Technology
Modern imaging tools that help our Blacklick team diagnose accurately, plan treatment confidently, and keep your visit comfortable.
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.
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.
