In the world of modern dentistry, digital technology continues to redefine the way professionals capture and analyze oral data. As practitioners seek accuracy, speed, and patient comfort, understanding the three types of intraoral imaging becomes increasingly important. At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we are dedicated to creating tools that support this transformation, and our intraoral scanner solutions embody this evolution in every detail.

The Three Main Types of Intraoral Imaging
Dentists today rely on three primary types of intraoral imaging: photographic, radiographic, and digital scanning. Each serves a specific purpose in diagnosis and treatment planning. Traditional photographic imaging captures visual details of the mouth’s surface, helping document cases and track progress. Radiographic imaging, including X-rays, provides valuable internal insights, allowing professionals to view structures beneath the gum line. The third and most advanced type—digital scanning—creates precise 3D models of teeth and soft tissues, offering a seamless, radiation-free, and patient-friendly alternative.
As SHINING 3D DENTAL, we focus on advancing this third category through innovative scanning technology. Our intraoral scanner lineup simplifies the clinical workflow by reducing discomfort, eliminating manual impressions, and providing accurate, real-time data for restorations and orthodontic planning.
