Cone Beam 3D Imaging
Cone Beam 3D Imaging is an advanced diagnostic technology that provides detailed three-dimensional images of the bones, teeth, and tissues of the face and jaw. At the South Florida Institute of Oral Surgery (SFIOS), we utilize this innovative tool to plan precise treatments, including dental implants, complex extractions, and corrective surgeries. The images generated by Cone Beam are clearer and more comprehensive than those produced by traditional X-rays, enabling our surgeons to make more informed and personalized decisions for each patient. This approach ensures safer, more efficient, and predictable outcomes.
