Cone Beam CT Scanning

Cone beam CT scanning helps our dental specialists to quickly make your dental diagnosis and create treatment plans. This technology provides accurate, detailed, 3 dimensional images of each patient’s mouth, highlighting any areas that might cause problems in the future. Every scan is sent to a radiology company and read by a radiologist for a detailed analysis. To learn more about how our use of cone beam CT scanning helps our patients, we invite you to schedule an appointment with Empire Dental Specialty Group.

At our office, we are committed to utilizing advanced dental technology to always provide you with the highest level of dental care. We are proud to utilize cone beam 3D imaging technology at our dental practice. Cone beam 3D technology is an imaging system that provides our dentist and team with a three-dimensional image reconstruction of your teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose, and throat. Our dentist may use dental cone beam 3D imaging to:

• Plan dental implant placement
• Evaluate the jaws and face
• View the head and neck as a comprehensive whole
• Diagnose tooth decay (cavities) and other dental problems
• Detect endodontic problems and plan root canal therapy
• Analyze dental and facial trauma
• Plan and evaluate the progress of orthodontic treatment
• Visualize abnormal teeth
• Assess a TMJ disorder

Cone beam 3D imaging is effective for diagnosing and evaluating dental conditions, as well as planning treatments. One of the advantages of 3D cone beam technology is that it provides our dentist and team with a view of your mouth and supporting structures that is more comprehensive than that provided by digital X-rays.
