NOW YOU CAN HAVE THE MOST COMPLETE INFORMATION for you and your doctor from a single, simple scan that takes seconds to perform…

Now there’s a remarkable new technology that creates virtually limitless views of the face, neck, teeth, jaw, and skull for more complete treatment planning.

It’s called 3-D cone beam imaging. It is fast, simple, and completely painless. In seconds, this new form of X-ray tomography scans the structures of your head and converts these images into detailed studies. In no time at all, your dental specialist can view your images in computer generated studies of the bones of your face, your teeth, and many other details from numerous angles.

It makes sense for your doctor to have accurate and complete information to plan your treatment. Safe and reliable 3-D cone beam imaging provides that information, with a host of advantages for both you and your doctors.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The 3-D cone beam imaging system is essentially a digital X-ray scanner that rotates around the patient’s head. Just like digital cameras, cone beam imaging uses digital technology to record the images instead of old-fashioned film. This process is called “cone beam imaging” because the scanner projects X-rays in a carefully controlled, cone-shaped beam that captures the complete volume of everything in its field with minimal X-ray exposure.

You remain still while the scanner revolves around your head in one complete circle. In seconds, it gathers all the necessary information your doctor needs to diagnose and treat you. No special preparation is needed to acquire this accurate data. The data is converted by computer into state-of-the-art are dental studies and delivered to your doctor to plan your treatment.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM ORDINARY DENTAL X-RAYS?

Typical dental X-rays focus on a small area to produce flat, 2-D pictures. But 3-D cone beam images provide more complete, accurate, and visual images to study your case, with greater accuracy and less radiation than ordinary medical CT machines. 3-D cone beam images can be duplicated and are always stored in case they are needed in the future.

Advantages of 3-D Cone Beam Imaging

• No pre-scan preparation needed
• Quick, simple, painless
• Infinite number of views created from one scan taken in seconds
• Less radiation and greater accuracy than conventional medical CT machines
• 3-D images rather than “flat” dental pictures to visualize “inside” skull and jaw bone
• Your 3-D Scans saved indefinitely
• Gives your doctor confidence to plan and monitor your treatment
