3D CT Scanning (Cone Beam CT)

At Westfall Dental Studio, one of the most powerful tools we use is Cone Beam CT scanning (CBCT). This advanced 3D imaging technology goes far beyond traditional dental X-rays, giving us a detailed, 360-degree view of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures.

Why It Matters

Accurate imaging is essential for safe, effective treatment planning. CBCT allows us to:

  • Plan dental implants with precision — identifying the exact location, angle, and depth for long-term success
  • Evaluate bone quality and density before implant placement or oral surgery
  • Locate nerves and sinus cavities to avoid complications during treatment
  • Diagnose complex dental problems such as root fractures, cysts, or impacted teeth that aren’t visible on 2D X-rays
  • Assess jaw alignment and TMJ health, especially in patients with bite or joint issues

Patient Benefits

  • Safer procedures with fewer risks thanks to detailed planning
  • Minimally invasive treatment because we know exactly where to operate or place restorations
  • Faster, more predictable results with less guesswork during surgery or implant placement
  • Peace of mind — you can see your scans and better understand your treatment plan

Common Uses in Our Practice

Digital X-Rays (Including Panoramic X-Rays)

Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film while providing immediate results on-screen. We offer both standard and panoramic X-rays to:

  • Detect cavities and decay early
  • Monitor root and bone health
  • Evaluate wisdom teeth and jaw development
  • Aid in diagnosis for oral surgery and orthodontics

Intraoral Cameras

Our intraoral cameras let you see what we see. These small, handheld devices capture high-resolution images of your teeth and gums, helping us:

  • Detect small cracks, wear, or early cavities
  • Educate patients about oral health concerns
  • Track progress before and after treatment

This technology helps patients stay involved in their care and better understand treatment recommendations.

Digital Impressions (iTero Scanner)

Say goodbye to messy impression trays. With our iTero digital scanner, we can create precise 3D models of your teeth in minutes. Digital impressions are used for:

The process is quick, comfortable, and far more accurate than traditional molds.

Benefits of Advanced Technology for Patients

  • More precise diagnosis and treatment planning
  • Faster appointments and fewer repeat visits
  • Comfortable, mess-free impressions
  • Reduced radiation exposure with digital imaging
  • Better communication through visual tools and 3D scans

FAQs About Dental Technology

Is Cone Beam CT safe?

Yes. It uses a focused beam with lower radiation than a medical CT scan.

Why are digital impressions better than traditional molds?

They’re faster, more accurate, and more comfortable for patients.

Do digital X-rays expose me to radiation?

Very minimal. Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than film X-rays.

Will I see my intraoral camera images?

Yes. We review them with you so you can better understand your oral health.

Does technology make treatment more expensive?

Not necessarily — it often saves costs by reducing errors and repeat visits.
