A system and method for visualizing a dental image that includes a plurality of high resolution dental data, a plurality of tooth objects, at least one threshold and a processing module is described. The plurality of high resolution dental data that is generated using computed tomography. The plurality of tooth objects selected for each tooth from the dental data includes at least one of an enamel object, a dentin object, a pulp object, a root object, and a nerve object. The at least one threshold is used to detect at least one problem tooth. The processing module detects at least one problem tooth. Additionally, the processing module mathematically models the growth of at least one tooth object, the decay for at least one tooth object, or the combination thereof. Furthermore, the processing module determines the effect the problem tooth has on at least one other tooth object.
