Cone Beam Scanning
See More With Advanced 3D Imaging
A More Complete View of Your Oral Anatomy
More Information for More Informed Treatment Planning
Detailed 3D View
CBCT provides a three-dimensional view of oral structures that cannot be seen as clearly in a standard two-dimensional image.
Precise Planning
Detailed imaging can help our surgeons evaluate anatomy and plan procedures more carefully.
Patient-Specific Information
Every scan provides information about your individual anatomy that can be incorporated into your treatment plan.
What to Expect During a Cone Beam Scan
01
Positioning
You'll be positioned carefully in the scanning unit.
02
3D Image Capture
The scanner rotates around your head and captures detailed images of your oral and facial structures.
03
Digital Reconstruction
The images are combined to create a three-dimensional representation of the area being evaluated.
04
Treatment Planning
Your oral surgeon reviews the images and uses the information to help plan your care.
When a More Detailed View Is Needed
Cone beam scanning may be recommended when your surgeon needs more detailed information about your anatomy.
It can be especially useful for:
- Dental implant planning
- Evaluating impacted teeth
- Assessing jawbone structure
- Complex oral surgery
- Evaluating anatomical structures before treatment

Frequently Asked Questions About
Cone Beam Scanning
What is a cone beam scan?
CBCT is an advanced imaging technology that creates three-dimensional images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures.
Is a cone beam scan painful?
No. The scan is non-invasive and does not involve discomfort.
How long does a CBCT scan take?
The actual scan is generally completed quickly. Your team will guide you through positioning and the imaging process.
Why would I need a CBCT instead of a regular X-ray?
A CBCT provides three-dimensional information that can be valuable when detailed evaluation of bone, teeth, nerves, or other structures is needed.
Is CBCT used for dental implants?
Yes. Three-dimensional imaging can be an important part of dental implant treatment planning.
