3D Oral Imaging in Albany, NY

Overview

While digital oral x-rays are able to capture two-dimensional pictures of your teeth, 3D oral imaging can provide a 360-degree, extremely detailed view of your oral structures. 3D imaging, including cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and CT scanning, helps board-certified oral surgeons Drs. Stephen DeMarco, Diego Miron, Timothy Adams, and Luis Delgado evaluate the entire extent of oral health issues or damage in the jaw, teeth, sinus cavities, nerves, airways, and other structures. It is an innovative technology that offers a high-resolution visualization of each individual's overall oral health and an important tool we use when planning for tooth extractions, implant placements, and other surgical procedures. In addition to helping us assess possible dental health issues occurring below the gums or within the jaw, 3D CT scans and CBCT imaging allow our Albany, NY team to treat patients with even greater accuracy and efficiency for positive oral health outcomes. 3D oral imaging at Capital District Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons also permits our experts to thoroughly assist Albany, NY patients in making educated, informed decisions pertaining to their dental treatments.

Best Candidates

3D imaging can be used to diagnose a wide number of dental problems for patients of any age. For children, it provides the opportunity to monitor changes and developments in dental and facial growth and identify complications early on. Cone beam and CT scans can also be utilized throughout orthodontic treatments to determine whether teeth are aligning and shifting as planned and when planning treatment time for wisdom tooth extractions. Adults considering dental implants for tooth replacement, individuals having cysts or tumors in the bone, or those who need corrective jaw surgery can benefit from 3D imaging technology as this approach increases precision in treatment planning, as well as clinical results.

What to Expect

Like dental x-rays, CT scanning and CBCT imaging is generally a part of your standard dental examination when visiting Capital District Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons for care. The actual procedures are very comfortable and are similar to having a panoramic x-ray taken. When undergoing 3D imaging, our state-of-the-art scanner will rotate 360-degrees around your head, capturing extremely detailed images of your face, jaw, and head as it moves. The entire process takes only about 20 – 40 seconds to render a complete whole-mouth view. The images are then uploaded to your patient chart and stored on our computer. Our team will review the images with you and point out any areas of concern or indications of dental conditions that may require treatment. Since the CT scanning and cone beam imaging processes do use a low amount of radiation, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are advised to let us know beforehand.

Dr Delgado and team, it was an absolute pleasure. Thank you for the patience and care you took in performing my son’s surgery. Dr Delgado’s follow up call, post surgery, was something we least expected, this is service and care beyond measure. Your office staff and nurses are amazing. Definitely a well recommended oral surgeon and facility, if you are in need of oral surgery or care.

Words can't express my gratitude for the care that my son received from Dr. Delgado and his team. They created a caring, welcoming, and professional environment. They were non-judgemental and patient in answering my long list of questions, including the weird ones. I am impressed by their kindness and professionalism. The moment I noted the separate holders for the new pens and used pens, I understood why this place feels so special. Dr. Delgado, Kim, and Tracy (in alphabetical order) are exemplary healthcare professionals who pay attention to every detail.

I went to see Dr. Delgado for a consultation. I needed three teeth removed. Dr. Delgado was very nice. He listened to my concerns about the surgery. He told me exactly what was going to be done and made sure I understood everything and took my concerns seriously. On the day or the surgery, I was really nervous. Both he and his staff helped to calm me down. Surgery went well. I healed well. I highly recommend Dr. Delgado. He is an excellent surgeon.

This has to be by far the best experience i have ever had with a Dr./Dentist. After many issues with other facilities and told most places wouldn't see me till March and the amount of pain i was in i called the Albany location. They told me they would see me this week. I asked if there was any way they could get me in today as it was an emergency. They agreed and set a same day appointment. When i arrived a friendly face Davia was there to reassure me they would help and take care of my issues. Dr JONATHAN MORCOS was incredible and knew what needed to be done. He made arrangements to do the procedure i needed right there and then. By far i would recommend this practice to any family and friends and i will be sure to return for any other dental care needed. Thank you again James
