3D dental imaging, also known as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), captures three-dimensional images of teeth, jaw, and facial structures. This advanced technology provides detailed volumetric data that allows for precise diagnostic assessment and surgical planning. 3D imaging is particularly valuable for complex cases involving implant placement, orthodontics, oral surgery, and temporomandibular joint assessment.
Advanced 3D imaging enables accurate assessment of bone density, implant site evaluation, and detailed surgical planning for complex procedures. 3D imaging reduces the need for multiple scans, provides superior visualization of anatomical structures, and improves clinical decision-making. This technology is essential for specialized treatments and ensures optimal outcomes in advanced dental procedures.
Please note: A written interpretation of an image, upon the client's request, is charged separately.

FAQs
Everything you need to know about dental diagnostic imaging
2D imaging provides flat X-ray images of teeth and jaw, while 3D imaging (CBCT) creates detailed three-dimensional images for complex cases requiring precise surgical planning.
Dental imaging uses minimal radiation. 2D X-rays use very low doses, and modern 3D imaging (CBCT) has been optimized to reduce radiation while maintaining image quality.
We recommend routine 2D imaging annually or as needed, while 3D imaging is typically recommended for specific diagnostic or surgical planning purposes when clinically indicated.
Dental X-rays are considered safe. The radiation exposure is minimal and well below harmful levels. We use modern equipment and protective measures to further minimize exposure.
Yes, we welcome previous imaging records. Bringing your prior X-rays helps us reduce unnecessary repeat imaging and allows for better comparison and continuity of care.
