What Is a 3D CBCT Scan?

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized dental imaging technology we use to produce three-dimensional images of teeth, jaw structures, nerves, airways, and surrounding oral anatomy. Unlike traditional two-dimensional dental X-rays, our CBCT technology captures detailed views from multiple angles, giving us additional diagnostic information when needed. We may recommend a CBCT scan when we need a more comprehensive view of your oral and facial structures to support evaluation and treatment planning.

Our Advanced Imaging Technology

At Family Dentistry of Niles, we use modern imaging technology to support comprehensive oral health evaluations. Our CBCT imaging provides additional diagnostic information that may assist with treatment planning and patient education when clinically appropriate.

Our goal is to help you better understand your oral health so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Are CBCT Scans Safe?

We use CBCT imaging because it is widely used in modern dentistry and is an established diagnostic tool for specific clinical situations. CBCT imaging uses a dose of radiation that is generally lower than some other forms of medical imaging, and we only recommend it when we believe the diagnostic benefit outweighs this exposure.

We carefully evaluate the need for CBCT imaging based on your individual circumstances and treatment considerations, and we only recommend imaging when we expect the diagnostic information to meaningfully support your evaluation or treatment plan.

What to Expect During a CBCT Scan

Before the Scan

We'll explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have before imaging begins.

During the Scan

We'll position you near the CBCT unit while the scanner rotates around your head to capture images. The process is typically brief and non-invasive.

After the Scan

We'll review the images as part of your oral health evaluation and treatment planning process. We'll discuss any findings and recommendations with you directly.
