3D Con Beams X-Rays

Dr. Burhoop uses the 3D Cone Beam X-ray not only to diagnose various conditions, but to prepare the best possible treatment plan for each individual patient. Not everyone is the same, and the 3D X-ray shows Dr. Burhoop and our staff things like your bone density, thickness, and where your nerves are, allowing us to provide you the best care possible. We are committed to having current technology to give each patient the care they deserve. Providing exceptional patient care that you can trust is our highest priority.
