In what ways does a 5D scan improve general dentistry?
The reasons are numerous. For one, 5D scan technology uses no radiation compared to traditional x-rays. In addition, 5D scans are more comfortable than bulky x-ray sensors in your mouth. Finally, and most importantly, 5D scanning is an accurate method for obtaining information about your dental health. We now call it 5D because of the use of a 3D format with the addition of infra-red technology. This latest addition gives us the ability to see into the tooth without x-rays.
