The best possible care can only come after an accurate evaluation and precise diagnosis. In order to ensure your treatment is effective, efficient and genuinely improves your oral health, Dr. Coleman and his team use 3D X-rays to aid in the most accurate diagnoses available. This system is unlike traditional 2D X-rays because it offers a more comprehensive view of the whole mouth by creating a 3D image of both the upper and lower jaw, including all teeth and other facial structures. With the help of 3D technology, Dr. Coleman can:
- Assess whether there is a need for orthodontic treatment or is likely to be one in the future
- Evaluate the progress of treatment and adjust treatment plans accordingly
- Identify impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth
- Evaluate the temporomandibular joints (TMJ)
- Plan dental implant placement
- Evaluate the extent of facial or dental trauma when it occurs
- Detect abscesses, cysts and potential tumors early on
The X-ray machine we use is both comfortable and quick. You simply have to sit or stand in one place while the machine rotates around your head, creating a high-definition capture of your whole mouth almost instantaneously. We can then use these images to examine and evaluate your oral health and to reference when we are explaining your treatment options.
