Cone Beam Computed Tomography

We are thrilled to offer the most advanced imaging technology in dentistry: cone beam CT scanning, or 3D imaging. This technology provides us with an incredible range of views of your teeth, face, and neck in a single scan. It allows us to obtain high-resolution, detailed information to accurately diagnose and plan your treatment needs. Using this method, we can evaluate your teeth and facial structures from multiple angles, in 3D and in color! Regular X-rays, in comparison, only yield a single flat image with limited data.

The cone beam CT imaging system is a digital X-ray scanner that rotates around your head while you stand or sit in a chair. The procedure is quick, easy, and totally painless. The scans produced are as accurate as traditional CT (CAT) scans, but with significantly less radiation. Its applications in dentistry are virtually endless; we use these scans to provide the best treatment for dental implants and root canals, and to diagnose dental and facial pain, among other uses.

Thanks to 3D imaging, we can plan and customize your care like never before. With this technology, you can rest assured you will receive the best possible treatment.
