Dental Imaging Technologies

Dental imaging technologies are advanced tools used by dentists to visualize the interior of a patient's mouth and teeth. Common types include X-rays, which use radiation to capture images of teeth and bone structure; digital imaging, which provides quick, high-resolution pictures; and 3D imaging, which offers detailed models of the mouth and jaw. These technologies help diagnose issues like cavities, gum disease, and structural problems, enabling effective treatment planning. By allowing a clear view of what lies beneath the surface, dental imaging enhances patient care and outcomes.
