3-D dental imaging--new tech dentistry is here

High-definition dental imaging—do you think it will ever play on Netflix? Probably not! But the dental world is excited about the new technology.

The i-CAT Cone Beam 3-D Dental Imaging equipment is replacing old-fashioned X-rays in advanced dental practices. The device uses less radiation and the entire process takes just seconds. The dentist simply checks his computer during your checkup to get a realistic reconstruction, including essential anatomical data, of your mouth.

Here’s a look at the photos it produces.

In Red Wing, Noesen Dentistry uses this high-tech device. The practice is located in the new River Bluff Business Park, close to the Mayo Clinic. The business park has attracted a wide range of industrial and service facilities.
