Short Description

Software used to capture, view, enhance, and store dental X-rays and images for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Long Description

Dental imaging software refers to digital tools that allow dentists to capture, process, analyze, and store various dental images, such as X-rays, intraoral photos, and 3D scans. This software plays a key role in diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient communication.

Advanced features may include image enhancement, measurement tools, side-by-side comparisons, and integration with electronic health records (EHRs) or practice management systems. Some platforms also support 3D imaging like cone-beam CT scans for detailed views.

Dental imaging software improves accuracy, efficiency, and patient understanding. Many systems now include cloud storage and secure sharing options, allowing providers to collaborate and patients to access their own records.
