3D Imaging
Advanced Imaging for Precise Diagnosis
The CS 9300 Cone Beam CT system provides advanced 3D imaging designed specifically for oral and maxillofacial care. Unlike traditional spiral CT scanners, Cone Beam CT technology captures detailed three-dimensional images while using focused imaging protocols that help minimize radiation exposure.
This technology allows our surgeons to clearly visualize teeth, jawbone, nerves, sinus structures, and surrounding anatomy—details that may not be fully visible with standard two-dimensional X-rays.
Personalized Imaging with Focused Fields of View
The CS 9300 system allows our team to select a specific field of view tailored to your individual treatment needs. By focusing only on the area of concern, imaging can be completed efficiently while limiting unnecessary exposure.
This level of precision supports planning for a wide range of procedures, including dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, jaw surgery, and other complex oral and facial treatments.
In-Office Imaging for Efficient Care
Our 3D imaging system enables many evaluations and diagnoses to be completed in-office, helping reduce the need for outside imaging and additional visits. When imaging is clinically appropriate, it is performed the same day and reviewed as part of your consultation.
This streamlined approach allows for timely diagnosis, clearer communication, and more efficient coordination of care.
Supporting Collaboration and Clear Communication
High-quality 3D imaging also enhances communication between providers. When needed, Dr. Dalbert Fear and Dr. Alena Fear can securely share 3D images with referring dentists or physicians, supporting collaborative treatment planning and continuity of care.
In addition, reviewing 3D images together allows our surgeons to better explain findings, answer questions, and help you understand your diagnosis and treatment options.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Cone Beam CT imaging?
Cone Beam CT is a type of 3D imaging used in oral surgery that provides detailed views of oral and facial anatomy beyond what traditional X-rays can show.
How is 3D imaging used in oral surgery?
3D imaging helps surgeons evaluate bone structure, nerve location, sinus anatomy, and other details important for safe and effective treatment planning.
Is 3D imaging done in the office?
Yes. When needed, 3D imaging is completed in our office and reviewed during your visit.
Does Cone Beam CT use less radiation than traditional CT scans?
Cone Beam CT technology uses focused imaging protocols designed for dental and oral surgery applications. Imaging is recommended only when clinically appropriate.
Will my images be shared with my referring doctor?
If needed, 3D images can be shared with your referring provider to support collaboration and coordinated care.
