Cone Beam Scanner – San Ramon, CA
State-of-the-Art Tools for
the Best Dental Care
Some treatment plans require a more in-depth look at your teeth and oral structures than what we can capture with traditional dental x-rays. Dental implant placement, for example, must be very precise to ensure success and prevent damage to nerves that run throughout your jaw. When Dr. Doel needs to map out a detailed image of your mouth, we use the cone beam CT scanner.
In-House Convenience
Previously, we would need to refer you out of this dental office to have this scan taken in a separate laboratory -- but with the rapid advancement of dental technology, we can now capture these images right here in our state-of-the-art dental office.
The cone beam CT scanner works by moving a cone shaped beam around your head. The tool creates a highly accurate 3D replica of your mouth -- including the jawbone, teeth, neural pathways, and blood vessels.
