Discover Hidden Issues Early with 3D Scanning Technology

At Van Huffel DDS, we utilize cutting-edge 3D scanning technology to provide a detailed, comprehensive view of your mouth, facial structures, and head and neck like never before. Using CATS scan technology, we can see the true depth of your oral anatomy in three dimensions, allowing us to diagnose problems early and prevent future emergencies.

Unparalleled Precision with 3D Imaging

Traditional 2D imaging often misses critical details because it flattens multiple layers of bone, roots, and teeth into a single image. With 3D scans, we can take “slices” of these structures, allowing us to view them from every angle—just like looking at a drone photo that lets you zoom in and rotate. This advanced technology gives us the ability to see things that were previously hidden, such as infections, bone issues, or hidden pathology. We can catch issues that would have been missed in a traditional X-ray, helping us provide a higher level of care.

Early Detection, Preventing Emergencies

The real benefit of 3D scanning is its ability to catch problems early. Rather than waiting until a toothache turns into a dental emergency, we can identify infections or cysts long before they become a painful issue. By spotting these problems early, we help patients avoid last-minute trips to the dentist during holidays or weekends when care is harder to access. With early detection, we can address issues when they’re small, saving patients from more complex and costly treatments down the road.

3D Scans at No Additional Cost

At Van Huffel DDS, we offer 3D scans as part of our routine diagnostic care at no extra cost to our patients. Previously, panoramic X-rays were taken every three years, but now we provide this enhanced, three-dimensional view during the same routine check-ups. This means you’re getting a more accurate picture of your oral health without any additional financial burden, ensuring that you receive the best care possible.

Protecting Your Health with 3D Technology

At Van Huffel DDS, our 3D scanning technology allows us to go beyond basic diagnostics. By providing clear, detailed images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, we can offer you a more accurate diagnosis and a proactive approach to your dental health. From preventing infections to identifying hidden pathology, 3D scanning technology gives us the tools to keep your smile healthy and pain-free for years to come.
