Cone Beam Imaging in Dentistry
Gentle technology with a whole-body view.
More clarity. Less radiation. True peace of mind.
We offer a complimentary 2 hour consultation if you’re curious whether this is right for you.
When it comes to your health, we believe in seeing the full picture—safely and clearly. That’s why we use 3D Cone Beam Imaging (CBCT) at our practice. In just seconds, this low-radiation scan gives us a detailed look at your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and surrounding structures—helping us understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Whether you’re dealing with lingering pain, exploring dental implants, or just want clarity about your oral health, CBCT allows us to look deeper and guide your care with more precision and less guesswork.
Common Questions About Cone Beam Imaging
CBCT helps us detect things that traditional X-rays can miss—like infections around old root canals, changes in the jawbone, airway and sinus issues, or signs of inflammation that could be affecting your whole system. It’s one of the ways we care for the whole person, not just the tooth.
Yes. CBCT scans are non-invasive, comfortable, and quick (usually under a minute). They use a fraction of the radiation compared to traditional medical CT scans—and we only recommend them when we believe the benefits outweigh any risk.
It depends on your individual situation. We might suggest one if:
- You’re considering dental implants
- You have persistent pain that hasn’t been diagnosed
- You’re looking for a second opinion
- You’ve had past dental work that’s still causing symptoms
Our team will always walk you through the reasons and answer any questions.
