Careful treatment begins with a precise diagnosis. Our digital imaging provides high-resolution 2D and – when necessary – three-dimensional images (CBCT) at a significantly reduced radiation exposure compared with conventional films. This allows us to better detect hidden findings such as inflammation, caries between the teeth or bone conditions.
Our approach
Digital images are immediately available in high quality and can be discussed with you directly on screen. Especially in implantology and endodontics, three-dimensional diagnostics form an important basis for treatment planning.
Benefits
- Reduced radiation exposure compared with analogue technology
- High-resolution 2D and 3D images (CBCT)
- Immediate availability and on-screen discussion
- A sound basis for treatment planning
Indications
- Implant planning
- Unclear or atypical pain
- Endodontic clarification
- Assessment of bone and jaw structures
Procedure
- Selection of the appropriate image (2D or 3D/CBCT)
- Short, low-radiation image capture
- Digital evaluation of the findings
- Joint discussion and planning of the next steps
Aftercare
No special aftercare is required. We discuss the results with you in an understandable way and derive the appropriate next steps from them.
FAQ
How high is the radiation exposure really?
Modern digital devices work with a very low dose. We carefully weigh the benefit of every image and only take X-rays when diagnostically necessary.
Do I need to prepare for the image?
Usually not. Please inform us in advance if you are or could be pregnant.
What is a 3D image (CBCT) for?
The three-dimensional representation shows bone, nerves and tooth roots spatially – a helpful basis for planning implants and complex treatments.
