Dr. Robert McGonigle and associates use state-of-the-art cone beam imaging to view your teeth and mouth in detail. Also referred to as CT imaging or CBCT imaging, this powerful technology is designed to capture 3D images of your teeth and supporting oral structures, allowing our skilled dentists to more easily diagnose and treat a variety of dental issues.
When is Cone Beam Imaging Used?
Cone beam imaging provides our dentists with a detailed, three dimensional reconstruction of your teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose and throat. These images may be used to:
- Plan dental implant placement
- Diagnose tooth decay and other dental issues
- Detect endodontic issues and plan root canal treatments
- Plan and evaluate the progress of orthodontic treatment
- Assess TMJ disorders
- Visualize abnormal teeth
- Evaluate your jaws and face
- View the head and neck as a comprehensive whole
- Analyze dental and facial trauma following injury
Once our dentists and team have a comprehensive understanding of your oral health needs, we can begin planning a treatment to improve your oral health and restore your smile.
Benefits of Cone Beam Imaging
CBCT imaging is highly versatile, and is very effective in evaluating dental conditions and in planning and carrying out treatments. One of the greatest advantages of this technology is that it provides us with a view of your teeth, mouth and supporting oral structures that is far more detailed than traditional dental X-rays. This allows us to understand your exact needs and provide you with care that is more effective, precise and comfortable.
