Cone Beam CT Scan available in West Hempstead

Feeling unsure about hidden dental issues or anxious about beginning orthodontic care? Incomplete imaging can lead to delays or unexpected problems during treatment. At Eisenberger & Bindiger Orthodontics, we use CBCT dental scans to provide clear, detailed 3D images so you can feel confident about your treatment choices.

Our advanced i‑CAT 3D imaging system uncovers what traditional X‑rays miss. It takes just seconds, is painless, and uses very low radiation. Let us guide you through why this matters for your smile journey in West Hempstead.

What Is CBCT and How Does It Work?

A cone beam computed tomography scan is a special type of X‑ray that captures a full 3D image of teeth, jaw bones, nerves, and airway in one quick pass. Our i‑CAT CBCT system rotates around your head, capturing multiple images in under 10 seconds. These are then combined into highly detailed 3D visuals. It shows details that flat 2D X‑rays cannot: hidden root angles, impacted teeth, jaw alignment, and airway size.

Why Choose i‑CAT CBCT Over Traditional X‑Rays?

More detail in 3D : i‑CAT imaging reveals root positions, unerupted teeth, jaw joints, and airway volume in three dimensions.
Lower radiation than medical CT : It uses far less radiation than a medical CT scan and often less than a full set of 2D X‑rays.
Fast and comfortable : You stay comfortably seated while the scan is performed.
Better planning and safer care : With these detailed CBCT images, orthodontic treatment planning is safer and more precise.

How CBCT Helps Plan Safer, More Accurate Treatments

Our i‑CAT CBCT imaging helps the orthodontists at Eisenberger & Bindiger plan more precise treatments—whether for braces, Invisalign, jaw alignment, or evaluating impacted teeth. Here are key uses:

Braces and Invisalign planning

3D detail helps align roots and predict tooth movement without surprises.

Impacted teeth

Locates ones hidden in bone or near nerves so surgery or exposure is safer.

Jaw alignment and TMJ

Visualizes joint shape and bite alignment to guide treatment.

Airway evaluation

Helps assess for sleep‑related issues by checking airway volume and shape.

These scans show hidden details that traditional X‑rays might miss. That leads to treatment that fits your anatomy and reduces risk.

What to Expect During Your
CBCT Scan

No preparation needed. Simply arrive wearing comfortable clothing. You may remove jewelry, glasses, or hearing aids.
Seat and remain still. The i‑CAT rotates around your head and captures multiple images in under ten seconds.
Quick review. The scan is painless and you walk out ready to continue your day.
Low radiation exposure. It is lower than many standard panoramic or cephalometric X‑rays and much lower than medical CT scans.

Why It Matters for Orthodontics in West Hempstead

At Eisenberger & Bindiger Orthodontics in West Hempstead, every smile is unique. Using i‑CAT CBCT imaging means:

Personalized care that maps your bones, nerves, jaws, and airway in exact detail.
Early detection of issues like supernumerary teeth or root alignment problems.
Improved safety around sensitive structures like sinus cavities or nerve canals.
Peace of mind knowing treatment is built on full 3D anatomy.

Real Advantages You Can Feel

No guesswork. When root positions or impacted tooth locations are clear, treatment plans are more reliable.
Treatments like braces, Invisalign®, or jaw alignment become more efficient with less adjustment.
Fewer surprises. Less chance of last‑minute changes because hidden issues were unseen in flat X‑rays.
Every case is documented with precision. Those images can be shared with other specialists or your dentist when coordinated care is needed.

Is CBCT Dental Scan Safe?

Yes. CBCT scans use levels of radiation similar to spending a few days in the sun. It is much less than a medical CT. The i‑CAT system uses modern protocols to keep each patient’s exposure as low as possible. There is no discomfort or long wait times. For most people it is safer than alternatives and delivers far more diagnostic value.

Cost and Coverage

The typical cone beam CT scan cost in orthodontic settings ranges from $200 to $700, depending on scan size and insurance coverage. At Eisenberger & Bindiger Orthodontics, we aim to keep imaging affordable. The scan is a one-time fee, recommended only when necessary, and helps ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Staff can help confirm coverage with your insurance provider.

Why Eisenberger & Bindiger Orthodontics Stands Out

Use of i‑CAT 3D imaging allows us to view your teeth, roots, jawbones, airway, and TMJ in three dimensions.
Better planning means safer treatment for braces, Invisalign®, jaw issues, extractions, and sleep‑apnea‑related care.
Comfortable experience in an open seated setting.
Expert orthodontists use the scans to avoid surprises and optimize results.
We serve West Hempstead families with care that values safety, clarity, and long‑term health.
