What is Galileos 3D X-Ray Imaging?
Galileos 3D imaging uses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to capture a three-dimensional, high-resolution scan of the mouth and the surrounding structures. Unlike traditional 2D dental X-rays, Galileos images are highly informative because they show the interrelationships among teeth, bones, nerves, and soft tissues.
Such imagery enables dentists to make even more accurate diagnoses and formulate highly effective treatment plans.
How Galileos 3D Imaging Improves Dental Care
- Dental Implants: Gives a close-up view of the density and structure of the bone within which the implant will be placed.
- Orthodontics: Enables better analysis of how well the jaws align and where the teeth fall.
- Endodontics: Definition for root canal anatomy and possible infections.
- Oral Surgery: For extraction, other purposes with more accurate planning.
- TMJ Evaluation: Studies the jaw joints and the surrounding structures to establish a TMJ disorder.
Benefits of Galileos 3D X-Ray Imaging
- Quick and Painless Scanning: Takes detailed pictures in only 10 seconds.
- Minimal Radiation: This method helps reduce the radiation exposure from imaging as compared to ordinary CT scans.
- Accurate Diagnosis: The technology is able to detect dental conditions invisible to the conventional X-rays.
- Improved Treatment Planning: Dentists can visualize the precise location of the teeth, nerves, and other structures to effect accurate treatment.
- Digital Storage and Easy Sharing: The images can be stored digitally for easy reference in the future and can also be shared with other healthcare providers with ease.
What to Expect During a Galileos 3D Imaging Scan
1: Quick and Comfortable Procedure
Scanning usually takes about 10 seconds, where the imaging machine rotates around the patient's head to obtain angle views of the maxillofacial region.
2: Detailed 3D Image Generation
These images pertain to a 3D view of teeth, jawbone, and neighboring tissues, allowing a thorough evaluation.
3: Evaluation and Diagnosis
After evaluating the images, the dentist will discuss with the patient any findings and possible treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can 3D imaging be useful for me?
3D images give an accurate view of your teeth and jaw, which helps in effective diagnosis and treatment planning. Especially required during dental implants, orthodontics, and other complex procedures.
What can I expect during a 3D imaging scan?
It's a very quick scan that lasts for 10 seconds and is painless. The machine rotates around your head to catch closely detailed images, which are viewed in 3d analysis later.
Is 3D Imaging Safe?
Yes, 3D imaging is very safe. It has much lower radiation levels than conventional CT scans, making it safer for taking images of your teeth in great detail.
Will I need extra 3D imaging in future?
Depending on your treatment plan, your dentist may ask for additional images in order to see what has changed since the last scan or to monitor progress in treatment.
