3D X-Rays in Des Moines, IA

Advanced Cone Beam CBCT Imaging

We use cutting-edge 3D imaging technology to provide precise and comprehensive diagnostics. Our advanced cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems, including Axeos CBCT and Galileos 3D CBCT, allow us to capture detailed images of teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures with unparalleled accuracy.

What Is Cone Beam CBCT?

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technology that produces highly detailed 3D scans of your oral structures. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT creates a complete 3D model, allowing us to examine your teeth, bone, nerves, and soft tissues from every angle. This level of detail enhances diagnosis and treatment planning for a wide range of dental and maxillofacial conditions.

How Does CBCT Work?

Quick Scan: The patient stands or sits while the CBCT machine rotates around their head.
Low-Dose X-Ray Beam: A cone-shaped X-ray beam captures multiple images from different angles.
3D Reconstruction: The images are combined into a high-resolution 3D model using advanced software.
Detailed Analysis: Our dentist reviews the scan to diagnose conditions and plan precise treatments.

What Are Can 3D X-rays Diagnose?

Dental Implant Planning – Ensures accurate implant placement with bone assessment.
Orthodontic Evaluation – Provides insight into tooth positioning and jaw alignment.
TMJ Disorders – Assesses the temporomandibular joint for dysfunction or damage.
Wisdom Teeth & Extractions – Identifies impacted teeth and nerve locations.
Root Canal Therapy – Helps visualize tooth roots and infection areas.
Sleep Apnea & Airway Assessment – Evaluates airway passages for potential obstructions.
Sinus Evaluation – Detects sinus-related dental issues.

Benefits of 3D X-Rays

Higher Accuracy: Produces detailed images for precise diagnostics.
Lower Radiation Exposure: Uses a minimal dose compared to medical CT scans.
Faster Scan Time: Typically takes under 20 seconds.
Improved Treatment Planning: Allows for more predictable outcomes in procedures.
Enhanced Patient Understanding: Visual 3D models help explain conditions and treatments.
