Advanced 3D Imaging (CBCT)

Precision Diagnostics for Better, More Predictable Care

At Third Avenue Dentistry, advanced technology plays a key role in delivering accurate, personalized care. As a trusted Gastonia dentist, we utilize Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging to provide highly detailed, 3D views of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures.

This technology allows us to diagnose conditions more precisely, plan treatments more effectively, and improve overall outcomes.

What Is CBCT Imaging?

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized type of 3D imaging that captures detailed views of your oral and facial structures in a single scan.

Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT provides:

• 3D visualization of teeth, bone, and nerves

• Greater diagnostic accuracy

• More comprehensive treatment planning

• Enhanced ability to detect underlying issues

This level of detail allows your Gastonia dentist to see what may not be visible with standard imaging.

When Is CBCT Used?

At Third Avenue Dentistry, CBCT imaging supports a wide range of treatments and diagnoses.

Dental Implant Planning

CBCT allows us to evaluate bone structure and precisely plan implant placement for long-term success.

Surgical & Extraction Planning

We can assess the exact position of teeth, roots, and nerves—reducing risk and improving predictability for procedures like extractions.

Root Canal Diagnosis

3D imaging helps identify complex root structures and hidden infections that may not appear on traditional X-rays.

Wisdom Tooth Evaluation

CBCT provides a clear view of impacted teeth and their relationship to surrounding structures, allowing for safer treatment planning.

TMJ & Airway Analysis

We can evaluate jaw joint positioning and airway space, which can be helpful in diagnosing TMJ concerns and sleep-related issues.

Why Advanced Imaging Matters

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective dental care. With CBCT technology, we can:

• Detect issues earlier

• Reduce uncertainty in treatment planning

• Improve safety during procedures

• Deliver more predictable, long-term results

As a Gastonia dentist focused on comprehensive care, we use technology not just to enhance treatment—but to help you better understand your oral health.
