3D Scanning

A commitment to providing the highest standard of care requires an investment in the most advanced technology. At Belmont Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, our practice is equipped with the state-of-the-art CS 9300 cone beam CT (CBCT) system. This cutting-edge technology provides our oral surgeons, Dr. Pasquale Eckert and Dr. Blaise Eckert, with precise, crystal-clear digital images of your facial anatomy, allowing them to diagnose potential issues more accurately and provide treatment with unprecedented confidence.

The Benefits of Our 3D Technology

Our investment in advanced 3D imaging provides distinct advantages for your diagnosis, treatment, and overall experience.

1. Superior Diagnostic Accuracy 

The CS 9300 system provides unmatched visualization of your jaw, teeth, nerves, and surrounding structures. These comprehensive 3D views reveal critical details that are invisible on standard 2D X-rays, leading to a more accurate and complete diagnosis.

2. Precise Treatment Planning 

The crystal-clear images allow our surgeons to meticulously plan complex procedures, such as dental implant placement or wisdom teeth removal, before the surgery begins. This helps to reduce surprises during treatment and leads to more predictable, successful outcomes.

3. Enhanced Collaboration and Communication 

This innovative technology allows Drs. Eckert to quickly and easily share 3D images with your referring dentist. This fosters a collaborative approach to your care, improving your overall experience. The detailed visuals also help our team better explain the particulars of your case to you, so you feel fully informed.

4. Focus on Patient Safety 

Unlike a traditional spiral CT scanner, our cone beam CT system minimizes your exposure to radiation. The CS 9300 scanner also allows us to choose a specific field of view, focusing only on the area of concern. This ability to limit the scanning area further reduces your radiation exposure while capturing all necessary diagnostic information.

How We Use 3D Imaging

The high-resolution 3D scans from our CS 9300 system form the foundation for a wide range of diagnoses and treatments in our office, often helping to reduce the need for multiple visits. This technology is essential for accurately planning the placement of dental implants, evaluating impacted wisdom teeth in relation to vital nerves, assessing bone volume for grafting needs, and diagnosing oral pathologies.
