At BL Dental Miami, we believe that precise diagnosis is the foundation of successful treatment. That is why our office uses Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a modern 3D imaging technology that allows us to evaluate your teeth, jaw, airway, and surrounding facial structures with exceptional accuracy.
Unlike traditional dental X-rays that provide flat, two-dimensional images, CBCT creates detailed three-dimensional views of your oral anatomy. This advanced imaging helps our team detect concerns earlier, plan treatments more carefully, and deliver safer, more predictable results tailored specifically to you.
Standard dental X-rays provide valuable information, but they may not always show the full picture. CBCT technology allows us to view your oral structures from multiple angles, helping us identify concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
CBCT imaging is especially helpful when planning complex or advanced dental procedures because it allows us to evaluate bone structure, nerve positioning, and anatomical details with remarkable precision.
• Planning and placing dental implants with greater accuracy
• Evaluating impacted or unerupted teeth
• Diagnosing complex root canal conditions
• Detecting hidden infections, fractures, or bone loss
• Evaluating jaw joint (TMJ) concerns
• Supporting surgical and restorative treatment planning
CBCT technology also plays an important role in evaluating airway health. Airway function is closely connected to breathing patterns, sleep quality, jaw development, and overall wellness.
Using CBCT imaging, we can:
Many patients are surprised to learn how airway health can influence long-term dental comfort and overall health. CBCT imaging allows us to take a more complete and preventive approach to care.
It is completely normal for patients to have questions about radiation exposure. At BL Dental Miami, patient safety is always our top priority.
CBCT imaging uses focused, targeted technology that allows us to capture detailed images only when they provide meaningful diagnostic value. Modern CBCT systems are designed to reduce radiation exposure while still providing highly accurate imaging.
CBCT scans typically expose patients to radiation levels that are comparable to or slightly higher than some traditional dental imaging, depending on the type of scan and area being evaluated. However, CBCT radiation exposure is significantly lower than traditional hospital medical CT scans.
Our office follows nationally recognized safety recommendations and only recommends CBCT imaging when it improves diagnosis or treatment planning.
In many cases, CBCT imaging actually helps reduce treatment risks by allowing us to plan procedures more precisely and avoid complications.
CBCT scans are quick, simple, and comfortable for patients.

At BL Dental Miami, we utilize the PREXION EXCELSIOR MAX (LFOV) Scanner, manufactured by PreXion, a global leader in advanced dental imaging technology. This high-performance CBCT system allows our team to capture exceptionally detailed large field-of-view (LFOV) 3D scans, helping us evaluate complex dental and airway structures with remarkable clarity.
The PREXION EXCELSIOR MAX provides ultra-high resolution imaging that supports precise diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning. With its large imaging capabilities, this system allows us to evaluate multiple anatomical areas in a single scan, which can be especially beneficial for implant planning, full-mouth rehabilitation, orthodontic evaluation, and airway analysis.
This advanced imaging technology is supplied and supported by All Practice Solutions, a trusted provider of modern dental equipment and technology solutions. Their commitment to delivering high-quality dental innovations helps ensure that our practice is equipped with reliable and cutting-edge imaging systems.
By integrating this advanced CBCT scanner into our diagnostic process, we are able to provide:
• High-resolution 3D imaging for precise treatment planning
• Expanded imaging capabilities for full-arch and airway evaluation
• Improved visualization of bone structure, nerves, and sinuses
• Enhanced accuracy for dental implant placement and surgical procedures
• More efficient and comfortable scanning experience for patients
Our investment in advanced CBCT technology reflects our commitment to providing modern, safe, and highly precise dental care for our Miami patients.
If you are considering dental implants, airway evaluation, or advanced restorative treatment, CBCT imaging may be an important part of your care. Contact BL Dental Miami today to schedule your consultation and learn more about how advanced imaging can support your oral health.
1. Is CBCT different from regular dental X-rays?
Yes. Traditional X-rays provide two-dimensional images, while CBCT produces detailed 3D images that allow dentists to evaluate teeth, bone, nerves, and airway structures more thoroughly.
2. Is CBCT radiation safe?
CBCT imaging uses controlled, low-dose radiation and follows strict safety standards. Scans are only recommended when the diagnostic benefits outweigh potential exposure.
3. How long does a CBCT scan take?
Most CBCT scans are completed in less than one minute.
4. Does a CBCT scan hurt?
No. CBCT imaging is completely painless and non-invasive.
5. Will I need CBCT imaging at every visit?
No. CBCT scans are recommended only when they provide important information that supports diagnosis or treatment planning.
