Implant Planning with Cone Beam in New York City
Plan dental implant placement with advanced 3D imaging for precise, predictable results and optimized bone support.

Precise, Predictable Dental Implant Placement Backed by 3D Imaging
Successful dental implant treatment starts with precise planning. At Teeth By Keith, we use Cone Beam 3D Imaging in NYC to plan every implant case with unmatched accuracy and safety. This technology allows Dr. Keith to visualize the anatomy of your teeth, bone, and nerves, ensuring optimal implant placement, function, and long-term success.
With over 40 years of clinical experience and nearly two decades of expertise in laser and implantdentistry, Dr. Keith combines experience with innovation to deliver truly personalized care.
What Is Cone Beam Implant Planning?
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced 3D imaging system that captures highly detailed images of your jawbone, surrounding structures, and tooth positions. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT shows a full 360-degree view of:
- Bone density and volume
- Nerve pathways
- Sinus proximity
- Root structure
- Jaw symmetry and shape
This data allows Dr. Keith to safely plan implant placement, choose the ideal size and angle, and reduce the risk of complications — all while preserving natural anatomy.
Explore how this integrates with our full Dental Implant process to restore missing teeth with strength and precision.
Why Cone Beam Planning Is Essential for Dental Implants
A dental implant is a surgical procedure. Without 3D planning, it’s difficult to account for vital structures like nerves or low-density bone. With Cone Beam technology, we can:
- Determine whether you’re a candidate for implants
- Identify the ideal location and angle for the implant
- Avoid nerve damage or sinus complications
- Reduce surgical time and post-operative discomfort
- Improve the fit and aesthetics of the final restoration
This allows us to restore your smile with more predictable, comfortable outcomes, especially in more complex or multi-implant cases.
Who Needs Cone Beam Implant Planning?
We use Cone Beam imaging for nearly all implant candidates, especially if you:
- Are missing multiple teeth
- Need a bridge supported by implants
- Have reduced bone density or had bone loss
- Are you replacing teeth near nerves or sinus cavities
- Have had failed implants in the past
- Want to explore full-arch or same-day solutions
If you’re new to our practice, your scan will be performed during your comprehensive dental exam to establish a full treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cone Beam imaging safe?
Yes. Cone Beam imaging uses a low dose of radiation and is safer than medical CT scans. The scan is quick, painless, and provides unmatched diagnostic detail.
Do I need Cone Beam imaging for every implant?
For optimal results, yes. It helps ensure precise placement, reduces risk, and improves long-term outcomes. It’s especially important near nerves or sinuses.
Is Cone Beam covered by insurance?
Some dental plans do cover Cone Beam scans when part of implant treatment. We’ll help you check your coverage before your appointment.
What if I had a regular X-ray already?
Standard X-rays show 2D views only. A Cone Beam scan provides full 3D details of your bone, which are necessary for implant placement planning.
What comes after Cone Beam planning?
Dr. Keith will review your results and guide you through the implant surgery and restoration process, often ending with a porcelain crown or bridge.
