3D X-Rays and CBCT in Salt Lake City, Utah

At Legacy Dental in Salt Lake City, we’re committed to combining compassionate care with the most advanced technology in modern dentistry. One of the most significant advancements enhancing patient care today is 3D dental imaging—specifically, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This powerful tool allows us to diagnose, plan, and treat with greater precision, safety, and efficiency than ever before.

Whether you're considering dental implants, dealing with TMJ issues, or need complex root canal therapy, 3D X-rays and CBCT imaging give us a complete and detailed view of your dental anatomy—helping us provide the highest standard of care possible.

What Are 3D X-Rays and CBCT?

Traditional dental X-rays offer two-dimensional views of the teeth and jaw, which can be limiting when diagnosing complex conditions. 3D X-rays, also known as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), create a full 3D model of the teeth, bones, nerves, and soft tissue structures in a single scan.

CBCT technology rotates around your head to capture hundreds of detailed images in seconds, which are then reconstructed into a three-dimensional model. This allows our dentists to view your oral structures from every angle—improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.

How the CBCT Process Works?

Getting a CBCT scan at Legacy Dental is simple, fast, and completely non-invasive. The scan typically takes less than a minute and requires no special preparation. You’ll be asked to stand or sit still while the CBCT unit rotates around your head. The process is quick and painless, making it a stress-free experience for patients of all ages.

After your scan, our dental team will review the high-resolution 3D images with you and explain any findings or treatment recommendations. This not only helps you better understand your oral health but also empowers you to make more informed decisions.

Common Uses for 3D X-Rays in Dentistry

3D imaging has become an essential tool in many areas of dental care. At Legacy Dental, we use CBCT scans for:

Dental Implant Planning

Wisdom Tooth Evaluation

Impacted wisdom teeth can be challenging to remove, especially if they’re close to nerves or sinuses. 3D X-rays give a clearer view of their position, making surgical planning safer and more predictable.

TMJ and Jaw Disorders

For patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, 3D imaging allows us to assess the joint space and surrounding bone structures in detail—helping us diagnose the root cause of jaw pain and dysfunction.

Root Canal Therapy (Endodontics)

CBCT imaging helps detect tiny root canals, hidden infections, and complex root structures that standard X-rays might miss. This ensures greater success for root canal procedures.

Orthodontic Planning

Orthodontic treatments require precise measurements of the jaw, teeth, and bite alignment. 3D X-rays offer comprehensive insight that supports accurate orthodontic planning and monitoring.

Sinus Assessment

CBCT scans also capture the sinus cavities, which can be essential when diagnosing sinus-related pain or when planning for upper jaw implants or sinus lifts.

Oral Pathology & Lesion Detection

3D imaging can reveal abnormal growths, cysts, or tumors in the jaw that might otherwise go undetected on a standard X-ray.

Is CBCT Safe?

Yes, CBCT is considered a safe imaging technique. Although it uses more radiation than a traditional two-dimensional X-ray, it delivers significantly less radiation than a hospital-based CT scan. At Legacy Dental, we follow the ALARA principle—"As Low As Reasonably Achievable"—to ensure your exposure is minimized while still capturing the diagnostic detail we need.

We use 3D imaging only when it offers a clear clinical benefit, and we take every precaution to safeguard your health. If you have concerns about radiation exposure, our team is happy to discuss them with you.

Advanced Technology, Personalized Care

At Legacy Dental, we don’t just adopt new technology for the sake of being modern—we do it to better serve our patients. Our investment in 3D X-rays and CBCT reflects our dedication to high-quality, individualized care. We use this technology to enhance our services while always focusing on your comfort and overall well-being.

By combining cutting-edge diagnostic tools with personalized treatment plans, we’re able to provide efficient, effective, and patient-centered dental care that’s grounded in trust and transparency.

I’ve had a fairly intense dental phobia for most of my life, that combined with years of addiction and severe depression really took a toll on my mouth and on my smile. Years ago I started the process of getting dentures with a different dentist and I had such a bad experience that I never wanted to set foot in another dental office again. Then last year when my remaining teeth started to fail, I reached out to Legacy Dental after seeing an add. At my first appointment Dr. H and his staff immediately put me at ease, there was no judgment and it was clear that they knew what they were doing. Throughout the entire process they were professional and they were friendly, and they took really good care of me.Now here I am seven months later and I have my smile back, for the first time that I can remember I can smile confidently, and I can eat normally. And I owe it all to Legacy dental and the wonderful care that they provided.

Dr Campbell was recommended by my dentist in St Louis for being very good with gold restorations. I've been his patient now for 15 years and have appreciated his friendliness, clear communication, excellent dental work, and great staff. I strongly recommend him.

I really enjoyed my experience here. From the dental assistants, to the hygienist, to Dr. Campbell himself. They did a great job on my teeth cleaning/exam and I really appreciated that Dr. Campbell took the time to go over everything with me thoroughly. He also went through several options with me and explained each in detail for certain needs that I had. I have full confidence in his professional work and the care he provides. Looking forward to my next visit. 👏

Recently visited Legacy Dental with a dental emergency. The team got me in same day and the staff was both courteous and professional. The doctor quickly assessed the issue and took me through my options in detail. The staff then helped arrange a follow up meeting with a partner clinic to treat my issue before I left. Thank you so much Legacy team, a very memorable and positive experience.

If you are one of those individuals who are apprehensive about dental procedures like me, this is the best place for you because Dr. Behlke is an incredible Dentist. He replaced several of my old fillings with precision care and my teeth look beautiful. Another plus I really liked is how the office is professional and easy to find.

I went in for Wisdom tooth pain. They had a last minute cancel and I got in there, same day! Which I was extremely thankful for cuz of the intense pain I was experiencing. I was in and out of there, WITH them being able to do the extraction, and X-ray in less than an hour! They were awesome! And! It was a fraction of the cost of what other offices were charging for the procedure. Especially cuz I don’t have insurance. Amazing staff, excellent dentist! 100/100 for me.

I love Legacy! They are everything you need and more. I've needed emergency dental work on a few occasions and they have always gotten me in same day, within the hour most of the time. Every single staff including dentists have been sweet and positive, and have always made me feel comfortable. I avoided going to the dentist most of my life, I just wish I would have known about them sooner.

Been going to Dr John Campbell for 15+ years. I won’t see anyone else. Every visit has been with as much care and concern as the my first visit. He is thorough, super professional, and won’t settle for anything less than perfection. Thank you Dr Campbell!

Compared to my previous (money hungry) dentist, this place is like a golden palace of greatness! Everyone is friendly and accommodating, and they make sure you're comfortable throughout your visit whether it's a routine cleaning or a crown replacement (I had both). I definitely recommend Legacy Dental! Thank you!
