Millimeter-Precise Planning
Implant position, bone volume, and nerve pathways are made exactly visible before the procedure.
Digital 3D Diagnostics (DVT)
Precise planning begins with an exact image: with digital volume tomography, we display bony structures three-dimensionally the foundation for safe surgical planning.

Reliable Planning Through Precise Imaging
A surgical procedure in the field of oral, maxillofacial, and facial surgery should always be based on comprehensive, detailed preoperative diagnostics. Nerves and other sensitive anatomical structures in the head and neck area lie particularly close together there.
Before every surgical procedure, all conceivable risks are carefully considered in order to avoid them from the outset wherever possible.
In addition to conventional two-dimensional X-rays (orthopantomogram), modern radiology today offers the possibility of computer-assisted 3D diagnostics and planning using digital volume tomography (DVT).
With razor-sharp 3D views, the bony structures of the upper and lower jaw, selected individual segments, or complex anatomical relationships can be displayed in detail for treatment planning that is precisely tailored to you.
Benefits of 3D Diagnostics
Why Digital Volume Tomography?
Three reasons why we rely on three-dimensional imaging for more complex procedures.
Detect Risks Early
Sensitive structures such as nerves and the maxillary sinus are reliably displayed and taken into account during planning.
Directly Discussable
The 3D images can be shown directly on screen and reviewed together with you.
From the Image to the Treatment Decision
Placing dental implants or a surgical procedure in the jaw area requires careful planning. In addition to classic two-dimensional X-rays, we use computer-assisted 3D planning to predict the procedure as precisely as possible in advance.
This allows us to assess, even before treatment, which approach is gentlest for your individual situation for example, whether bone augmentation is necessary or an implant can be placed directly.
Key Points at a Glance
- Digital volume tomography (DVT) provides three-dimensional X-ray images of the jaw and facial skull.
- This allows implant position, bone volume, and nerve pathways to be planned with millimeter precision.
- Compared to classic 2D X-rays, the risk of complications in more complex procedures is reduced.
- The images are discussed directly with you on screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a digital volume tomography (DVT) show?
A DVT provides three-dimensional images of the bony facial skull and shows the upper and lower jaw as well as individual segments in high detail.
Does a DVT scan involve higher radiation exposure than a normal X-ray?
The radiation dose is higher than that of a classic panoramic X-ray, but it is used specifically and only when medically necessary, for example before more complex implantations or operations.
When is 3D diagnostics recommended before a procedure?
Particularly for implantations near nerves or the maxillary sinus, as well as for larger surgical procedures, 3D imaging helps to detect risks early.
How long does a DVT scan take?
The actual scan takes only a few seconds, is pain-free for you, and is performed directly at our practice.
