What is 3D Oral Imaging?
At Cape Fear Endodontics, we use 3D oral imaging to enhance precision and patient care. This advanced technology produces detailed, three-dimensional views of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, giving endodontists a clearer picture than traditional x-rays. By providing greater accuracy and insight, 3D oral imaging helps identify issues earlier, plan treatments more effectively, and improve long-term outcomes for patients. To learn more about how this advanced technology can help improve your dental experience, contact our Wilmington, NC office.
How Is 3D Oral Imaging Performed?
3D oral imaging is performed using a cone beam scanner that takes a quick, virtually painless scan while the patient is either standing or sitting comfortably. The machine rotates around the head in less than a minute, capturing detailed images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. The entire process is simple, noninvasive, and provides our team with highly accurate 3D images to guide diagnosis and treatment planning.

Cape Fear Endodontics Reviews
Very personable and thorough about the procedure I was having done. Made me very comfortable, and made it easy for me to relax without any medications. Better experience than I imagined.
Dr. Mihle is a very courteous and knowledgeable endodontist. His staff is also top notch. I would recommend his services to all patients needing his speciality.
Professional and transparent in all respects. My first root canal was easier than the anxiety I was feeling.
Everybody was professional and attentive to details. Dr Mihle walked me through the entire process and gave me my options. This was probably my third or fourth visit, and I've been satisfied each visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your office.
