex than the conventional 2D X-rays, enabling us to see a tooth from every angle. This assists in diagnosing issues such as impacted wisdom teeth and fractures that are not visible on a 2D X-ray.
Digital X-Rays
Our practice uses digital X-rays to heighten the diagnostic value of each patient’s appointments. Traditional X-rays use film to capture an image of the teeth and gums. These images take time to process and develop; over time, these films can become damaged. With digital X-rays, we can instantly see the image on a computer monitor right in front of the patient without waiting for any film to develop.
It is our goal to provide the highest quality of dental care possible. The advanced services we include in our practice allow us to do just that by encouraging our patients to be informed and prepared about their dental health.
