CBCT Imaging
Advanced dental care starts with accurate diagnostics. At DNTL Studio, Dr. Desai and Dr. Amin use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to deliver high-resolution 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging provides more clarity than traditional x-rays, helping us plan treatment with confidence. If you’re in Upland, CA, call our office today to learn how CBCT can support your oral health.
What Is Cone Beam 3D Imaging?
CBCT is an advanced type of x-ray technology that captures hundreds of images from different angles and assembles them into a complete 3D view. This technology helps your dentist see more than just your teeth. It provides detailed visuals of your jaw, nerves, bone, and soft tissues.
- Comprehensive visuals: Produces a layered, 3D model of your entire oral anatomy for better evaluation
- Fast and efficient: Captures a complete scan in seconds, right in our dental office
- Comfortable experience: No special prep or discomfort, just a quick, non-invasive scan in the dental chair
How CBCT Enhances Dental Diagnosis & Treatment
CBCT imaging helps our dentists plan confidently and minimize surprises during treatment. Whether preparing for surgery or diagnosing hidden concerns, this technology adds accuracy to every step. You receive care that’s more targeted and efficient.
- Pinpoint accuracy: Guides precise procedures like implant placement by mapping exact bone density and nerve positions
- Fewer surprises: Detects hidden issues such as impacted teeth, cysts, or infections before they cause complications
- Smarter decisions: Provides detailed insights that help us tailor care to your individual needs
Common Uses Of CBCT In Dentistry
This technology supports a wide range of procedures, especially those that rely on accurate anatomical detail. It’s a valuable diagnostic tool for both routine and complex treatments.
- Dental implant planning: Helps evaluate jawbone strength, spacing, and positioning before placing implants
- Root canal therapy: Reveals small root canals and complex tooth structures that traditional x-rays might miss
- Orthodontics: Provides a full 3D view of the jaw and teeth to support clear aligner or braces planning
- TMJ and sinus assessments: Offers a detailed look at joints and sinus cavities to diagnose discomfort or dysfunction
CBCT Vs. Traditional Imaging
Compared to standard dental x-rays and older CT scans, CBCT offers superior quality with less exposure. It makes diagnosis faster and often reduces the number of imaging appointments needed.
- Lower radiation exposure: Uses a focused beam to minimize exposure while still delivering clear images
- Detailed images: High-resolution visuals reveal subtle issues like fractures, resorption, or bone loss
- Reduced need for repeat scans: A single scan typically provides enough detail to support multiple phases of treatment
