3D cone beam is a digital imaging technology that uses a cone-shaped x-ray beam to capture a 3-dimensional image of your mouth. With this technology, the cone-shaped x-ray beam rotates a full 360 degrees around your head, taking a series of pictures as it moves. The technology then pieces the images together to create a single 3D image. With this image, we can see your mouth from multiple angles, diagnose a variety of different oral health issues, and create effective treatment plans, including optimal placement of dental implant posts.
