What Is 3D CT Scanning?
3D CT scanning—or 3D dental scanning—is a diagnostic tool that uses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to create three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional two-dimensional x-rays, a 3D CT scan provides a complete and detailed view, enabling more accurate diagnoses and precise treatment plans. This technology is particularly useful for:
- Dental implant placement
- Evaluating bone density
- Detecting hidden dental issues
- Planning complex oral surgeries

Why 3D CT Scanning Is Important for Your Dental Health
The precision of 3D CT scanning offers several advantages, including:
- Improved accuracy: The detailed images allow for more precise planning of procedures such as dental implants, ensuring proper placement and minimizing complications.
- Early detection: Detect potential issues, such as impacted teeth, cysts, or bone abnormalities, that may not be visible on traditional x-rays.
- Enhanced safety: With 3D scans, we can avoid critical areas like nerves and sinuses during surgeries, reducing the risk of complications.
At Periodontal Specialists of Hawaii, we incorporate 3D dental scans into many of our treatments to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
