What Is Cone-Beam CT?
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a specialized imaging technique used to capture detailed 3D images of the structures within your mouth and jaw. This technology provides a more accurate view compared to traditional 2D X-rays, allowing our team at Purchase Endodontics to plan treatments with precision. Dr. Scott D. Seitzinger and Dr. Daniela K. Shields utilize this advanced tool to improve diagnosis and ensure effective treatment outcomes for patients in Paducah, KY. With cone-beam CT, we can assess bone structure, detect abnormalities, and plan procedures such as root canals or implants with greater confidence. Contact Purchase Endodontics today to learn how CBCT imaging can help support your treatment plan and overall oral health.
What Does A Cone-Beam CT Scan Show?
Cone-beam CT scans show critical details about your oral health, including bone density, tooth alignment, and areas of infection or damage, allowing our team at Purchase Endodontics to determine the most effective treatment for your needs. The scanning process is quick and noninvasive. We'll have you sit comfortably while our practice's specialized 3D scanner rotates around your head to capture detailed images. The process is painless, typically taking only a few minutes, with no need for incisions or injections. Once the scan is complete, the images are sent to a computer for analysis. Dr. Seitzinger or Dr. Shields will review these images to assess your teeth, bone structure, and surrounding tissues. From there, they will discuss treatment options to restore the health and appearance of your smile.
What Are the Benefits of Cone-Beam CT?
Cone-beam CT provides a clearer, more accurate view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. This 3D imaging helps detect issues that traditional X-rays may miss, allowing for more precise treatment planning. By reducing the need for repeat imaging and invasive procedures, cone-beam CT enhances your treatment experience, offering:
- A faster and more efficient treatment process
- Fewer follow-up visits or repeat imaging sessions
- Less discomfort during diagnostic and treatment planning stages
- Improved overall treatment outcomes due to more precise planning
- A more comfortable and streamlined patient experience

Dr. Seitzinger did a root canal for me and was excellent! Kind, professional and informative about the procedure. His staff was also very friendly and professional as well! Highly recommend! Painfree and gentle!
Very quick procedure. As good as an experience you could ask for, given the situation. Staff was very pleasant and Dr. Shields and her assistant were very professional and personable. I would highly recommend them.
Literally the nicest staff ever, I appreciate you all so much. I was so worried after past experiences and this was such a lovely experience. I cannot thank you all enough.
