Advanced Diagnostics with CBCT Scans at Dillon Family Dental in Dillon, CO
At Dillon Family Dental, we are committed to providing our patients in Dillon, CO, with the most accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. That’s why we utilize state-of-the-art CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan technology. A CBCT scan provides highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan, offering a level of precision not possible with traditional X-rays.
What is a CBCT Scan?
A CBCT scan is a specialized type of X-ray equipment used when conventional 2D dental or facial X-rays are not sufficient. It produces three-dimensional images, allowing our dentists to view complex anatomical structures from multiple angles and depths. This technology is crucial for comprehensive planning and safer procedures.

Accurate Diagnosis: Helps identify issues that might be missed with traditional X-rays, such as hidden infections, precise root canal anatomy, and sinus pathology.
-
Precise Treatment Planning: Essential for planning complex procedures like dental implant placement, wisdom tooth extractions, orthodontic treatment, and root canal therapy.
-
Improved Safety: Allows for pre-visualization of vital structures, minimizing risks during surgical procedures.
