What is a Dental MRI?
Dental MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive imaging technique that uses a magnetic field, radio waves, and computer processing to generate exceptionally detailed images of soft tissues within the head and neck region.
Unlike traditional dental imaging methods, Dental MRI does not use ionising radiation, making it a safe option for evaluating complex structures such as the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), salivary glands, nerves, and soft tissue lesions.
Why Choose Dental MRI?
Dental MRI offers unique benefits over conventional imaging methods:
- Exceptional Soft Tissue Detail
Ideal for assessing TMJ disorders, nerve impingements, tumours, and salivary gland issues. - Radiation-Free
Unlike CT or X-ray, MRI uses no ionising radiation – safer for repeat imaging and younger patients. - Non-Invasive & Painless
Comfortable scanning experience without contrast injections in most cases. - Comprehensive Diagnostics
Often reveals more information than standard radiographs or even CBCT scans in certain cases.
