High-resolution 3D imaging technology that enables precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and implant placement.

Modern Diagnostic Precision for Safer, Smarter Dental Care
At Teeth By Keith, your treatment begins with clarity, and that starts with better imaging. Our in-house Cone Beam 3D Imaging in NYC provides ultra-precise views of your teeth, jaw, nerves, sinuses, and bone, all in one quick, comfortable scan.
Unlike traditional X-rays, Cone Beam technology offers a full 360-degree view of your oral structures, enabling Dr. Keith R. Marshall, DDS, to diagnose and plan with unmatched accuracy. Whether you’re considering dental implants, need a complex root canal, or just want the most thorough comprehensive dental exam available, this is where precision begins.
What Is Cone Beam Imaging?
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a 3D dental imaging technique that rotates around your head to create detailed images of:
- Tooth roots and surrounding bone
- Nerve canals and sinus anatomy
- Jaw alignment and TMJ structure
- Hidden infections, cysts, or decay
- Bone density and implant readiness
This data allows us to diagnose complex conditions, plan safe surgical procedures, and reduce guesswork, especially for patients needing implant planning or advanced laser dentistry.
Why We Use Cone Beam Technology at Teeth By Keith
Our practice philosophy combines modern science with patient-first care. Cone Beam allows us to:
- Eliminate the need for off-site imaging referrals
- Provide faster, more accurate diagnoses
- Visualize critical structures like nerves and roots
- Plan procedures like LANAP® and laser-assisted root canals
- Reduce surgical risks and complications
- Improve comfort and outcomes with smarter planning

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Cone Beam and a regular X-ray?
Cone Beam scans provide 3D, full-volume images, while traditional X-rays only offer 2D views. This allows for better diagnosis, planning, and safety.
Is Cone Beam imaging safe?
Yes. It uses a low dose of radiation and is faster than medical CT scans. It’s considered safe for most patients and often avoids the need for exploratory surgery.
Does my insurance cover CBCT?
Many plans cover Cone Beam scans when they’re part of implant placement, root canals, or surgical planning. Our team will verify coverage for you.
Do I need a referral for a Cone Beam scan?
No. Our in-house system means you get imaging and care in one place, without needing to travel or delay treatment.
