What Is Cone-Beam CT?
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a dental imaging technique that provides highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This advanced technology allows Dr. Christopher McManus and our team at Baldwin County Endodontics to plan treatments with greater precision by offering a clearer view of your oral anatomy. With CBCT, we can assess bone structure, detect abnormalities, and develop personalized treatment plans, ensuring more accurate and effective care for our patients in Fairhope, AL. If your dentist has referred you for endodontic treatment, reach out to Baldwin County Endodontics to learn how cone-beam CT dental imaging can support your care and improve your treatment outcomes.

Baldwin County Endodontics Reviews
2 very good experiences with Dr McManus and his staff.
Extremely impressed - Dr McMantus is a kind caring man. It shows in the work he does. I feel very fortunate to be able to see him. He works with us Veterans and grateful to him for it. He is talented and gentle. His staff is as outstanding as he is.
They set appointment date which was two weeks later. I asked to call me if they had a cancellation and they did. I was seen on 1/19/22 which was only a few days after the initial call.
Family oriented! Excellent Staff! When I came in was nervous! When I left, Calm and for me that's saying alot! Highly recommend!

A CBCT scan gives Dr. McManus a clear, 3D view of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding tissues, something traditional X-rays can’t always show.

Getting a CBCT scan is quick and completely painless. You’ll simply stand or sit still while the scanner gently rotates around your head, capturing a detailed 3D image in just a few minutes. The scan is performed right here in our Fairhope office and allows Dr. McManus to plan your treatment with greater accuracy.
