Get precise 3D dental imaging with CBCT at Lund Family Dentistry. Ideal for implants, TMJ, root canals & more—safe, fast, and highly detailed diagnostics.

At Lund Family Dentistry, we use CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging to provide the most accurate and detailed views of your dental and facial structures. This powerful 3D imaging technology allows us to diagnose with greater precision, plan treatments more effectively, and ensure safer outcomes for procedures ranging from implants to root canals.

CBCT imaging goes beyond traditional dental X-rays—giving us a comprehensive look at your teeth, jaw, nerves, sinuses, and bone structure in stunning detail.

‍

What Is CBCT Imaging?

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced diagnostic tool that captures high-resolution, 3D images of the mouth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Unlike conventional X-rays, CBCT produces a complete 360-degree view, allowing us to visualize bone density, nerve pathways, and soft tissues in one quick scan.

CBCT is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive—and it plays a crucial role in planning complex treatments and catching problems early.

What Conditions Does CBCT Help Diagnose and Treat?

CBCT imaging is used to assess and support a wide range of dental needs, including:

  • Dental implants – Accurately measure bone volume and placement for successful implant positioning
  • Root canals – Detect tiny root canals, infection, and abnormalities not visible on standard X-rays
  • Tooth impactions – Identify the exact location and position of impacted teeth, like wisdom teeth
  • TMJ disorders – Evaluate the temporomandibular joints and detect joint damage or misalignment
  • Orthodontics – Guide precise treatment planning for braces or aligners by visualizing jaw and tooth alignment
  • Sinus issues – Detect sinus complications related to oral health or dental procedures

Benefits of CBCT Imaging

  • High accuracy and detail – 3D images provide more information than flat X-rays
  • Improved diagnosis and planning – Catch potential issues early and avoid complications
  • Faster, safer procedures – Reduced guesswork means more efficient and successful treatments
  • Low radiation exposure – Modern CBCT machines emit significantly less radiation than older medical CT scans
  • Comfortable and quick – The scan takes less than a minute and is entirely non-invasive

Whether you're undergoing dental implants, orthodontics, or need a precise diagnosis, CBCT helps us provide top-tier care with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the scan take?

The actual scan takes less than a minute. You’ll be in and out of the imaging suite in just a few minutes total.

Will I feel anything during the scan?

No. CBCT imaging is completely painless and non-invasive. You simply stand or sit still while the machine does the work.

Why would I need CBCT instead of a regular X-ray?

CBCT provides a 3D image that offers more detail than standard 2D X-rays, which is essential for complex treatments like implants, root canals, or TMJ evaluation.
