Cone Beam 3D Imaging
A three dimensional view for implants and extractions.
What it is
Imaging is on site, so the scan and the answer happen in the same visit rather than the same month.
At Post Family Dentistry, we have cone beam imaging on site, so a three dimensional scan happens in the same visit instead of becoming another trip. This advanced technology captures detailed 3D images of teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan, enabling Dr. Xochitl Anderton to provide more accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
What it does for you
Enhanced Accuracy
Provides detailed images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Comprehensive View
Offers a complete picture of dental structures including bones and nerves.
Reduced Radiation
Delivers lower radiation doses compared to traditional CT scans.
Quick & Painless
The scan is quick and non-invasive with immediate results.
Comfortable Positioning
You are seated comfortably while the cone beam machine rotates around your head.
Quick Scan
The scan takes less than a minute to complete.
What makes cone beam imaging different from regular X-rays?
Cone beam imaging provides three-dimensional images with more detail than traditional 2D X-rays, allowing better evaluation of complex oral conditions.
Is cone beam imaging safe?
Yes, it uses lower levels of radiation compared to conventional CT scans while delivering high-quality diagnostic images.
Who can benefit from cone beam imaging?
Patients undergoing implant placement, orthodontic assessments, TMJ analysis, or any procedure requiring detailed anatomical information.
How long does the procedure take?
The scanning process takes less than one minute.
Can children undergo cone beam imaging?
Yes, when necessary clinical information cannot be obtained by other means, due to its low radiation exposure.
