CHICAGO, IL, USA: Call it cone beam on wheels. AFP Imaging and Deborah Vessell, owner of 3D Mobile imaging, have launched a new service for dentists throughout North Central Illinois and Eastern Iowa: a mobile NewTom VGi 3D Cone Beam CT scanner that Vessell brings directly to dental practices. It is one of an ever growing fleet of independently owned mobile Cone Beam CT units in operation across the country utilizing the NewTom VGi Cone Beam CT.

The benefits of cone beam volumetric imaging (CVBI) to both the doctor and the patient are well known. But many dentists have not had the opportunity to use cone beam scanning, because of the high cost of the equipment, or because of the inconvenience of sending their patients to a third party location.

Until now.

This new mobile imaging center was created to offer state-of-the-art Cone Beam 3D scans to general dentists, periodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, endodontists and orthodontists — in the convenience of their own practices.

According to Vessell, the goal of 3D Mobile Imaging is to be “Your diagnostic partner,” by providing a complete package of diagnostic tools.

Dentists who are already using the 3D Mobile Imaging service are quite pleased with what it enables them to do.

“I always try to offer and deliver the best care possible for my patients, utilizing the latest technology available,” said David Jarrin, DDS. “Having this technology at my office has changed the way I treatment plan and place implants.”

“I have been surgically placing and restoring implants for 10 years and won’t do a case today without having the patient scan as part of my full workup,” Dr Jarrin said. “I encourage all dentists who are now placing implants, or those who have just started or want to start placing implants, to embrace this wonderful technology.”
