3D Cone Beam Imaging in Houston Heights
3D cone beam imaging (CBCT) gives Dr. Rouhani a high‑definition, 3D view of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and bone structure in a single, comfortable scan. Unlike traditional 2D X‑rays, cone beam technology captures an ultra‑detailed, three‑dimensional map of your mouth, allowing for exceptionally precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
At Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights, we use 3D cone beam imaging to plan advanced treatments such as dental implants, root canals, extractions, and full‑arch restorations with confidence. The scan is quick, noninvasive, and uses a focused cone of X‑ray energy to minimize exposure while maximizing clarity — so your care is safer, smarter, and more predictable from the start.

How 3D Cone Beam Imaging Works
What cone beam imaging is used for
3D cone beam imaging at Clio Dental Studio in Houston Heights gives a detailed three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaw, nerves, sinuses and bone in a single, quick scan. Dr. Sanaz Rouhani, DDS, FAGD, uses cone beam CT (CBCT) to plan implants, root canals, extractions and full-arch restorations with precision, right here in the office.
Implant planning
Shows bone density and the exact position for each implant before surgery. See dental implants.
Root canals
Locates canals and complex root shapes. See root canal treatment.
Wisdom teeth
Maps each tooth, its roots and the nearby nerve. See wisdom teeth removal.
Orthodontics
Maps teeth and jaw alignment for Invisalign planning.
3D cone beam vs. standard 2D X-rays
Because it gives more information, a cone beam scan is used when 3D detail changes the plan, not at every visit.
What to expect
Positioning
You stand or sit comfortably while your head is gently positioned.
The scan
The scanner rotates around your head in under 20 seconds. It is quiet and painless.

Cone beam imaging questions, answered
What is a cone beam CT scan?
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a quick scan that creates a 3D model of your teeth, jaw, nerves, sinuses and bone, instead of the flat image of a standard X-ray.
Is a cone beam scan safe?
Yes. It uses a focused, low-dose beam with far less radiation than a medical CT, and it is only used when 3D detail is needed.
How long does the scan take?
The scanner rotates around your head in under 20 seconds. It is quiet and painless.
When is a cone beam scan needed?
Typically for implant planning, complex root canals, wisdom tooth removal, full-arch restorations, and some orthodontic, jaw joint or airway evaluations.
Do I need to go to an imaging center?
No. The scan is done in the office, so there is no referral and no extra trip.
Can I see my scan?
Yes. Dr. Rouhani reviews the 3D images with you and explains how they guide your treatment.
