At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, we use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to enhance the precision and safety of our diagnostic process. Our dentist and team rely on this advanced imaging system to capture highly detailed 3D views of the teeth, jaw, bone structure and surrounding tissues. Cone beam technology plays a critical role in planning complex treatments and improving overall care outcomes.
This imaging system allows us to assess oral conditions from multiple angles, which supports more accurate diagnoses and treatment decisions. By integrating this technology into our workflow, we provide a higher standard of care in a comfortable, efficient setting.
What to Expect During a Cone Beam Scan
A cone beam scan is quick, painless and noninvasive. Patients stand or sit while the machine rotates around the head, capturing hundreds of images in less than a minute. These images are then reconstructed into a 3D model of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Our dentist and team use this detailed scan to evaluate bone density, nerve pathways, root structure and sinus location. This level of insight is especially valuable for surgical planning, endodontic care, orthodontics and implant procedures. With improved visibility, we reduce the risks of complications and increase treatment success.
Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT scans provide a full picture of the anatomy with minimal radiation exposure. The scan is reviewed with the patient in real-time, helping improve understanding and allowing for collaborative treatment planning.
Technology That Supports Better Outcomes
Cone beam technology allows our team to make informed clinical decisions with a high level of precision. It ensures that procedures are planned with confidence, using data that is accurate and tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy.
We incorporate this technology into our diagnostic process whenever advanced imaging is necessary. This helps reduce guesswork, prevent delays and improve patient comfort throughout treatment. Our dentist and team are trained in interpreting CBCT scans and using them to guide safe and predictable care.
