3D CBCT Imaging in Westchester, NY
Precise Imaging for Accurate Implant Planning
Would you trust a surgeon operating without seeing what's inside? Neither would Dr. Krinick. That's why every implant case at Westchester Dental Implant Institute includes advanced 3D CBCT imaging as part of your treatment planning. This technology provides detailed, three-dimensional views of your jawbone, nerves, sinuses, and teeth giving Dr. Krinick the complete picture he needs to plan your implants with pinpoint precision. No guesswork. No surprises. Just accurate planning for predictable results.
What Is a 3D CBCT Scan?
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is an advanced imaging technology that captures detailed 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and soft tissues. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays that show flat images, CBCT provides a complete three-dimensional view that can be rotated, sliced, and examined from any angle. Dr. Krinick uses these detailed scans to see exactly what he's working with before making a single incision ensuring your implant placement is planned to the millimeter.
3D Visualization
See your entire jaw anatomy in three dimensions, not flat 2D images.
Pinpoint Accuracy
Measure bone density, height, and width to the millimeter for precise implant planning.
Safer Surgery
Identify nerve locations and sinus boundaries before surgery to avoid complications.
Better Outcomes
Precise planning leads to predictable results and higher implant success rates.
Why 3D Imaging Is Essential for Your Implants
Implant placement isn't just about putting a post in bone it's about placing it in exactly the right position, at exactly the right angle, while avoiding critical structures. Dr. Krinick's expertise in interpreting 3D imaging is what transforms a scan into a successful surgical plan.
Expert Analysis – With 45+ years of experience, Dr. Krinick knows exactly what to look for in your 3D scan and how to translate that into a precise surgical plan.
Identifies Hidden Issues – 3D imaging reveals bone deficiencies, infections, nerve locations, and sinus positions that 2D X-rays simply can't show.
Custom Treatment Planning – Your scan allows Dr. Krinick to plan every detail of your procedure before you even sit in the chair, reducing surgical time and improving outcomes.

What Your 3D Scan Shows Dr. Krinick
A single CBCT scan provides comprehensive information that guides every aspect of your implant treatment:
Bone Quantity & Quality – Exact measurements of bone height, width, and density to determine if you're ready for implants or need preparation like bone grafting.
Nerve Locations – Precise mapping of the inferior alveolar nerve and other critical structures to ensure safe implant placement.
Sinus Boundaries – Clear visualization of sinus position to determine if a sinus lift is needed for upper jaw implants.
Existing Teeth & Roots – Detailed view of remaining teeth and their root positions to plan implant placement around them.
