3D Imaging
The Best 3D Imaging in Brookhaven
Dental 3D imaging here at Brookhaven Dental Associates is a new technology that can deliver clear pictures to dental specialists. The technology has been in the development phase since the mid-1990s, and in 2010 dozens of companies were marketing products that use it.
The process starts when a digital scan of a patient's mouth is taken from several angles using specialized cameras and optical devices. This information is converted into a three-dimensional image, which can be viewed from any angle on a computer monitor or printed on paper.
​
Effective diagnosis forms the foundation to good dental healthcare. By embracing the latest innovations in the field, Brookhaven Dental Associates is always on top of the game. We use dental 3D imaging to get the finest details of your oral health and thanks to this technology, we have what it takes to give you the best possible care.

About Our Dental 3D Imaging Services
Dental 3D imaging allows our specialists to get a clear look at the structures in your oral cavity in amazing detail. Also known as Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanning, this method uses a small device to take a digital scan of your mouth from different angles.
​
There are various optical devices and special cameras tasked with carrying out the scan, and it converts this information into a 3D image. Your dental specialist can then view this image from any angle on paper or on a computer screen.
​
The image includes scans of your teeth, bones, and tissues, and allows a specialist to visualize the structure of your gums, nerves, roots, and how everything connects together. They can look through the scans at varying depths, zoom in and out, rotate the image, and look at it from every angle.

Benefits of Professional Dental 3D Imaging Services
While dental 3D imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool, it is important to have a professional handle the procedure for the best results. Our professionals are trained to use the tool right and interpret the images accurately. The highly detailed images can help an experienced dentist to spot potential problems early on and create an appropriate treatment plan.
​
A professional will also minimize exposure to radiation, focusing the scan to specific areas of concern. When planning complex procedures such as dental implant placement, accurately interpreting the image can reduce complications and improve the outcome.
​
Professionals can use this type of imaging to track changes in oral health over time and adapt the treatment plan accordingly. It can serve as a guide for preventive treatments, addressing problems before they become severe.
​
What to Expect at Your Dental 3D Imaging Appointment
During your consultation, a specialist will request you to sit or stand, placing your chin under the scanner which is mounted on an electric arm. You will be required to hold as still as possible in the right position as the scanner moves around your head taking images. It will create a digital image immediately, which the specialist can then use for diagnosis.
