At Schultz Family Dentistry in Dubuque, IA, we offer in-house 3D CBCT, a modern scanning machine designed to show your teeth, jaws, and surrounding bone in full three-dimensional detail. This process captures multiple X-ray images around your head and combines them into one clear model. Our patients appreciate that this view uncovers hidden issues like tooth roots or thin bone sections without requiring invasive procedures. Patients of all ages find this comfortable and quick, especially those who feel anxious about dental visits. Because the scan is done in-house, you get faster results under one roof.
How Our Cone-Beam Scanner Works for You
This scan uses many small X-rays, which our computer stitches together into a lifelike image. You simply sit or stand, bite on a small plastic guide, and remain still for less than a minute. The scanner rotates smoothly and quietly, causing minimal discomfort. After the scan, our team reviews the images right away on a screen to plan treatments and answer your questions. Our dentist can rotate the 3D picture on the screen to examine any angle they choose. With CBCT, we cut wait times and make your next visit more precise.
