Dental Implants

3D CBCT Imaging

A 3D scan lets us plan implant placement carefully, checking bone density, the position of nerves and sinuses, and the path of each implant before treatment.

Why 3D imaging matters

A traditional 2D dental X-ray shows teeth and bone from one angle. A 3D cone-beam scan shows your jaw from every angle, so the implant plan can account for everything underneath the surface. It is how implant cases stay predictable.

Quick and comfortable

The scan takes only a few seconds. There is no goop, no probing, and the radiation dose is low. The image is then used to map your implant placement with precision.

A clearer conversation

Seeing the scan together makes it easier to talk through what your case looks like, the bone, the anatomy, and the plan, in plain language.

Why patients choose Dr. Tyler Youn, DDS for their implants

Implant dentistry rewards precision, planning, and a meticulous eye for long-term stability, three things Dr. Youn has built his training and his research career around.

  • BioHorizons system

    An established, evidence-based titanium implant platform known for predictable osseointegration and long-term screw joint stability.

  • National research award

    Dr. Youn earned the Academy of General Dentistry's national first-place research award for his work on implant screw tightening techniques and screw joint stability, a study directly relevant to long-term implant outcomes.

  • Hospital-based surgical training

    Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery externships at Broward Health Medical Center, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, and Harborview Medical Center.

  • Digital treatment planning

    CBCT 3D imaging guides every implant case so the implant is placed precisely where bone, soft tissue, and your existing bite call for it.

Questions we hear

Why is CBCT needed for implants?+
Because a flat 2D X-ray cannot show bone width, sinus position, or the exact path of the lower jaw nerve. CBCT shows all of that in 3D, which is what makes precise, predictable, conservative implant placement possible.
Is it safe?+
Yes. Dental CBCT uses a fraction of the radiation of a medical CT scan, comparable to about a day or two of natural background radiation. It is the standard of care for any implant case in modern dentistry.
How long does the scan take?+
About 20 seconds in the chair. You sit still while a small arm rotates around your head once. There is no enclosed tube, no contrast dye, and no special prep.
Is CBCT used for anything besides implants?+
Yes. Diagnosing complex pain, evaluating root canals, planning surgical extractions of impacted wisdom teeth, and assessing the jaw joint. We use it whenever a 3D view will lead to better, more conservative care.
