In-House 3D CBCT Scanner Dental Services In East Lansing, MI

At East Lansing Modern Dental, when we find dental technology that’s backed with solid science and helps to give you a more comfortable and predictable dental experience, we’re all for it. After all – our goal is the same as yours – to give you the beautiful, healthy, intact, and functional smile you want, need, and deserve!

There are so many different and amazing dental technologies on the market, so when we decide to invest in one, it is an investment in your lifelong dental and overall health. We choose it because we know it will give us the most accurate and beneficial information possible to guide your personalized treatment plan. Cone beam X–rays are a technology of which we’re especially proud!

What Are Cone Beam Digital X–Rays?

Cone beam X–rays produce a highly detailed digital picture of your anatomy, while a regular digital X–ray doesn’t quite give us all the information we need. By scanning your head, mouth, and throat with a cone beam X–ray machine, we receive highly detailed digital images of your teeth, soft tissue (including your gums and ligaments), sinuses, nerve pathways, and bone. It can even help us see if your jaw joint is functioning as it should. And because the imaging is done digitally, from outside your mouth, you won’t need to bite on X–ray plates, which some people find uncomfortable.

How Do I Prepare For This Service?

There is no preparation for a cone beam scan, except we ask that you remove all things with metal that you wear above your shoulders, such as earrings and piercings, hair accessories, eyeglasses, necklaces, and hearing aids. For women, if you are pregnant, it’s important that you let us know before your scan.

To learn more about this amazing technology or to book a consultation, just give us a call! We’d love to welcome you to the East Lansing Modern Dental family and show you how easy a visit to our dentist can be!

What Type Of Patients Can Benefit From Cone Beam Digital X–Rays?

Patients Seeking Lower Exposure To Radiation: Digital X–rays are just as accurate as film X–rays, plus they’re more comfortable for you! We can even look at them on a chairside monitor together when planning your treatment. Plus, this digital technology also delivers less radiation to you and your loved ones, which is particularly important to people who have undergone cancer treatment or are concerned about radiation exposure for other reasons.
Individuals That Want An In–Depth Look At Their Dental Anatomy: Whether we’re creating a sleep apnea solution and need to see what your airway looks like, are helping you overcome jaw pain or other issues with TMJ treatment, planning your root canal therapy, or are creating precision plans for your dental implant treatment, the cone beam X–ray machine helps us create an accurate strategy that we can all count on. And, of course, all X–rays show things that are not visible in a visual examination alone, such as the condition of fillings, crowns and bridges, hidden tooth decay, abscesses, abnormal growths, impacted teeth, teeth that are yet to erupt, bone loss due to gum disease, and the presence of extra teeth.
People Seeking Dental Health Accuracy: Our cone beam digital X–ray machine is one of the tools our patients love most when they need advanced care. It means, for example, that when you’re coming in for dental implant treatment, you can have your scan right here in our office. There is no traveling to an unfamiliar practice or medical facility, and there’s no waiting for results. Everything is done here on the day that you are here!
Patients That Desire Convenient Care: It does all of this while you’re sitting or standing comfortably – in less than 10 seconds! We’ll position you at the machine and the X–ray arm will move around you. Completely non–invasive and comfortable. A clear picture makes for an ideal dental strategy and a safer, more comfortable way to make a diagnosis and accuracy to help us construct a treatment plan so that you can achieve a healthier mouth and body.
