3D Dental Imaging Technology in the Overland Park - Kansas City Area

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging system that goes beyond traditional X-rays. While it may sound like a medical-grade CT scanner, CBCT offers a smaller field of view (FOV) specifically designed to give dentists a highly detailed, 3D perspective of your dental structures. This enables precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

In addition to addressing dental issues, CBCT can sometimes reveal other concerns, such as sinus problems, which can then be referred to a specialist. One of the key benefits of this technology is its ability to detect issues that standard 2D X-rays might miss, like cracks in teeth or unexplained pain. This allows for a more conservative treatment approach, minimizing invasive procedures while ensuring effective care.

With CBCT, we can plan procedures like crowns and root canals with greater accuracy, and even place dental implants with a guided, precision-based approach. Dr. Tinnel takes pride in showing patients their treatment plans through this advanced technology, ensuring the best possible outcome for each individual case. Let us walk you through the benefits of this cutting-edge tool at your next appointment!
