3D CBCT Scans

Why 3D Imaging is a Game-Changer for Your Care

A standard X-ray is great for finding cavities, but it doesn’t show the thickness of your bone or the exact path of your nerves. For our neighbors in Harvest Ridge, Eagle’s Landing, and surrounding neighborhoods who require advanced care, our CBCT scanner provides a level of detail that was once only available at major hospitals.

How we use 3D Scans to protect your health:

• • Implant Surgery Precision: We can evaluate your bone density and map out the exact placement of a dental implant before the surgery even starts. This leads to faster healing and a more stable, lifelong result.

• • Complex Root Canal Mapping: Some teeth have “hidden” canals that don’t show up on 2D images. 3D scans allow us to see every detail of the tooth’s interior, ensuring we clear the infection completely.

• • Airway & TMJ Analysis: For patients struggling with sleep apnea or jaw pain, 3D imaging helps us look at the structure of the airway and the jaw joint to find the root cause of the problem.

A Fast, Non-Invasive Experience

If you’ve ever felt claustrophobic in a traditional medical CT scanner, you’ll appreciate the open design of our dental CBCT. The scan takes less than 20 seconds, and you simply stand or sit while the arm rotates around your head. It’s a completely non-invasive process that provides us with thousands of data points instantly.

While Dr. Fahmy reviews your 3D “roadmap” on a high-definition monitor, you can take a moment to decompress in one of our heated massage chairs. We believe that advanced technology shouldn’t feel cold or clinical. It should be a tool that gives you peace of mind. By showing you your own 3D model in “plain English,” we ensure you are fully informed before any treatment begins.

Investing in Accuracy to Save You Time and Money

One of the hallmarks of our philosophy is a commitment to doing things right the first time. By using 3D technology to plan your care, we significantly reduce the risk of complications that could lead to more expensive repairs down the road.

We realize that advanced diagnostics can sometimes feel like an added expense, which is why our team, located just a short drive from Southside Market, acts as your advocate. We’ll check your insurance to see if your scan is covered as part of your surgical or endodontic benefits. For anything not covered by providers like Delta Dental or Cigna, we offer 0% APR financing through Cherry or CareCredit to keep this high level of care within reach for every Elgin family.
