What Is a CBCT Scan?
A Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan is a specialized dental imaging technology that captures three-dimensional images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT scans provide highly detailed, 360-degree visuals, offering comprehensive insights into your oral health.

How a CBCT Scan Can Help You
Precise Implant Planning
If you’re considering dental implants, a CBCT scan is essential. It provides detailed information about your jawbone density, nerve locations, and surrounding structures, ensuring the implants are placed safely and securely.
Diagnosing TMJ Disorders
Experiencing jaw pain or stiffness? A CBCT scan offers detailed views of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), helping to diagnose disorders and plan effective treatments.
Orthodontic Assessment
For those embarking on orthodontic care, a CBCT scan helps orthodontists evaluate tooth alignment, jaw positioning, and potential complications, enabling tailored treatment plans.
Detecting Hidden Issues
CBCT scans can reveal dental abscesses, bone infections, impacted teeth, and even sinus-related dental problems, ensuring no issue goes unnoticed.
