3D IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

Our CBCT 3D Cone Beam Scanner

Cone beam computed tomography captures a full three-dimensional image of your teeth, jaw, sinuses, and nerve pathways in a single rotation around your head. Instead of the flat, two-dimensional picture a standard X-ray produces, the CBCT gives Dr. Havens a complete volumetric view that can be rotated, sliced, and measured from every angle.

This matters most for procedures where precision has real consequences, such as planning a dental implant near a nerve, evaluating impacted wisdom teeth before extraction, diagnosing the cause of chronic jaw pain, or mapping the internal anatomy of a tooth before a complex root canal.

  • Precise implant planning: exact measurements of bone density, width, and nerve location before surgery is ever scheduled.
  • Complete 3D visualization: a full view of the jaw, sinuses, and airway, useful for diagnosing issues that two-dimensional X-rays can miss entirely.
  • Fewer surprises during treatment: because the anatomy is mapped in advance, procedures tend to move more predictably and efficiently.

CHAIRSIDE X-RAY TECHNOLOGY

The Nomad Handheld X-Ray System

The Nomad is a portable, hand-held X-ray unit that our team uses chairside instead of walking you to a separate room with a fixed wall-mounted machine. Because the device comes to you, we can take a quick image during a cleaning, an exam, or a same-day emergency visit without interrupting the flow of your appointment.

It is built with backscatter shielding and a design that protects both you and our team while still producing a clear, diagnostic-quality digital image that appears on screen within seconds.

  • Chairside imaging: no separate room or repositioning required, which is especially helpful for anxious patients and young children.
  • Instant digital results: images display on a monitor right away so we can review findings with you in real time.
  • Reduced radiation dose: digital sensors capture a usable image with a fraction of the exposure older film methods required.
