Cone Beam CT
At Purity Endodontics in Los Angeles, we believe exceptional care starts with exceptional diagnostics. That’s why we use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)—a powerful 3D imaging technology that allows us to see your teeth, bone structure, and surrounding tissues with unmatched clarity and detail. This advanced tool enhances our accuracy, improves treatment planning, and helps ensure better outcomes for your care.
Cone Beam CT scans produce high-resolution, three-dimensional images that go far beyond what traditional X-rays can reveal. They allow us to identify complex root canal anatomy, locate hidden infections, detect fractures, and assess bone density—all in a single, low-radiation scan. This level of detail is especially helpful for diagnosing difficult cases and planning treatments like retreatment, apicoectomy, or surgical procedures.
The scanning process is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive. You’ll simply stand or sit while the CBCT unit rotates around your head, capturing a comprehensive view in just seconds. There’s no need for any special preparation, and the scan is completed right here in our office—making it easy and efficient for both diagnosis and treatment.
Having access to 3D imaging means we can make more informed decisions, avoid surprises during procedures, and provide the most accurate and minimally invasive care possible. At Purity Endodontics, our investment in technology like CBCT reflects our commitment to precision, safety, and the highest standard of endodontic care.
