How Is 3D Imaging Done?
3D imaging at Shoals Oral & Facial Surgery is a comfortable, straightforward process. First, you'll be asked to sit comfortably in the scanning chair. A small, protective vest may be placed over your body to minimize radiation exposure. You'll be asked to remain still while the system rotates around your head, capturing multiple images from different angles. This process typically takes just a few minutes. During the scan, you may hear some gentle clicking or whirring sounds, but it's completely painless. Once the scan is complete, we'll process the images and review them with you, discussing your options to develop a personalized treatment plan.
