3D Cone Beam X-Ray Machine Helps in Diagnosis and Implant Placement as Well as Discovering Infections

Here at Prairie Hawk Dental at the Meadows, we use a variety of advanced technology for treatments and procedures, including the awesome 3D cone beam. The 3D cone beam X-ray machine helps in diagnosis and implant placements, as well as discovering infections. It not only benefits our patients, but our dentist, Dr. Aaron Goodman, as well.

The 3D cone beam is a type of imaging machine that uses a cone style of X-rays in order to get the most accurate placement possible for dental implants. It provides us with more accuracy and efficiency than previous 2D X-rays used. With the imaging program, the X-rays we get are converted to 3D, where we can move, enlarge, and enhance them.

The 3D cone beam X-ray machine used in our office provides the following benefits:

• Patients have less surgery time.


• We can reassure our patients with more confidence.


• We are able to get the exact angulation and location for the implants.


• It helps us decide if a bone graft is needed.


• We can find the distance to anatomic structures.


• It measures the bone width and contours.
