Planmeca ProMax 3D imaging provides a high-resolution, three-dimensional view of the maxillofacial structures, including bone density, nerve pathways, and sinus cavities. This Cone Beam CT (CBCT) technology enables precise virtual planning of dental implants before any surgical intervention. Patients in Mandarin benefit from shorter procedure times and significantly more predictable surgical outcomes.

Traditional 2D X-rays often fail to reveal the thickness of the jawbone or the exact proximity of vital nerves. Mandarin Dentistry utilizes the Planmeca ProMax 3D system on San Jose Boulevard to eliminate this clinical guesswork. The scanner captures a comprehensive volume of data in seconds, which Dr. Megan Moshea uses to identify the optimal site for implant placement. This ensures the titanium post integrates with the densest bone available for maximum stability.

The diagnostic accuracy of the Planmeca system also enhances patient safety. By mapping the exact location of the mandibular nerve and the sinus floor, the clinical team avoids complications that could lead to post-operative numbness or infection. This technology is essential for patients undergoing complex procedures like “All-on-4” restorations or bone grafting.

Because the system features Ultra Low Dose protocols, patients receive these detailed images with minimal radiation exposure compared to traditional medical CT scans. The digital files also enable the fabrication of custom surgical guides that direct the surgeon’s instruments with sub-millimeter precision during the procedure.

Mandarin Dentistry invests in 3D innovation to provide a higher standard of care for our Jacksonville community. We ensure every surgical plan is backed by the most accurate diagnostic data available.
