3D IMAGING

Accurate 3D Imaging
for Coleman, TX & the Surrounding Areas

Today’s technology allows dentists to understand the root of dental problems with your teeth, gums, and jaw. 3D imaging is a tool we use to view your teeth at various angles, offering high-quality, detailed images that will give us a full picture of your teeth. The process involves taking images of your teeth and jaw as you sit still, and each image takes only a few seconds. The images will show both hard and soft tissue to give us a full picture of your mouth.


At Coleman County Dental Center, we use 3D imaging to give our patients a high level of care. We are always focused on helping our patients achieve and maintain beautiful, healthy smiles.


After taking an in-depth look at these 3D images, we can provide a diagnosis of the issue you’re facing and offer a dental service or procedure to address it. Dental services we provide include tooth extractions, root canals, dental implants, TMJ dentistry, dentures, and more.

How is 3D Imaging Different from X-Rays?

In-depth imaging of your teeth helps your dentist keep an eye on your oral health and identify issues that might not be visible to the naked eye. Coleman County Dental Center uses 3D imaging to examine our patients' teeth. 3D X-rays give clear, accurate, and timely results that can give our team a comprehensive idea of the situation. 3D imaging is different - and superior - to traditional X-Rays in many important ways.


  • Safety: 3D imaging uses a lower dose of radiation than traditional X-Rays, making it a safer diagnostic tool. We are committed to keeping our patients safe and healthy!
  • Speed: While 2D X-Rays traditionally take some time to gather data, 3D imaging only takes about 14-20 seconds to complete. The computer completes its reconstruction in less than 10 minutes, giving us plenty of time to analyze the results.
  • Quality: A 3D X-Ray can exhibit areas that are easily hidden in a 2D image result. This allows us to develop a more comprehensive treatment plan and makes it easier to educate patients due to the extreme detail the image provides.
  • Advanced Treatment: 3D imaging is perfect for orthodontic procedures, diagnostics, detecting jaw problems, planning for surgery, and accounting for the placement of dental implants. Taking a 3D image is a convenient and informative way to plan for more advanced treatment.
