3D CT Cone Beam Scanning in Houston, TX

The Next Level of Diagnostic Accuracy

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a game-changer in modern dental imaging. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, which provide flat images, cone beam scans generate a complete 3D model of the head and neck. This gives our team the ability to diagnose, plan, and treat with enhanced safety and precision.

CBCT is especially beneficial for:

• Dental implant planning
• Root canal assessments
• Impacted tooth localization
• TMJ evaluation
• Orthodontic and airway analysis
• Bone grafting and sinus lift planning
• Diagnosing cysts, tumors, or abnormalities

By seeing your anatomy in cross-section, we can avoid surprises, reduce risk, and customize every procedure to your unique structure.

What to Expect During a Cone Beam Scan

Your scan will take place right in our Memorial-area office and typically lasts under a minute. The process is fast, quiet, and non-invasive.

Here’s how it works:

• You’ll sit or stand still while the cone beam unit rotates around your head.
• The scanner captures hundreds of images from multiple angles.
• These images are assembled into a high-resolution 3D model.
• Dr. Kevin Kaviani or Dr. Afshan Kaviani will review the results with you in real time, explaining any findings and next steps.

There is no need for uncomfortable bite trays or film. Most patients find the experience quick and stress-free.

Why We Use CBCT at Kaviani Modern Dentistry

As a fully digital, forward-thinking practice, we believe the best outcomes start with the most accurate information. Our 3D cone beam scanner is used for more than just diagnostics—it plays a central role in treatment planning for:

• Computer-guided dental implants
• Airway-focused dentistry and sleep apnea evaluations
• TMJ and neuromuscular assessments
• Smile design and cosmetic procedures

By visualizing structures that were once hidden, we provide a more comprehensive level of care that leads to better results, fewer complications, and more predictable healing.

Safety and Radiation Considerations

Cone beam scans use a focused, low-dose beam of radiation that is significantly less than traditional medical CT scans. We follow strict safety protocols to minimize exposure, and only recommend CBCT when it adds meaningful value to your care.

If you have concerns about radiation or medical conditions, our team will review everything with you before proceeding.
