What Is 3D Oral Imaging?
New dental technology now allows our dentists to get a full 360-degree view of the mouth with 3D oral imaging. 3D oral imaging helps our team at Aesthetic Dentistry Associates to understand the extent of oral health complications or areas of damage to your teeth, mouth, skull, and jaws. Compared to the 2D images previous utilizes, 3D imaging offers a quick and effective way to assess any potential dental problems, and determine and decipher what changes need to be made. It permits a faster diagnosis and more correct treatment options. The images that are taken could even be used to make more detailed dental implants, crowns, onlays, inlays, and more. 3D oral imaging allows us to thoroughly assist our Atascocita, TX patients in making educated choices about their dental treatments.
How Are 3D Oral Images Taken?
3D imaging, like digital dental x-rays, is typically taken during your annual exam. The actual process is similar to having an x-ray taken, but with 3D imaging, the cutting-edge imaging system will automatically rotate 360 degrees around your head. The whole process takes approximately less than a minute for a full-mouth view. The pictures are then uploaded for Dr. Umansky to examine and determine whether you are experiencing any dental problems that may necessitate treatment. As the imaging process can expose individuals to radiation, women who are nursing or pregnant should let our team know beforehand. Additionally, children should limit their radiation exposure and only undergo 3D imaging when needed and recommended by a professional.

Aesthetic Dentistry Associates Reviews
I really like this dental office. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It's a beautiful facility, it's clean, and they seem to always fit you in when needed. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they lack consistency as far as dentists that work there. I have had 3 different dentists the last three years. For whatever reason, they are always hiring new dentists to replace the ones that leave. All of them have been friendly and good dentists, I can't complain there, but I just wish I could build a good doctor/patient rapport with a single dentist, and not have to meet a new one every year.
The staff were great. Very thorough and no wait time. Great experience!
Highly recommend this place to everyone. Always so nice and friendly
Professional. Took extra time I needed and did not rush me.
Dr Bollman took good care of me.... No pain at any point having my first ever tooth pulled at age 53...
