Craniofacial Imaging Dental

Craniofacial Imaging Dental is a specialized imaging clinic located in Suite C-61 of the Southdale Medical Center at 6545 France Ave S, Edina, MN 55435. Their primary focus is on providing comprehensive diagnostic imaging services for the oral and maxillofacial region. They utilize state-of-the-art technology, including digital 2D imaging and 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) (specifically Sirona CBCT), which allows for highly detailed visualization of craniofacial structures. The clinic offers a range of imaging services essential for various dental and medical specialties. These include: Cone Beam 3D Scans (CBCT): Used for in-depth analysis of areas such as sinuses, implants, supernumerary teeth, cysts, and for endodontic surveys. CBCT is particularly valuable for precise treatment planning in implant dentistry, maxillofacial trauma, orthodontics, orthognathic procedures, TMJ analysis, and sinus pathology. 2D Imaging: This includes traditional diagnostic records like Panorex (panoramic X-rays), Lateral Head Films with tracings (cephalometric films), PA Head Films with tracings, and various intraoral radiographs (periapicals, bitewings, occlusal). They also provide photographs as part of comprehensive diagnostic records. 3D Printed Models: From .stl files, they can create 3D printed models, which are useful for study models or for retainer fabrication. A key service offered by Craniofacial Imaging Dental is the availability of interpretation by a board-certified Oral & Maxillofacial Radiologist for their imaging studies. This provides dental and medical professionals with expert diagnostic reports. The clinic prides itself on quick turnaround times for imaging and reporting, with images available on CD or USB memory stick within 24 hours. They emphasize accommodating specific instructions for scan protocols, such as imaging with a template. Located conveniently in the Southdale Medical Center, near Crosstown Highway 62 and between Fairview Southdale Hospital and Southdale Shopping Center, the clinic is easily accessible with free parking available. Their operations cater primarily to referrals from other dental and medical professionals who require advanced imaging for their patients. The clinic plays a crucial role in supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for complex craniofacial and dental conditions.
