How Cone Beam CT Scanning Transforms Modern Dental Care in Rochester

What Is Cone Beam CT Scanning?

Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is a specialized 3D imaging system that provides a detailed view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures. Unlike standard 2D X-rays, CBCT produces a full 360-degree image, allowing us to evaluate your dental health from every angle.

This advanced imaging plays a key role in several treatments, including:

• Dental implants — ensuring precise placement and long-term stability
  
• Oral surgery — guiding surgical extractions and bone grafting
  
• Root canal therapy — detecting infection or complex root structures
  
• Wisdom teeth removal — identifying impaction and nerve position
  

Why This Technology Matters

CBCT gives our team an unprecedented level of detail, which means better care and outcomes for our patients. With 3D imaging, we can:

• Plan implants and surgeries with millimeter accuracy
  
• Reduce guesswork and minimize treatment time
  
• Detect small issues before they become larger problems
  
• Create personalized treatment plans for optimal results
  

It’s part of our ongoing commitment to offering advanced, comfortable care that improves both health and confidence.
