Planmeca 3D CBCT Imaging in Asheville, NC
At Asheville Smiles, we believe accurate diagnosis leads to better care. That’s why we use the Planmeca 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner, one of the most advanced imaging systems in modern dentistry. This technology provides detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, airway, and surrounding structures—information that simply isn’t possible with traditional 2D X-rays.
What is 3D CBCT Imaging?
CBCT imaging uses a low-dose cone-shaped beam to create highly detailed 3D radiographs of your mouth and jaw. Unlike traditional X-rays, which show only flat images, CBCT scans reveal depth, dimension, and hidden structures with incredible accuracy.
Why 3D Radiographs are Important
- Improved Diagnosis – detect issues that may not appear on standard X-rays.
- Accurate Treatment Planning – essential for implants, root canals, extractions, and orthodontics.
- Airway & TMJ Evaluation – helps identify sleep apnea risks and jaw joint disorders.
- Bone Health Assessment – ensures proper support for implants or restorative treatments.
- Safer, More Predictable Outcomes – allows your dentist to plan with precision and avoid complications.
