Dental
Scan

HOW DENTAL SCAN IS PERFORMED

The procedure includes:

1. Preparation: Comfortable positioning and protective measures, such as a lead apron, to minimise radiation exposure.
2. Imaging: The scanning device captures detailed images of the targeted area.
3. Image Processing: Instant processing creates high-definition visuals of teeth, bone, and soft tissues.
4. Review and Discussion: The dentist reviews findings and plans treatments based on the results.

RESULTS

Dental scans provide:

• Accurate diagnoses of cavities, infections, or abnormalities not visible during a regular examination.
• Bone density assessments for implants or orthodontic planning.
• Detection of impacted teeth or cysts.
• Precise treatment planning for advanced procedures.
