Cone beam 3D imaging, also referred to as CBCT scanning, is a type of X-ray machine that we use when regular X-rays will not suffice. Cone beam 3D imaging provides us with high-quality, detailed images of your teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose and throat. This way we get a detailed look at any issues that may be occurring.

This technology is very effective in diagnosing and identifying a wide range of oral health issues. There are many reasons we may use cone beam imaging. Some of them are:

• Planning implant procedures
• Evaluating the jaw
• Planning surgery for impacted teeth
• Identifying and treating tumors
• Planning root canal treatment
• Reviewing detailed images of the head and neck
• Diagnosing endodontic issues
• Planning orthodontic treatment
• Viewing detailed visuals of tooth damage and decay

Cone beam 3D imaging is crucial when it comes to diagnosing oral abnormalities and planning dental treatments. This is a fast and painless treatment that requires no recovery time. Having images this detailed allows our orthodontist and team to provide precise, high-quality care. If you have any questions about 3D imaging, call our office today or stop by anytime. We would love to get you on the schedule with our experienced orthodontist.
