Advanced 3D Dental Imaging
Conventional X-rays produce flat, 2D images of small sections, offering a limited perspective. In contrast, 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) delivers a comprehensive, three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and bone, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment planning from every angle.
What is 3D CT Imaging?
Traditional dental X-rays produce flat, two-dimensional images of small areas, offering a limited perspective of your mouth. In contrast, 3D CT imaging—also called Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)—delivers a detailed, three-dimensional view of your entire oral and facial structure.
Think of it like comparing a single photo of one side of a tooth to a fully rotatable 3D model that shows every angle. This technology lets us examine not just individual teeth, but the complete anatomy of your smile, jaw, sinuses, and bone. With 3D CT imaging, we can diagnose more accurately, plan treatments with greater precision, and provide care tailored specifically to you.
Benefits of 3D CBCT Scans
CBCT scans offer a complete, detailed view that supports safer, more precise, and highly effective dental care. They are especially valuable for:
- Diagnosing and planning treatment for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues
- Designing custom surgical guides for accurate dental implant placement
- Planning oral surgeries, including tooth extractions
- Assessing existing root canal treatments and detecting hidden infections
- Evaluating airway volume and identifying potential sleep apnea obstructions
- Detecting infections or bone defects at previous extraction sites
How 3D CT Scanning Enhances Dental Care
CBCT imaging is a cutting-edge tool that delivers precision, safety, and clarity, allowing every treatment to be carefully planned and customized to your individual needs.
Visual clarity
Patients can view detailed 3D images of their teeth and jaw on chairside monitors, making it easier to understand problem areas and treatment options.
Enhanced Communication
Dentists can zoom in, highlight concerns, and clearly explain conditions with confidence.
Streamlined Coordination
Digital files can be quickly shared with labs, insurance providers, or specialists, accelerating approvals and treatments.
Improved Long-term Care
Scans are stored digitally, enabling easy comparisons over time to monitor progress, evaluate healing, and refine treatment plans.
