What Is 3D Oral Imaging?
3D oral imaging is an advanced dental technology that provides highly detailed, three-dimensional images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. At Southwest Center for Oral Surgery, Dr. Eric Lewis uses this cutting-edge imaging to enhance diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical precision. Unlike traditional X-rays, 3D imaging offers a more comprehensive view, allowing for better evaluation of bone structure, nerve pathways, and soft tissues. This technology is especially useful for procedures like dental implants, extractions, and more, ensuring safer and more effective treatments. To learn how this technology can help enhance your dental treatment, contact our office in McComb, MS to schedule a consultation.
How Is 3D Oral Imaging Performed?
3D oral imaging is performed using a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner, a specialized device that rotates around the patient's head to capture detailed images of the teeth, jaw, and facial structures. The process is quick, noninvasive, and typically takes less than a minute. Patients simply stand or sit while the scanner moves around them, collecting multiple images that are then reconstructed into a precise 3D model. This advanced technology provides Dr. Lewis with a comprehensive view, allowing for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment planning for procedures like dental implants, extractions, and jaw surgery.

Southwest Center for Oral Surgery Reviews
Everyone was so nice, professional and helpful. Dr. Lewis was kind and caring.. he explained what my next appointment would involve. That would be cutting out a left lower back tooth that my dentist was unable to pull. He spent time with me answering all my questions. I brought a list of meds I take, allergies and medical conditions. I was impressed that he took the time to look over all that and addressed the fact that I have an autoimmune dx. He told me that after the surgery he would give me meds for pain and start me on an antibiotic, just to be safe. Trying to reduce the chance of infection.Very pleased with my experience there!
Outstanding work and care. Extremely friendly and supportive staff.
