Frequently Asked Questions

Dental 3D imaging, or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), is an advanced X-ray technology providing detailed images of dental structures in three dimensions. It allows dentists to view teeth, bones, and soft tissues with exceptional clarity.

A 3D dental scan is recommended for complex cases, such as implant planning, orthodontic treatment, or detailed diagnostic analysis. It provides comprehensive data not available with standard 2D X-rays.

A 3D dental scan is typically quick, often completed in under a minute. The actual scanning process is usually around 20-30 seconds.

The cost of a 3D dental image varies, depending on the clinic and the specific area being scanned. It's generally more expensive than traditional X-rays but offers more detailed information.

3D imaging provides precise diagnostic information, is comfortable and non-invasive, emits less radiation, facilitates collaborative care with specialists, and offers a comprehensive view of dental structures.

A CBCT usually cost between $300-$400 minus what your insurance pays. We always give you the price of any procedure with an estimated insurance coverage before starting any procedure.
