Diagnostic images have been incredibly important in the history of modern medicine. From the invention of the X-ray to the MRI, millions of people have benefitted from diagnostic imaging because it allows physicians a look at the health of structures that are not outwardly visible. When it comes to oral and maxillofacial surgery, diagnostic images are essential to the diagnosis and treatment of a number of conditions. Using the latest technology available, our oral surgeons are proud to offer 3D imaging. 3D Imaging and Oral Healthcare Traditional X-rays only provide a two dimensional view of a patient’s teeth or craniofacial region. Two-dimensional images provide a limited view of structures beneath the skin and soft oral tissues. Three-dimensional images, on the other hand, offer a more comprehensive look at a particular area.
