We are proud to feature the Planmeca ProMax® 3D Plus, a cutting-edge imaging system that revolutionizes how we plan and perform dental implants, wisdom tooth extractions, and oral surgeries.

Why 3D Imaging Matters for Your Dental Health

Traditional 2D X-rays are useful, but they only tell part of the story. When it comes to complex procedures like implant placement or evaluating facial trauma, a flat image isn’t enough.

We utilize Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to create a high-definition, three-dimensional digital model of your mouth, jaw, and facial structure. This allows Dr. Biondo to see:

  • Precise bone width and density (crucial for implants).
  • Exact location of nerves and sinus cavities to avoid complications.
  • Hidden infections or fractures invisible to the naked eye.
  • Airway analysis for sleep apnea concerns.

The Planmeca ProMax® 3D Plus Advantage

Not all 3D scanners are created equal. We chose the Planmeca ProMax® 3D Plus for our NYC patients because it offers a distinct combination of safety, comfort, and clarity.

Ultra Low Dose™ Technology: Safety First

Your long-term health is our priority. The Planmeca ProMax features a proprietary Ultra Low Dose (ULD) protocol. This ground-breaking technology reduces patient radiation exposure by up to 77% compared to standard imaging protocols, without sacrificing image quality. You get the diagnostic benefits of a 3D scan with a radiation dose often lower than a traditional 2D panoramic X-ray.

Planmeca CALM® for Crystal Clear Images

Even slight movements can blur a digital scan. Our system utilizes Correction Algorithm for Latent Movement (CALM), which automatically corrects for patient movement during the scan. This means:

  • Fewer retakes needed.
  • Less time in the chair.
  • Consistently sharp images for accurate diagnosis.

Open and Comfortable Design

We understand that many patients experience anxiety during dental visits. The ProMax 3D Plus features an open-face architecture, meaning you are not enclosed in a tight tube. You can stand or sit comfortably while the scanner rotates openly around you, making it ideal for patients with claustrophobia or those in wheelchairs.

How This Technology Improves Your Treatment

Dr. Biondo uses this advanced imaging to enhance every aspect of your oral surgery care:

Procedure How 3D Imaging Helps
Dental Implants Allows for “virtual surgery” planning, ensuring the implant is placed in the optimal position for longevity and aesthetics.
Wisdom Teeth Visualizes the exact relationship between tooth roots and the alveolar nerve, significantly reducing the risk of nerve injury during extraction.
Oral Pathology Detects cysts, tumors, and lesions early with high-resolution clarity that standard X-rays might miss.
Trauma & Fractures Provides a comprehensive view of facial bone fractures for precise reconstruction.
