ATLANTA, USA: The benefits of a 3-D cone-beam dental digital imaging unit are many—a more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for a more predictable outcome, greater treatment acceptance with increased office efficiency and significantly less radiation when compared to a medical CT scan—yet there are a couple big drawbacks: Full field-of-view units are not always affordable for all dentists, and many offices will not leverage the full power of cone-beam technology on their own.
That’s what Lisa Dunn, owner of 3D Mobile Imaging and a NewTom VG, was thinking when, a year and half ago, she had an idea. What if you could bring a cone beam to an office and allow the dentist to take advantage of the technology without the expense of ownership and, with it, bring a higher level of service and convenience that hospitals or brick-and-mortar imaging centers cannot offer?
Enter 3D Mobile Imaging. This new service, for dentists throughout Georgia and South Carolina, brings AFP Imaging’s mobile NewTom VGi Flex directly to dental practices on demand.
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 only CBCT warrantied for use in a mobile environment and specifically designed to offer state-of-the-art cone beam 3-D scans to general dentists, periodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, endodontists and orthodontists in the convenience of their own practices.
Dentists who have a patient they want to get a 3-D scan for simply call 3D Mobile Imaging and schedule an appointment. The mobile van then shows up outside their practice at the appropriate time, offering patients a convenient way to get the scans they need and a comfortable way to do it.
Dentists who are already using the 3D Mobile Imaging service are quite pleased with what it enables them to do.
“All of our specialists and general practitioners rely on the NewTom that 3D Mobile Imaging drives up to our multiple practice locations,” said Dr Arun Nayyar, DMD, a 3D Mobile Imaging customer. “Our patients appreciate the convenience, the prompt professional service and the expediency with which the reports are compiled and ready for our review. We have come to rely on the highest quality images that 3D Mobile Imaging’s NewTom VG provides. The information is a great adjunct to our diagnostic decision making.”
Those who attended the recent Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting in Atlanta were able to stop by and see the mobile unit, which was parked on the exhibit hall floor.
