A Better Picture

3D Imaging in Port St. Lucie

During the process of diagnosis in endodontics, imaging is vital. In the past, endodontists used standard x-rays on film, which only showed images in two dimensions. Mikhail Gankin, DMD, uses digital x-rays and 3D dental imaging, also called cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in Port St. Lucie. This tool helps us better diagnose problems and allows Dr. Gankin to choose the best endodontic treatment for your needs.

Reduce Risks

What is 3D imaging

The latest development in 3D imaging is called Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). It works like traditional CT scanners, but it uses much less radiation and can make a high-definition, three-dimensional image in seconds.

Because we care most about our patients' health and safety, we use CBCT technology in our office. Using 3-D imaging can help doctors make the right diagnosis and develop the best treatment plan for you. It allows Dr. Gankin to treat the complicated parts of the tooth root more effectively and makes your appointment go more smoothly. In addition, CBCT imaging gives a more accurate picture of your situation than traditional 2-D images. This makes treatment more likely to work and reduces the risks involved.

Improve Success

What are the benefits of 3D imaging?

Problems, like a crack in the root, can be found and fixed faster. Dr. Gankin can better deal with problems in the root, such as finding hidden canals.

3D imaging allows for faster treatment by making it easier to see important parts of the tooth, like a nerve bundle near a root. This makes the treatment safer. By looking at the 3D images before treatment, Dr. Gankin can figure out what needs to be done to fix the tooth and get accurate measurements of its size.

Your Smile Matters

Your 3D Imaging Consultation

No matter your needs, 3D imaging makes it possible to plan and tailor your care in ways that have never been possible. In addition, you can be entirely sure and happy with the respect you get because Dr. Gankin has looked at every problem with 3D technology.

Quick and Easy

Your 3D Imaging Procedure

The digital x-ray scanner in the ConeBeam CT imaging system goes around your head once as you stand or sit in a chair.

The process is quick, easy, and doesn't hurt at all. We use these scans to find the best way to treat dental implants, root canals, dental and facial pain, and other problems.

3D Imaging Frequently Asked Questions

How long doe 3D imaging take?

3D dental x-rays can get all the pictures from different angles in a single orbit that takes about ten seconds for a regional scan or 20 to 40 seconds for a full mouth x-ray. This cuts down on time spent on the x-ray while eliminating the risk of image flaws caused by your natural movement.

Does insurance cover 3D imaging?

Yes! 3D imaging is covered by most insurance providers to ensure you get the best care.
