3D Scanning

Advanced technology, compassionate care, and excellent outcomes. That’s what we strive to provide at Shawn B. Davis, DMD, Oral & Facial Surgery Institute, Dental Implant Specialists. Dr. Davis, our renowned oral surgeon, utilizes cutting edge 3D imaging technology, digital X-rays, digital impressions, guided implant placements, and intraoral scanners to plan for procedures that will provide optimal outcomes.

Benefits of 3D Scans

Compared to traditional 2D scans, 3D scanning technology adds depth to medical scans and has been developed in medicine since the 1990s, providing clear benefits over 2D imaging by showing oral structures in three dimensions, including:

Easily shareable images to send to your dentist.
Less radiation exposure.
Improved diagnostic accuracy for treatment planning, since CT and MRI create 3D models from multiple 2D slices of the body.
Ultrasound is another option, using high-frequency sound waves to produce volumetric images of the human body.
Highly detailed images of the face, mouth, neck, and head from different angles with more precise measurements that support precise planning for dental implants in Mesquite, NV.
Supports surgical planning and helps reduce complications during a procedure.

How 3D Scans Help in Oral Surgery

3D CT scanners generate highly accurate and clear digital images of the oral cavity and maxillofacial regions, leading to the most accurate diagnosis possible. At Oral & Facial Surgery, we use 3D scanners to help plan for various procedures including oral pathology, dental implant insertion, full-arch restoration, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, oral pathology, exposure and bonding, and facial surgeries.

By using these scans to generate highly accurate surgical guides, we are able to provide excellent care and optimal outcomes for our patients. They also enhance safety because surgeons are able to accurately treat the affected area so as not to damage other facial structures during a procedure.

Prioritizing Your Health and Safety

Knowing that some patients are sensitive to radiation, we prioritize your safety and only take 3D scans when necessary for treatment. Our team will assess your individual needs to determine the most appropriate course of action to enhance your oral health.
