What Is 3D Imaging?
3D imaging is an advanced technology that provides a comprehensive 360-degree view of a patient's oral health. Unlike traditional two-dimensional x-rays, 3D imaging allows dental professionals to examine the entire oral cavity, including the jaw, skull, teeth, and mouth. At North Mississippi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, we are proud to use advanced cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technologies like the Carestream CS 9600 imaging system and i-CAT™ FLX to capture detailed images that help in diagnosing dental issues accurately and formulating precise treatment plans while utilizing fewer doses of radiation than traditional 2D imaging. 3D imaging with our CBCT technology enables our team to create custom dental restorations such as crowns, onlays, inlays, and implants, leading to better treatment outcomes for our patients. To learn more about 3D imaging and how it may help maximize your dental care, contact one of our offices in Tupelo, Southaven, or Corinth, MS.
How Is 3D Imaging Performed?
When performing 3D imaging as part of a dental exam, specialized imaging systems like the Carestream CS 9600 and i-CAT FLX are used. The process is similar to getting x-rays taken, but with 3D imaging, the system rotates 360 degrees around your head to capture detailed images of your teeth and jaw. This process typically takes less than a minute to complete for a full-mouth view. These images are then reviewed by our to assess any potential dental issues that may require treatment.
What Are the Benefits of 3D Oral Imaging?
3D oral imaging offers enhanced diagnostic precision, treatment planning, and patient care, making it a valuable tool in modern dentistry. Benefits include:
- Provides highly detailed, three-dimensional views of teeth, gums, and surrounding structures
- Improves accuracy in diagnosing complex dental issues, such as hidden decay or fractures
- Enhances treatment planning for procedures like dental implants and root canals
- Reduces the need for exploratory surgery with precise imaging of affected areas

North Mississippi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates Reviews
The staff is excellent. Thank you!!
Absolutely wonderful. Great customer service as well.
My son’s experience getting his wisdom teeth out was fantastic! We went in for a consult and same day surgery. We received all the information needed to care for his teeth and understand his prescriptions. The surgery( to remove 4 teeth) was very quick! I will definitely be using them again for my other children.
Dr. Chrisman has been my oral surgeon for decades. Everyone in the office is great!
Great staff! Made my girl feel comfortable and included, they were very understanding and willing to explain things in depth! Thankful we were referred to them!
