Digital X-Rays & 3D Imaging
Advanced Diagnostics for Better Dental Care
At Fox Chapel Advanced Dental Care, we invest in the latest diagnostic technology to provide the highest standard of care. Our digital X-rays and 3D imaging (cone beam CT scans) offer significant advantages over traditional X-rays, delivering faster, safer, and more accurate results.
Digital X-Rays
Unlike traditional film-based X-rays, digital X-rays use electronic sensors to capture images instantly, eliminating the need for film development and reducing radiation exposure by up to 90%. This means a safer experience for our patients and immediate access to crystal-clear images that can be enlarged and enhanced for better diagnosis. Digital X-rays also allow for easy storage, sharing, and comparison over time, making it simpler to monitor changes in your dental health.
3D Cone Beam Imaging
Our 3D cone beam imaging system captures detailed, three-dimensional views of your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and surrounding structures. This level of detail goes far beyond what standard two-dimensional X-rays can show. It’s especially useful for procedures like dental implants, root canals, orthodontic planning, and diagnosing TMJ disorders. With 3D imaging, we can visualize bone density, nerve pathways, and exact tooth positioning—enabling precise treatment planning with fewer complications and better outcomes.
By using these advanced imaging technologies, we ensure early detection, accurate diagnosis, and more personalized, effective care—all while keeping your safety and comfort a top priority.

Dental imaging took a major leap forward at the beginning of the new millennium with a three-dimensional technology known as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The name comes from the cone-shaped beam of x-rays the CBCT machine projects as it rotates around a person's head, taking multiple images that are compiled into a 3-D picture by a computer. Find out what CBCT can reveal and how it helps a doctor to make a highly informed diagnosis and choice of treatment... Read Article
