What is Cone Beam 3D Imaging?

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized dental imaging technology that produces 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional two-dimensional X-rays, cone beam imaging provides a complete, detailed view, allowing us to assess complex dental issues with exceptional clarity.

Our dentists use CBCT scans to assist in:

  • =Diagnosing dental problems not visible on regular X-rays
  • =Planning precise placement for dental implants
  • =Evaluating jawbone structure and density
  • =Assessing TMJ disorders
  • =Preparing for oral surgery or extractions
  • =Detecting cysts, tumors, and sinus issues
