3D Oral Wellness Scans
3D Oral Imaging in NYC
Smarter Prevention. Better Planning. More Confident Smiles.
At Terra Dental, we go beyond traditional exams. Every new patient visit and many of your routine recare visits include a 3D digital scan of your teeth and gums. This advanced imaging gives us an incredibly detailed, interactive view of your mouth — far beyond what standard exams or photos can show.
Whether we’re monitoring small changes in your enamel, checking for early cavities, or planning Invisalign and cosmetic treatments, these scans make your care more precise, more transparent, and more tailored to you.
Why 3D Oral Imaging Matters
Traditional exams and X-rays can only reveal so much. With our digital oral imaging, we can:
Detect tiny enamel cracks or wear before they become bigger problems
Catch early signs of cavities or gum changes that X-rays may miss
Visually show you any areas of concern, so you’re informed and confident in your care
Plan Invisalign, veneers, and bonding with millimeter-level precision
Track changes over time by comparing scans visit to visit
This isn’t just for major treatments. At Terra, it’s a standard part of how we protect your long-term oral wellness.
A More Comfortable Experience
Forget messy impression trays and awkward gagging. Our digital scanning process uses the newest iTero wand to create a full 3D model of your mouth comfortably and quickly. Most scans take just a few minutes, with nothing to bite down on and no residue to rinse away.
You’ll even be able to see a live color image of your teeth and gums on screen. Many patients find it fascinating to see what we see.
Who Benefits from Digital Oral Imaging?
Everyone. This is why we include it:
At every new patient visit, to establish a detailed baseline
At every other cleaning, to monitor for subtle changes
Whenever planning Invisalign, cosmetic bonding, veneers, or smile makeovers
If you have a history of grinding, clenching, or gum recession
It’s also a powerful tool for anyone who values prevention. Seeing even small issues up close makes it easier to take proactive steps — whether that’s adjusting your bite, adding fluoride, or scheduling a conservative restoration.
