3D dental X-ray
We use ORTHOPHOS XG 3D, the most popular 3D X-ray unit in the world, to capture panoramic view X-ray of the whole jaw in a single span, also known as OPG (Orthopantomogram). The panoramic view is essential for planning an orthodontic treatment, for assessment of wisdom teeth or for a general overview of the teeth and the bone, which supports the teeth. Also, it may reveal disorders with the jawbone and the joint, which connects the jawbone to the head, called the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The field of view is large enough to avoid the stitching of several 3D X-ray images and thus multiple exposures to radiation. Principal advantage of 3D panoramic X-ray images: It is not painful Wide coverage of facial bones and teeth Low radiation dose for patient Convenience of examination for patient (films need not be placed inside the mouth) Suitable for patients who cannot open the mouth or when the opening is restricted due to disorders like Trismus Short time required for making the HD quality image Please note that we may ask you to remove jewelry, eyeglasses, and any metal objects that may obscure the images. Better implant planning with CEREC We can now create high-precision abutments and crowns in our digital dental lab. This is made possible by the unique, simultaneous surgical and prosthetic implant planning with CEREC. The software combines the prosthetic proposal with the 3D X-ray data allowing the dentist to determine the exact position of the implant while considering both function and aesthetics. The crown is designed based on the antagonist, soft tissue and neighboring teeth. Due to the unique procedure of the integrated implantology with CEREC, we will reduce the number of sessions necessary until the implanting process is completed, thus ensuring decisive economic advantages. Thanks to the combination of CEREC with Orthophos XG 3D, the entire process, starting with the planning and ending with the manufacture of highly precise abutments and crowns, will remain in our practice. This way, we will be able to exert complete control over the process, achieve highly precise and esthetic results and save time and money. You will value this comfort!
