3D Imaging (CT)

Computed tomography (CT) creates a three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures in a single scan. Unlike a standard X-ray, it lets our team see bone density, nerve pathways, and soft tissue all at once, which supports more precise planning before certain treatments.

When 3D Imaging Is Typically Used

Implant Planning — Evaluating bone volume and nerve position helps determine safe, accurate implant placement.
Oral Surgery — A detailed view of tooth roots and surrounding bone supports planning for extractions or other surgical needs.
Complex Diagnostics — When a standard X-ray doesn't provide enough detail, a 3D scan can reveal issues in bone or tissue that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Part of a Connected Digital Workflow

3D Imaging often works alongside other digital tools in our office. Findings from a CT scan can inform restorations designed with CAD/CAM Technology or be reviewed together with images from an Intraoral Camera, giving you and our team a clearer, shared picture of your treatment plan.
