3D CONE BEAM IMAGING

Dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialized type of x-ray equipment utilized to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) image of the oral cavity. This high quality image will provide a full view of your teeth, upper and lower jawbone anatomy, maxillary sinus cavity, nerve pathways, and identification of possible pathology.

• In-depth planning of nerve pathways and sinus anatomy for extractions and implants.
• Assessment of possible root fractures.
• Identification of tooth infection.
• Diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease.
• Orthodontic treatment planning for canine exposures or primary tooth extractions.
• Diagnosis and treatment of impacted teeth.
• Identification of the presence of pathological conditions.
• Trauma evaluation.

If your dental provider recommends a CBCT be taken, this scan will be a scheduled appointment prior to surgery.
