See what traditional scans can’t — heal with clarity and confidence.
At Groton Wellness, we combine state-of-the-art CBCT scans with biologically guided diagnostics and surgical planning. Guided by Professor Shahram Ghanaati and his team, we use advanced 3D visualization (Visiogenics) to reveal hidden issues and map precise, holistic treatment plans that support natural healing and better outcomes.
A CBCT scan (Cone-Beam Computed Tomography) is a specialized 3D dental X-ray. Unlike flat 2D X-rays, CBCT provides an in-depth, 360° view of your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and nerve pathways. It’s quick, comfortable, and uses low radiation to capture detailed images for safer, more predictable treatment.
You’ll see what we see — from a curved root near a sinus to a hidden jawbone infection. Viewing your anatomy in 3D clarifies your diagnosis and options, strengthening confidence in each step.
It also transforms your role. With CBCT 3D imaging, you’re an informed partner. You can clearly see bone loss, hidden infections, impacted teeth, or sinus proximity. This transparency builds trust and peace of mind.
“The scan showed cavitations that aligned with my symptoms. With expert oversight, I finally felt supported and confident the treatment plan addressed the true state of my jaw.”
— Patient feedback
Traditional diagnostics can miss subtle issues. Biologic dental diagnostics with 3D CBCT is designed to catch what others overlook — especially conditions that can affect your overall health. A key example is jaw cavitations, pockets of chronically inflamed or non-healed bone sometimes left after extractions. These hidden voids can harbor bacteria and toxins that may contribute to fatigue, systemic inflammation, or illness. With CBCT and biologic visualization protocols, we identify these stealth pathologies, understand their potential whole-body impact, and plan treatment that removes infection while promoting regeneration.
We collaborate with Professor Dr. Shahram Ghanaati, MD, DMD, PhD — a world-renowned oral and maxillofacial surgeon and researcher in biological dentistry. Through his Frankfurt-based team (Visiogenics), select cases receive CBCT-based 3D visualizations and reports that color-code tissues, highlight areas of concern, and map critical anatomy for safer, minimally invasive treatment. Our clinicians remain your primary providers while benefiting from this added layer of expertise.
With this ultra-detailed 3D map, our surgeons plan exactly where to clean infection, how much bone regeneration is needed, and the safest pathway for extractions and implants — dramatically reducing intra-operative surprises.
You’ll stand or sit still for ~10–20 seconds while the scanner rotates. It’s open-concept and painless. We often review the initial CBCT views with you right away.
A clear, step-by-step path before treatment begins.
Once you’re comfortable with the plan, we coordinate appointments and provide simple pre-op instructions. Most patients return to normal activities quickly, depending on the procedure.
Your Biologic CBCT Report is more than just an image—it’s a comprehensive diagnostic and planning tool that allows us to:
For many patients—especially those with persistent, unexplained health symptoms—this imaging has been life-changing. It’s often the first time they’ve seen clear evidence of what’s been affecting their health, opening the door to a targeted treatment plan that works.
Yes. CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) uses a focused cone-shaped beam, delivering significantly less radiation than traditional CT scans. At Groton Wellness, we follow strict safety protocols to keep exposure as low as reasonably achievable while still capturing the precise detail needed for your treatment plan.
The scan itself typically takes less than a minute. The entire appointment, including positioning and preparation, usually takes 10–15 minutes. You’ll be able to resume normal activities right away.
Our team sends your scan to a network of experts—including an engineer, radiologist, and surgeon—for a comprehensive review. You’ll typically receive your detailed findings and surgical plan within a few days, and we’ll go over everything together during your follow-up consultation.
Unlike 2D X-rays, CBCT produces a high-resolution, 3D view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This allows us to detect hidden infections, bone loss, cavitations, and other issues that might be missed with traditional imaging—leading to more accurate diagnoses and safer, more effective treatment plans.
CBCT provides a 360° 3D view to evaluate bone density and volume, nerve pathways, sinus anatomy, impacted teeth, cysts, and hidden jawbone infections (cavitations) that may not be visible on traditional X-rays.
Advanced visualization transforms your scan into an interactive 3D model. We virtually plan procedure details (like implant position) in advance and use biologic protocols (PRF, ozone, guided healing) to promote faster, safer recovery.
See your dental health in 3D, understand every recommendation, and move forward confidently with a plan tailored to your biology.
