At 1Smile Dental, we believe that the quality of your outcome is directly tied to the quality of your diagnosis. That is why we utilize Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), an advanced 3D imaging technology that allows us to evaluate your teeth, bone, nerves, airway, and surrounding anatomy with exceptional precision.
Whether you are considering dental implants, need a root canal, or are exploring a full mouth rehabilitation, CBCT allows us to diagnose more accurately, plan more precisely, and treat more predictably.
CBCT, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography, is a specialized dental imaging system that produces a three-dimensional, high-resolution scan of your entire oral and facial structure.
Traditional X-rays are limited because they flatten complex anatomy into a 2D image. CBCT, on the other hand, gives us a fully interactive 3D model, allowing us to analyze structures from every angle.
With CBCT, we can:
This level of insight leads to more accurate diagnoses and significantly improved outcomes.
For advanced and comprehensive cases, CBCT is no longer optional. It is the standard of care.
At 1Smile Dental, we use CBCT to eliminate guesswork and elevate precision.
CBCT allows us to:
Precision diagnostics lead to better treatment decisions and better long-term results.
CBCT plays a critical role across multiple areas of dentistry, especially when precision and predictability matter most.
CBCT is essential for planning dental implants and full arch solutions like All-on-4 or All-on-6.
It allows us to:

CBCT has become a game-changer in root canal diagnosis and treatment, especially in complex or previously treated teeth.

This allows us to treat the source of the problem more precisely rather than relying on estimation.
In many cases, CBCT can mean the difference between saving a tooth and losing it.
