At Ventura Bright Dental, we’re proud to use advanced 3D CT scanning technology to provide our patients with the highest standard of care. This modern imaging system allows us to view your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and soft tissues in incredible detail — far beyond what traditional X-rays can show.
Our cone beam 3D CT scans help us plan treatments with unmatched accuracy, ensuring better outcomes and a safer, more comfortable experience for you.
A 3D CT dental scan (also known as cone beam computed tomography or CBCT) creates a precise, three-dimensional image of your entire mouth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Unlike standard dental X-rays, this scan captures comprehensive views from every angle, allowing our team to analyze your oral health with incredible precision.
This technology is especially valuable when planning for dental implants, tooth extractions, root canal therapy, or jawbone evaluations. The process is fast, comfortable, and completely non-invasive — giving us a complete view of your oral structures in just a few seconds.
3D dental scans allow us to detect potential issues and plan treatments before we ever begin a procedure. This advanced technology helps us:
Create highly accurate dental implant treatment plans
Identify bone quality and density for implant placement
Detect infections, cysts, or tumors that aren’t visible on traditional X-rays
Evaluate sinuses, nerves, and roots before oral surgery
Plan for wisdom tooth extractions and other complex procedures
Reduce risks and improve surgical precision
Because 3D CT imaging uses a focused cone beam, radiation exposure is minimal and safe for most patients.
Nearly all patients can benefit from 3D imaging, but it’s especially useful for:
Individuals planning for dental implants or full mouth restorations
Patients experiencing unexplained oral pain or swelling
Those preparing for tooth extractions, especially impacted teeth
Patients who need evaluation of their jawbone, sinuses, or nerve pathways
Anyone requiring precise diagnosis of dental or facial conditions
Before performing a scan, our dental team will review your medical history to ensure the procedure is safe and appropriate for you.
The process is simple, quick, and comfortable:
Preparation: You’ll be asked to remove any metal jewelry or eyewear, and we’ll place a protective lead apron over your body.
Positioning: You’ll stand or sit in the middle of our CBCT scanner and gently rest your chin or bite on a small support.
Scanning: The scanner will rotate around your head for about 20 seconds, capturing a full 3D image of your mouth and jaw.
Review: Your dentist will immediately review the images to plan your personalized treatment.
There’s no discomfort or downtime — you can continue your day right after your appointment.
