3D X-Rays (CBCT Imaging)

At Buchanan Family Dentistry, we’re committed to offering our patients the most advanced dental technology available. One of the ways we do this is by using 3D X-rays (imaging) through Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This cutting-edge technology allows us to see more, plan better, and treat with greater precision—providing you with safer, faster, and more accurate dental care.

3D X-Rays

What are 3D X-Rays (CBCT)?

CBCT is a special type of 3D imaging that provides detailed, high-resolution views of the teeth, jawbone, sinuses, nerves, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional 2D dental X-rays, CBCT scans create a three-dimensional image, offering a complete view from multiple angles in just one quick scan. It’s comfortable, non-invasive, and uses a focused beam to minimize radiation exposure while maximizing detail.

Why 3D Imaging Matters

Having a clearer, more accurate view of your oral anatomy means we can diagnose conditions more precisely and create treatment plans that are tailored specifically to your needs. CBCT technology is especially valuable for:

  • Dental Implants – Accurately mapping bone structure and nerve location to ensure optimal placement.
  • Root Canal Therapy – Identifying hidden canals or unusual root anatomy.
  • Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth – Assessing complex tooth positions and proximity to nerves or sinuses.
  • Orthodontics & TMJ Treatment – Analyzing bite alignment and joint health.
  • Detecting Cysts, Infections, or Bone Loss – Catching problems early and improving outcomes.

Your Comfort and Safety Come First

We understand that some patients may have concerns about X-rays. That’s why we’ve invested in CBCT technology that delivers detailed images with significantly lower radiation than traditional medical CT scans. The entire process is quick—usually completed in under a minute—and designed to keep you as comfortable as possible.

Experience the Difference

At Buchanan Family Dentistry, we believe that better diagnostics lead to better care. Our 3D X-ray technology helps us deliver treatment that’s not only more efficient but also more predictable and successful.
