DDI is North America's most advanced imaging center for the face, teeth and jaws. DDI utilizes high-tech equipment, which permits the lowest possible radiation dose, while generating clear, very detailed images for Portalupi Orthodontics.
DDI services include Cone Beam Volume Scan, Panoramic projection X-rays, Tomography, Digital Photography, and other standard medical, dental and orthodontic radiographic services.
The Cone Beam Volume Scan is innovative equipment that provides CT-scan quality images. A Cone Beam Volume Scan emits less radiation than one panoramic X-ray and provides 3-D visualization of the whole head! The most comprehensive series of X-rays available results in a fairly insignificant amount of radiation exposure.
X-rays and photos are a significant part of treatment. These records help Dr. Portalupi visualize parts of your anatomy that are not visible with the naked eye. The X-rays show the bones of the jaw and face, the roots of the teeth, and many other hard tissue structures of the head and neck. This exciting technology also allows us to see anomalies as never before.
Utilizing DDI Dr. Portalupi can provide the exact procedures needed at a much lower cost. The fact that you were referred to DDI shows the high regard Dr. Portalupi has for your health care and finances.
Will DDI bill my insurance?
DDI asks that your Cone Beam Volume Scan be paid for in full when they are taken. Since DDI is not a network provider, insurance companies do not reimburse them for services. DDI will submit a claim to your insurance carrier. Your insurance carrier will reimburse you directly for any services that they are willing to cover. Please contact your insurance carrier for coverage information.
