A cone beam machine (often called CBCT – Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a special type of 3D dental imaging technology. Instead of a flat, two-dimensional X-ray, it uses a cone-shaped beam of radiation to capture a full 3D scan of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures in a single rotation.
How Cone Beam Benefits Patients
-
Better Diagnosis & Planning
-
Provides a detailed 3D view of teeth, bone, airways, and nerves.
-
Helps detect issues that traditional X-rays can miss, like hidden infections, fractures, or unusual anatomy.
-
-
Improved Dental Implant Placement
-
Allows dentists to precisely measure bone volume and identify nerve locations before placing dental implants.
-
Increases safety, accuracy, and long-term success of dental implant treatment.
-
-
More Accurate Root Canal Treatment
-
Shows the exact shape and number of root canals.
-
Identifies infections or complications that can’t be seen with 2D imaging.
-
-
Enhanced Orthodontic & Surgical Planning
-
Helps orthodontists and dental surgeons plan tooth movement, jaw surgery, and airway treatments with precision.
-
Allows for digital treatment planning and simulation.
-
-
Lower Radiation than Medical CT
-
Uses far less radiation compared to a traditional medical CT scan.
-
Safe for dental use while still giving highly detailed images.
-
-
More Comfortable for Patients
-
Quick scan (usually less than 30 seconds).
-
Non-invasive and painless.

👉 In simple terms:
A cone beam machine gives your dentist a complete 3D map of your mouth. With this technology, your care is more accurate, safer, and tailored to your unique anatomy.
