Better images mean better decisions-plain and simple.
CBCT stands for cone beam computed tomography. Unlike a standard x-ray, it produces a 3D image of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures – all captured in just a few seconds.
It won’t be part of every visit. But in certain situations, that added level of clarity can change everything.
Your provider may recommend a CBCT scan if:
• You’re getting ready for dental implants or oral surgery
• There’s a suspected issue beneath the surface – such as an infection or fracture
• You’re being evaluated for orthodontic treatment or airway concerns
• TMJ, sinus, or nerve-related problems need to be investigated
• Precise planning is required to reduce the risk of complications
It’s fast. It’s safe. And it helps your provider treat the full picture – not just what the eye can see.
No long wait times. No discomfort. Just answers.
There’s no special preparation needed before a CBCT scan. You’ll be guided into the correct position – either seated or standing – and asked to remain still during a brief rotation. The actual scan takes only seconds.
Here’s what the experience typically looks like:
• A brief discussion about the reason for your scan
• Removal of jewelry, eyewear, or anything that may interfere
• Comfortable positioning of your head within the scanner
• A full rotation to capture detailed 3D images
• No discomfort, and no enclosed space – the unit is open and easy to stand in
• Images are ready immediately for review and treatment planning
You’ll be able to view your scan alongside your provider – so you can see what’s happening and understand why it matters for your care.
