Our Technology

3D Cone Beam Scanner

Going above and beyond traditional x-rays, our 3D cone beam scanner is a form of x-ray technology that captures comprehensive, detailed digital images of a patient’s teeth, facial bones, and tissues in just one seamless scan. This allows our doctors to provide treatment plans with the highest degree of diagnostic precision and accuracy for both your smile and your peace of mind.
