Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
We use dental cone beam CT imaging (CBCT) to measure the quantity and quality of bone before implant placement, find complex infections for root canals, and plan Invisalign treatment. Modern CBCTs combine ultra-low-dose radiographic imaging with state-of-the-art 3-D diagnostics to show us the relationships between bones, teeth, nerves, tissue, and airways to help us develop a highly accurate plan for treatment.
We use the term "cone beam" because digital X-rays are projected in a carefully controlled cone-shaped beam. A rotating arm moves the imaging system in a complete circle around your head. All you have to do is stand and let the scanner do the work.
CBCT imaging fits your busy schedule because it’s fast, easy, and totally painless. The process takes a minute or less to complete and provides us with highly accurate views of oral and facial bone structure.
Nomad Handheld X-Ray Unit
The Nomad handheld x-ray unit allows us to take dental x-rays in any room of the office and eliminates many of the frustrations of taking traditional x-rays. The design of the Nomad makes it possible for us to take the x-ray when you’re ready, not when the machine is ready. It is also faster because we can take multiple x-rays without ever leaving the room.
The process of taking the x-ray is highly accurate because, when we are in the room with you, we can ensure the digital sensor is ideally positioned to obtain an accurate image the first time.
The portability also allows us to quickly take x-rays for patients who have special needs or who use a wheelchair.
Intraoral Scanner
At Temple Dental Trails, we use state-of-the-art intraoral scanning technology to enhance both the accuracy of your care and your overall experience.
This advanced scanner captures high-resolution, 3D images of your teeth and gums in real time, giving us the precision needed for procedures like Invisalign®, crowns, bridges, and implants. It allows us to plan treatments with greater accuracy, leading to better-fitting restorations, more predictable outcomes, and faster turnaround times.
But it’s not just about precision—it’s about education. The scanner allows you to see what we see, making it easier to understand your oral health and feel confident in the care you're receiving. We can zoom in on problem areas, track changes over time, and walk you through every step of your treatment plan.
The result? A more comfortable experience, clearer communication, and more personalized care—every time.
