3D Cone-Beam Imaging Winthrop
We See Your Smile From Every Possible Angle
Over the past decade, cone beam imaging has revolutionized dentistry, forever changing the way oral health professionals assess and evaluate the jaw, teeth, and skull. This type of digital imaging is of particular use in the planning and placement of dental implants, root canal treatment, orthodontic treatment, orthognathic TMJ analysis, and more. Unlike traditional digital X-ray imaging, cone beam volumetric tomography captures hundreds of “slices” of digital information that are then converted by specialized software into a clear, precise 3D image. To learn more about how digital radiography and cone beam imaging benefit you, simply ask one of our skilled providers.

The Benefits of CBCT Technology in Dentistry
Brooks Dental is always on the lookout for the latest in dental technology so that we can give you superior care. With this in mind, our practice uses the Carestream 9300 System for 3D cone beam imaging. CBCT stands for cone-beam computed tomography. In less than a minute, hundreds of images are captured from a variety of angles, and the data captured are used to reconstruct a 3D image of your teeth, facial bones, sinuses, and airway
You simply sit or stand in place while the CBCT scanner moves in one complete circle around your head, gathering the volumes of data. This technology is invaluable, providing orthognathic TMJ analysis, and more. It gives us more detailed information than a 2D or panoramic X-ray and is invaluable when planning dental implant placements, orthodontic treatment, and root canal treatment.
Your Health and Safety First
Head and neck CBCT scans produce the same kind of high-quality images as a CAT scan, but it does so with significantly less radiation-- as much as 10x less radiation than a conventional CT scan.
At Brooks Dental, the Carestream 9300 System’s complete information is a vital component of the quality care we provide. As a patient, you will have greater confidence in our evaluation of your case and higher satisfaction with your treatment.
