3D CBCT Imaging for More Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment

3D CBCT imaging gives your surgeon a clear, detailed view of your jaw and facial bones before treatment begins. CBCT stands for cone beam computed tomography. It is a type of scan that builds a three-dimensional image of your facial structures.

At El Paso Oral Surgery, we use 3D CBCT scanning in our state-of-the-art office. Your surgeon can view the image from virtually every angle. That detail helps us diagnose and treat a wide range of oral health needs with greater accuracy.

What does a CBCT scan show?

A 3D CBCT scan shows your jaw, airway, sinuses, and facial structures in three dimensions. Your surgeon may use it to:

Measure the shape and size of your jaw for dental implant surgery or oral appliances
Diagnose airway problems linked to sleep disorders
Find and identify lesions or growths
Evaluate your sinuses and nasal cavity
Plan treatment for facial trauma cases

What Are the Benefits of 3D CBCT Scanning?

3D CBCT scanning helps your surgeon build an effective treatment plan and keeps you involved in every step. The scans are fully digital, so your surgeon can review the images with you. Other benefits include:

Better diagnostic detail for effective treatment plans
Less radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays
Images your doctor and care team can view right away

Can I See My 3D CBCT Images?

Yes. Your 3D CBCT images are digital and ready to view right away. Your surgeon can walk through them with you, so you understand what we see and why we recommend a treatment. You stay just as involved in your care as your surgical team.

How Does 3D CBCT Imaging Help With Dental Implants?

A 3D CBCT scan shows the shape and dimensions of your jaw. Your surgeon uses those details to plan precision implant placement. Paired with digital surgical guides and bone-preservation techniques, this planning supports faster healing and predictable outcomes for long-term tooth replacement.
