Modern dentistry demands precision diagnostics for the most successful outcomes, particularly for complex procedures like implant placement, root canal therapy, and orthodontic treatment. Traditional two-dimensional x-rays often leave crucial details hidden, potentially impacting treatment success. At Park Smiles NYC, our state-of-the-art 3D Cone Beam CT imaging technology provides exceptionally detailed three-dimensional views of your entire oral structure, enabling our specialists to plan and perform treatments with unprecedented accuracy and confidence.
3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technology that creates highly detailed, three-dimensional scans of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional dental x-rays that capture only two-dimensional images, CBCT scanning provides complete volumetric information, allowing visualization from any angle and in any plane.
This sophisticated imaging technology works by rotating around your head, capturing hundreds of distinct images in just 10-30 seconds. These images are then reconstructed using powerful software to create a comprehensive 3D model of your oral and maxillofacial region. The resulting scan shows bone, teeth, soft tissue, and airway spaces with remarkable clarity and precision, revealing structures and relationships that remain hidden on conventional x-rays.
At Park Smiles NYC, our advanced CBCT scanner utilizes the latest technology with focused field capabilities, allowing us to capture precisely the region of interest while minimizing radiation exposure. The detailed information provided by these scans enables our specialists to make more accurate diagnoses, identify potential complications before they arise, and develop treatment plans with exceptional precision. This technology represents a significant advancement in dental diagnostics, providing crucial information for complex treatments while enhancing patient safety and treatment outcomes.

Our iCAT system gives Park Smiles NYC state-of-the-art technology to help diagnose potential issues more accurately and provide treatment with unprecedented confidence. Unlike a traditional spiral CT scanner, this acclaimed 3D system utilizes cone beam CT technology and provides precise, crystal-clear digital images while minimizing your exposure to radiation. The iCAT also enables us to perform a wider range of diagnoses and treatments in our office, helping to reduce multiple visits. In addition, our new 3D scanner allows us to choose the field of view, or scanning area, that best suits your specific treatment needs. This also helps to limit your radiation exposure, because we are focused specifically on your area of concern. The iCAT system brings the latest 3D technology to Park Smiles NYC, providing unmatched visualization of anatomical detail, which aids in treatment planning and helps us better explain the particulars of your case and address any questions you might have.

3D cone beam CT imaging provides unparalleled diagnostic accuracy by creating detailed three-dimensional representations of your oral structures that reveal critical details invisible on traditional x-rays. This comprehensive visualization allows our specialists to identify conditions at their earliest stages and evaluate complex anatomical relationships from any angle. The technology’s ability to show bone density, nerve pathways, and soft tissue relationships enables more precise diagnosis of various dental and maxillofacial conditions.
This advanced imaging significantly enhances treatment planning for complex procedures like implant placement, root canal therapy, and orthodontic treatment. The detailed information allows for virtual treatment simulation, helping to identify potential challenges before they arise and enabling more predictable outcomes. For implant procedures, the precise evaluation of available bone and vital structure location often allows for less invasive surgical approaches and optimal implant positioning for long-term success.
Patients benefit from more efficient care with fewer appointments and reduced treatment time when treatment is planned using 3D imaging. The comprehensive information often eliminates the need for exploratory procedures or treatment adjustments, allowing more straightforward and efficient completion of complex dental work. This can translate to less time in the dental chair and faster resolution of dental issues.
The safety profile of modern 3D cone beam CT technology has improved significantly, with today’s focused-field scanners using substantially less radiation than medical CT scans while providing targeted dental information. Our advanced system allows us to capture precisely the region of interest while minimizing exposure. This technology provides crucial diagnostic information while maintaining our commitment to patient safety through appropriate use and optimized exposure parameters.
At Park Smiles NYC, our 3D cone beam CT imaging services are provided by our experienced team of specialists who understand the critical importance of precise diagnostics in modern dentistry. Our staff includes professionals specifically trained in advanced imaging techniques and interpretation. Dr. Krystle Kendall collaborates with our imaging specialists to utilize these detailed scans for comprehensive treatment planning, ensuring that each patient benefits from the most accurate diagnostic information available.
Our team’s approach to 3D imaging emphasizes both technical excellence and thorough interpretation, going beyond simply capturing images to providing meaningful diagnostic insights. We maintain the highest standards in radiation safety, utilizing focused-field capabilities and optimized exposure parameters to follow the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). Throughout the imaging process, our entire staff prioritizes your comfort and understanding, explaining the purpose of the scan and how the information will benefit your specific treatment. Our specialists regularly participate in continuing education focused on the latest advances in 3D imaging technology and interpretation, ensuring that you receive the most current diagnostic approaches.
Traditional dental x-rays capture two-dimensional images that provide limited views of complex three-dimensional structures, often resulting in superimposed or overlapping images where critical details may be obscured. In contrast, 3D cone beam CT technology captures hundreds of highly detailed images from multiple angles and reconstructs them into a comprehensive three-dimensional model that can be viewed from any perspective. This allows visualization of internal structures, precise measurement of dimensions and relationships, and clear separation of overlapping anatomy. While conventional x-rays show basic tooth and bone outlines, CBCT reveals bone density variations, soft tissue boundaries, nerve pathways, sinus anatomy, and subtle pathology that might otherwise remain undetected. For complex cases, this additional information can be crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, potentially making the difference between treatment success and failure.
Modern 3D cone beam CT imaging is considered very safe when used appropriately, with radiation doses significantly lower than medical CT scans. Our advanced system at Park Smiles NYC utilizes focused-field technology and optimized exposure parameters to capture only the specific region needed for diagnosis while minimizing radiation. A typical CBCT scan in our office exposes patients to radiation comparable to approximately 2-5 days of natural background radiation or a short airplane flight. We follow strict protocols to ensure this technology is used only when clinically necessary and the diagnostic benefits outweigh the minimal risks. Special precautions are taken for pregnant patients, with scans typically postponed unless absolutely essential for urgent treatment. Our commitment to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guides all our imaging decisions, ensuring you receive the diagnostic information needed with minimal exposure.
Several dental conditions particularly benefit from the enhanced diagnostic capabilities of 3D imaging. Implant planning is perhaps the most common application, as the technology provides crucial information about bone volume, density, and vital structure location that dramatically improves implant positioning and success rates. Endodontic cases involving complex root anatomy, extra canals, fractures, or persistent infections often require 3D evaluation to identify issues invisible on conventional x-rays. Impacted teeth, especially wisdom teeth near the nerve canal or unusually positioned canines, benefit from precise localization and relationship assessment before extraction or orthodontic treatment. TMJ disorders often require 3D evaluation to properly assess joint spaces and bone changes. Orthodontic cases involving skeletal discrepancies, asymmetries, or airway concerns benefit from comprehensive 3D assessment. Additionally, pathology evaluation, including cysts, tumors, and inflammatory conditions, is significantly enhanced by the detailed visualization of extent and relationship to adjacent structures provided by 3D imaging.
