3D Imaging
Three-dimensional Imaging allows our surgeons to provide our patients with the best possible oral surgery outcomes. 3D Imaging produces incredibly sharp, high-resolution images of the teeth and jaws, giving your surgeon views of your mouth, teeth, and jawbone that are not feasible with traditional X-rays. With these highly accurate scans, your surgeon can develop a personalized treatment plan that lowers the risk of complications.
What is 3D Imaging?
3D dental Imaging captures images with remarkable precision and sends them to a computer. The computer’s software assembles these images into a three-dimensional model of your teeth, jawbone, and skull. These images, with their unparalleled accuracy, allow us to diagnose and treat our patients with the utmost confidence.

The Kodak 9000 3D Cone Beam CT Scanner
At our oral and maxillofacial practice, we use the Kodak 9000 system. This state-of-the-art technology helps Dr. Fettig, Dr. Naumann, Dr. Pruner, and Dr. Zemplenyi diagnose potential issues more accurately and provide treatment with unprecedented confidence.
Unlike a traditional spiral CT scanner, this 3D system utilizes cone beam CT technology and provides precise, crystal-clear digital images while significantly minimizing your exposure to radiation. Our new 3D system enables us to perform a wider range of diagnoses and treatments in our office, helping to reduce multiple visits. The Kodak 9000 scanner also lets us choose the field of view or scanning area to target your treatment needs. This limits your radiation exposure because we focus on your area of concern, ensuring your safety and well-being.
The Kodak 9000 system provides unmatched visualization of anatomical detail, which aids in treatment planning and helps us better explain your case’s particulars and answer any questions you may have. Drs. Fettig, Naumann, Pruner, and Zemplenyi can use this innovative technology to share 3D images of the area of concern quickly and easily with your referring doctor, allowing the doctors to collaborate on your care, improve your experience, and deliver a positive treatment outcome.
