In this case, Sedona dentist Chris Marsh was able to diagnose this Cottonwood, AZ dental patient’s problem. Her dentist in Cottonwood was unable to tell her what exactly was happening to her front tooth. We are one of the few dental practices in the nation that provide 3D dental imaging to our patients and other dentists in Sedona, AZ. Our 3D dental imaging unit is a dental specific CT scanner resulting in lower radiation and high resolution for dental diagnostics.
This regular 2D dental x-ray as found in most dental offices shows a slight problem on this tooth, but not an exact diagnosis. We suspected a resorbed root, the patient was not exactly sure of what we were describing.
At My Family Dentist we upgrade our technology to provide you with the best possible dental care.

The CS 9000 helps Dr. Marsh efficiently diagnose and plan treatments, and offers a more precise dental image while keeping your exposure to radiation low. With the benefit of this innovative dental technology is that it’s software allows you to see the origin of your dental problem so that you can make an educated informed decision about your treatment options.
