3D Imaging
At Berson Family Dentistry, we are passionate about bringing the latest technology to our patients. Accurate imaging is essential for many procedures, from simple cavity treatment to complex dental implants. Through advanced 3D imaging, our team can get an accurate picture of what is happening inside your mouth.
How Does 3D Imaging Work?
When you visit Berson Family Dentistry for a dental procedure, we can capture and view 3D imaging in real-time. Your appointment will start with scans of your teeth and the rest of your mouth using an intraoral device or an X-ray arm rotating around your head. These scans are then entered into our software to create real-time, three-dimensional digital models of your teeth. The process is fast and pain-free.
Common Times When 3D Imaging Makes Sense
There are many procedures that require clear imaging for dentists to perform well.
You can visit our team for 3D imaging in Monticello, NY, for the following conditions or procedures:
- Tooth pain.
- Cavities.
- Dental implants.

Risks and Benefits of 3D Imaging
Unlike traditional X-rays, 3D imaging carries minimal risk. This technology uses less radiation than traditional X-rays and requires less time. It also has no need for you to bite down on an uncomfortable film cartridge. You can stand or sit comfortably while the device takes the images.
Another benefit of this treatment is its speed. Your 3D images are sent directly to the computer, so you receive instant visuals of what is going on inside your mouth. This speed allows your dental team to make plans at the same appointment where we capture the images so you can get treatment more quickly.
This treatment also creates greater diagnostic accuracy. The 3D models are more accurate than traditional flat X-rays, and they can also allow dentists to show what might happen after treatment. Greater precision leads to improved outcomes for our patients.
If you are looking for dental treatment and want accuracy and speed, then 3D imaging should be part of your treatment. Reach out to our team at Berson Family Dentistry to schedule an evaluation to see if you can benefit from this diagnostic tool.
