Cone Beam Imaging Rockville, MD

Our dentist and team are proud to offer cone beam 3D imaging as part of our commitment to advanced diagnostic care.

With this tool, we are able to plan and perform your treatment with greater accuracy and confidence.

Discover the Benefits of Cone Beam Imaging

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialized type of X-ray equipment that captures a comprehensive 3D image of your oral and facial anatomy in a single scan. Unlike traditional imaging, which offers only flat, two-dimensional views, CBCT produces a full 360-degree view of your teeth, bones, nerve pathways and soft tissues. This technology is fast, safe and incredibly valuable for diagnosis and treatment planning.

When Do We Use Cone Beam Imaging?

We may recommend cone beam imaging for a variety of reasons. This technology is especially useful when evaluating complex cases or preparing for procedures that require detailed planning. We often use cone beam scans to:

  • Plan dental implant placement
  • Diagnose TMJ disorders
  • Evaluate impacted or unerupted teeth
  • Identify the source of dental pain
  • Assess jawbone structure and density
  • Plan root canal therapy
  • Detect cysts, tumors and other abnormalities
  • Analyze facial trauma or bone fractures

By offering a clear view of your oral structures, CBCT helps our dentist and team reduce risks, improve treatment outcomes and ensure that no detail is overlooked.

A Safer, More Comfortable Experience

Cone beam imaging is a quick and noninvasive procedure. You will stand or sit while the scanner rotates around your head, capturing all necessary data in less than a minute. The radiation exposure is significantly lower than that of traditional CT scans, making it a safe and effective option for most patients.

We believe that better diagnostics lead to better care. To learn more about how cone beam imaging in Rockville, Maryland, can support your dental health, we invite you to call us at 301-738-1155 schedule a consultation with Dr. John Savukinas and learn more.
