A Full Mouth Health Scan is a quick, comfortable 3D digital scan of your entire mouth, with no radiation and no messy impressions. At Dentistry at Millennium Park, we scan every patient yearly to track changes and monitor your oral health over time, and we use the same technology to plan treatments like crowns and aligners, right here in Chicago's Loop.
A full mouth health scan uses a small handheld wand to capture a detailed, three-dimensional digital image of your teeth, gums, and bite. In just a few minutes, we create an accurate 3D model of your whole mouth, no radiation and none of the goopy putty impressions of the past.
What makes it powerful is that we do it every year. By comparing your scans over time, we can spot subtle changes, like tooth wear, gum recession, or shifting teeth, often well before they would be noticeable otherwise. It turns your routine care into a clear, visual record of your oral health.
The same scanning technology also lets us design treatments precisely when you need them, from crowns to clear aligners, all without the discomfort of traditional molds.
A single snapshot is helpful, but a series of them is far more powerful. Scanning your mouth each year lets us:
Note: Think of it like a yearly photo for your smile. Comparing this year to last helps us protect your oral health before small changes become bigger problems.
A full mouth health scan gives us a clear, detailed view that helps reveal:
Tooth wear from grinding or clenching
Changes in your gumline or signs of recession
Teeth that are shifting or crowding over time
The condition of fillings, crowns, and other dental work
Bite and alignment changes
Areas worth watching closely at future visits
Note: Because it's so detailed, the scan is also what we use to plan and create treatments like crowns and clear aligners, a perfect, comfortable fit — no putty required.
Our practice is on the 18th floor at 8 S Michigan Ave, steps from Millennium Park and the heart of the Loop, an easy, modern home for your routine care.
We care for patients and families from across downtown Chicago, including the Loop, River North, South Loop, and West Loop, with convenient access by CTA, Metra at Millennium Station, and nearby parking.

A full mouth health scan works alongside the rest of your care, not in place of it. The scan captures the surfaces of your teeth and gums in 3D and tracks changes over time, while digital X-rays show what's happening beneath the surface and within the bone, and our intraoral camera gives close-up views of specific spots. Together, they give us a complete, well-rounded picture of your oral health.
We use modern technology not for its own sake, but to make your care more comfortable, more precise, and more proactive, and we take the time to show you what we see so you're a true partner in your health.
As a proudly woman-owned, all-female practice in the heart of the Loop, led by a woman of color, we pair modern dentistry with genuine, personal care.

Meet Dr. RanganathanIt's a quick, comfortable 3D digital scan of your whole mouth. We take one each year to track changes and monitor your oral health over time, and we use the same scan to plan treatments like crowns and aligners.
Comparing your scans year over year lets us spot subtle changes, like tooth wear, gum recession, or shifting teeth, early, so we can address small issues before they become bigger ones.
No. A full mouth health scan is an optical digital scan, so it's completely radiation-free and very comfortable.
No, they complement each other. The scan captures the surfaces of your teeth and gums in 3D, while X-rays reveal what's happening beneath the surface and within the bone.
Not at all. There's no goopy material and nothing to bite down on, just a small wand that we gently move around your mouth for a few minutes.
