3D Imaging
Advanced cone beam CT technology gives our surgeons a precise, three-dimensional view of your anatomy — with minimal radiation — for safer, more confident and more predictable treatment.
The Technology
Cone beam CT scan
Unlike a traditional spiral CT scanner, our 3D system uses cone beam CT technology to provide precise, crystal-clear digital images while minimizing your exposure to radiation. This allows Dr. Middleton, Dr. Reuter and Dr. Roemer to diagnose potential issues more accurately and to plan and perform treatment with exceptional confidence.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is cone beam CT imaging?
Cone beam CT is a specialized 3D scanning technology that captures detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaw and surrounding structures in a single quick scan — giving your surgeon far more information than a standard dental x-ray.
Is 3D imaging safe?
Yes. Cone beam CT is designed to deliver precise images while minimizing radiation exposure, using significantly less than a traditional medical CT scan.
How is 3D imaging used in my treatment?
The scan lets your surgeon plan procedures such as dental implants and extractions with pinpoint accuracy, anticipate any challenges in advance, and share images with your referring dentist for coordinated care.
