How CT Scanning Benefits You

Our dentist and team use cone beam 3D imaging to provide you with high-quality dental care. This state-of-the-art technology is safe, efficient and allows us to view three-dimensional images of your teeth, soft tissues, jaws, head, nose, ears, neck and throat more easily. We may use cone beam imaging to:


• Know where to place a dental implant
• Evaluate the position of the jaw
• Determine the need for orthodontic treatment
• Spot tooth decay, damage or other oral health conditions
• Check for any signs of facial trauma
• Examine the head and neck
• Assess a TMJ disorder
• Find out what teeth may need a root canal
• View the nasal cavity

With a cone beam, we can acquire more information about the current state of your oral health than with traditional X-rays through the ability to view your smile and surrounding structures from several angles. These are taken fairly quickly and are transferred over to our computer for us to view. After our team evaluates these images, we will provide you with an official diagnosis and plan out your treatment to fit your needs and desires.
