Why patients bring their dental films here
Someone hands you a treatment plan quoting several thousand dollars for an implant and a bone graft, and the only explanation you got was a printout with a few circled teeth. Before agreeing to that spend, most people want a plain answer to one question: does the imaging actually support what was proposed, or is there a cheaper, less invasive path the plan skipped over.
Others walk out of a CBCT appointment with a disc in hand and viewer software that only installs on Windows, no Mac version, no way to even open the scan they paid for. This site opens that same volume in the browser on any device, no install, so you can look at your own jaw before your next appointment instead of taking someone else's word for what the disc contains.
And sometimes it's simpler than that: a panoramic X-ray with a dark shadow at the tip of a root, a dentist who mentioned it in passing, and no real explanation of what that shadow means or how urgent it is. People want an independent read before they consent to an extraction, not after.
What the dental analysis covers
The panel reads dental CBCT volumes, panoramic radiographs, periapical and bitewing X-rays, and medical CT of the jaws. On a periapical film it looks for a radiolucency at the root tip that can signal apical periodontitis, and on bitewings it checks for caries and recurrent decay creeping in under an old filling or crown margin. On CBCT and panoramic images it tracks alveolar bone levels for periodontal bone loss, measures bone height and width at a proposed implant site, and follows the maxillary sinus floor for membrane thickening that can complicate a sinus lift.
CBCT is also where impacted third molars get mapped against the inferior alveolar nerve canal before an extraction, where retained root tips and jaw cysts or other lesions show up, and where an existing root canal filling can be checked for length, density, and a missed canal. The panel notes the temporomandibular joint condyles when they are in the field of view, and flags existing crowns, bridges, and implant fixtures so the report matches what is actually in your mouth. Every finding is tied to a tooth by its position — for example, an upper right first molar or a lower left second premolar — and the report spells out what the wording on your chart or letter means and what a dentist typically does next.
Who this is for
People who were just quoted for implants or bone grafting and want to see the bone levels themselves. Patients told a tooth has to come out and want to understand why before booking the extraction. Anyone weighing a root canal against pulling the tooth and replacing it with an implant. Parents and adults reviewing an orthodontic or wisdom tooth assessment before treatment starts. And anyone who simply wants an independent second opinion before committing to an expensive dental plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI read my dental CBCT scan?
Yes. Upload your dental CBCT volume and the panel reviews rendered slices for root position, bone levels, sinus proximity, and nerve canal relationships, then writes up the findings tooth by tooth in plain language.
What is the dark spot at the root of my tooth on the X-ray?
A dark, rounded area at the tip of a root on a periapical or panoramic film is often a periapical radiolucency, commonly linked to apical periodontitis from an infected or dying nerve. The report explains the likely cause and typical next step, such as a root canal or referral to an endodontist.
Is there enough bone for an implant?
On a dental CBCT the panel measures available bone height and width at the site you flag and checks its distance from the maxillary sinus floor or the inferior alveolar nerve canal, so you can see whether a graft is likely needed before your surgical consult.
Can it read a panoramic X-ray as well as a CBCT?
Yes. Panoramic radiographs, periapical films, and bitewing X-rays are all supported. CBCT adds cross-sectional detail on bone width and nerve position that a flat panoramic image cannot show.
Will it tell me whether the tooth can be saved?
The report describes what the imaging shows — root canal filling quality, missed canals, bone support around the tooth, caries depth — so you and your dentist or endodontist can weigh root canal treatment against extraction with more information. It does not replace that clinical decision.
Does my dental scan get uploaded anywhere?
Your raw CBCT files, DICOM folders, and X-ray images are parsed and rendered entirely in your browser. Only the rendered views you choose to analyze are sent for AI review, and only when you request it.
Dental findings we explain
Not a substitute for your dentist
This is not a diagnosis, and it does not replace a dentist, endodontist, periodontist, oral surgeon, or dental radiologist. If you have facial swelling spreading toward the eye or down the neck, difficulty swallowing or breathing, a fever with a swollen jaw, or bleeding after an extraction that will not stop, that is a dental or medical emergency — seek care immediately rather than waiting on an AI explanation. Raw scan files stay on your device; only rendered images you choose to send are used for analysis.
