3D radiography

With the advent of 3D imaging, it is now possible to visualize the various bones of the face and jaw, tooth roots, nerves, arteries and sinuses, in 3 dimensions and with the utmost precision. In addition to providing this anatomical information, 3D radiography is an unrivalled tool for better planning any future oral intervention, from wisdom tooth extraction to implant placement.

With this precise data in hand, the team of dental surgeon and denturologist can better plan interventions, choose the best prosthesis for each individual case, and avoid the risk of complications.

The maxillofacial region is one of the most complex in the human anatomy, with many bones, muscles and nerves united in a small space. It is thanks to the arrival of technologies like 3D imaging that dental procedures such as implantology have been able to evolve and achieve success rates now exceeding 97%, depending on the type of surgery. In fact, a 3D X-ray machine like the one from Numérica Dentaire enables detailed analysis of the area to be treated, providing invaluable information on bone density, nerve position and tooth alignment.

3D CBCT radiography

Our 3D CBCT radiography (short for “Cone-Beam Computed Tomography of teeth") is a specialized digital radiography tool that provides more information and precision than traditional radiographs. It generates more detailed 3D images of oral structures, soft and hard tissues, nerves, bones, airways and more. Easy to use for the clinical team and comfortable for the patient, the CBCT features a motorized arm that rotates 360° around the patient's head to capture a host of images from a variety of angles. These images are then combined to create a complete 3D visualization of your oral condition.

With the CBCT scanner, the dental surgeon is able to diagnose bone quality, assess the position of oral structures, etc., among other things to:

1. Plan the position of dental implants or bone grafts.
2. Design prostheses to suit your occlusion and aesthetics.
3. Indicate the precise placement of future implants.
