Why You Need a 3D Dental Scan: Safe, Painless, and Part of Your Routine Dental Health Review

At our practice, your oral health is about more than just today – it’s about tracking progress over time. That’s why every new patient receives a 3D dental scan, and why we repeat scans for existing patients when clinically appropriate, to monitor changes and see how your smile is progressing. When required, these scans are carried out as part of your dental health review at no extra cost.

What is a 3D Dental Scan?

A 3D dental scan is a modern imaging tool that creates a detailed, three-dimensional picture of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Unlike traditional X-rays, our 3D scans are completely radiation-free, making them safe for everyone, including pregnant patients.

These scans allow us to see changes that may not be visible during a routine dental health review, such as early signs of gum disease, teeth alignment issues, or other dental concerns.

Why We Do 3D Scans for Every Patient

• For New Patients: The 3D scan gives us a complete picture of your oral health from the start. It helps us create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

• For Existing Patients: Repeating the scan when clinically appropriate allows us to track changes in your teeth, gums, and jaw. This way, any issues can be detected early, often before you notice symptoms.

What Are the Benefits of a 3D Scan?

• Early Detection: Catch problems before they become serious, reducing the need for invasive treatments.

• Safe and Painless: No radiation is used, so the scan is completely safe and comfortable.

• No Extra Cost: The scan is included in your dental health review, so you get this advanced technology at no additional charge.

• Peace of Mind: Knowing your teeth and gums are healthy gives you confidence in your smile.

How Does It Work?

The scan is quick and non-invasive. You simply sit in the chair while a small scanner moves around your mouth. The entire process takes only a few minutes and is completely painless. The resulting 3D images are immediately available for your dentist to review during your dental health review.

Conclusion

3D dental scans are an essential part of modern dentistry. They are safe, included in your routine dental health review, and allow us to detect changes early, keeping your smile healthy. By performing a scan for every new patient and when required for existing patients, we ensure your dental health is monitored accurately and proactively.
