Understanding your dental condition is easier when you can see what your dentist is explaining. Dental photographs, X-rays, and 3D scans provide different views of your teeth and supporting structures, helping guide assessment and treatment planning.
At Viet Han Dental Clinic in Nha Trang, imaging is selected according to your examination findings and individual treatment needs.

What Can Different Dental Images Show?
Dental Photographs
Photographs record the visible appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. They help your dentist explain concerns, discuss aesthetic goals, and compare changes during treatment.
Dental X-Rays
X-rays help assess areas that cannot be fully seen during a visual examination, including tooth roots and supporting bone. Your dentist recommends the appropriate imaging when additional information is needed.
3D Intraoral Scans
An intraoral scan creates a digital model of your teeth and bite. This can support planning for orthodontic treatment and restorations, as well as communication with the dental laboratory.
An intraoral scan differs from a 3D X-ray: it records surface detail rather than internal tooth and bone structures.
How Does Imaging Support Your Care?
Used alongside a clinical examination, dental imaging helps your dentist:
- Explain findings in a way you can understand.
- Assess suitable treatment options.
- Record your condition before treatment.
- Compare changes and monitor progress.
- Share relevant information with the professionals involved in your care.
Not every patient needs every type of imaging. Your dentist will determine what is appropriate for your situation.
Can Smartphone Photos Replace a Dental Examination?
Photos may help you show a visible concern, but they cannot reliably reveal every dental problem or confirm your overall oral health. A clinical examination—and additional tests when needed—remains essential for diagnosis.
