Cone Beam 3D Imaging
Cone Beam 3D Imaging in Spokane, WA
Accurate imaging is one of the most important tools in planning safe and effective oral surgery.
At Timberline Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we use advanced Cone Beam 3D Imaging technology to capture highly detailed views of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures.
Unlike traditional x-rays, which provide only a flat, two-dimensional picture, cone beam technology creates a precise three-dimensional image of the mouth and face. This allows our Spokane oral surgeons to examine bone, soft tissues, nerves, and airways with unmatched clarity—helping us plan treatments with confidence and precision.
Did you know?
Cone Beam 3D scans provide image quality similar to a hospital CT scan but with significantly lower radiation exposure and faster results. In just 10 seconds, we can capture a comprehensive image that is stored digitally for future reference or securely shared with your dentist, orthodontist, or other providers as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can Cone Beam 3D Imaging help me?
Cone Beam technology allows us to evaluate more than just the teeth and jawbone. It provides a complete view of the craniofacial structures, including nerves and connective tissue, giving us critical insight for procedures like dental implants, extractions, jaw surgery, and orthodontic support. This level of detail helps ensure safer, more accurate treatment planning.
What should I expect during the scan?
The scan is quick and completely noninvasive. You’ll stand or sit still while the cone beam unit rotates around your head, capturing a full 3D image in about 10 seconds. Unlike traditional x-rays, this scan shows your entire head and face in three dimensions, giving your surgeon the clearest possible view.
What happens after my scan?
There’s no discomfort, downtime, or special preparation needed. Once the scan is complete, your oral surgeon will review the images with you and explain how they’ll be used to guide your treatment plan. The images are stored digitally, making them easy to access for future care.
