At Coronado Dental Associates, getting a CBCT dental scan is more than just an imaging procedure. It's a step toward highly personalized, precise dental care. A CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan uses advanced 3D imaging to give our dentists and specialists, Dr. Melanie Villalobos and Dr. Margaret Meadows, a complete and crystal-clear view of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and soft tissues.
Unlike traditional dental X-rays, CBCT technology captures incredibly detailed information in a single scan, providing the foundation for accurate diagnoses and advanced treatments like implants, root canals, and same-day crowns.
Located right here in Coronado, and also convenient for patients in Imperial Beach and Downtown San Diego, we’re proud to offer this state-of-the-art dental imaging technology in a warm and welcoming setting. Whether you're visiting for routine care or working with our on-island endodontist, Dr. Saremi, for root canal therapy, your comfort and clarity of treatment come first.
If you’re planning for a complex dental procedure, such as a dental implant or root canal, a CBCT scan will likely be your dentist’s first step toward creating a treatment plan designed for precision and long-term success. A CBCT scan goes far beyond what traditional 2D X-rays can offer.
It allows our team to visualize the entire structure of your mouth in three dimensions. This in-depth perspective helps reduce guesswork, identify concerns early, and ensure your treatment is tailored specifically to your unique anatomy.
At Coronado Dental Associates, we use CBCT scanning to not only enhance outcomes but to make your experience easier and more comfortable. There’s no need to travel off the island. We offer in-house imaging to save you valuable time and make each visit as efficient as possible. Plus, our friendly, community-focused approach means you’ll feel at home from the moment you walk in the door.

+ More Accurate Diagnoses
CBCT scans give our doctors a complete 360-degree view, making it easier to detect issues that may be hidden in traditional X-rays. Whether it’s a hidden infection or bone loss, early detection means more options and better outcomes.
+ Simplified Treatment Planning
With precise visuals of your bone and tooth structure, CBCT imaging helps when planning for implants, root canals, or orthodontic adjustments. This leads to smoother, faster, and more successful procedures.
+ Convenient and Quick
The scan takes just minutes to complete and requires no special preparation. Since we offer imaging in-house, you won’t need to visit a separate imaging center. This saves you time and makes treatment more convenient than ever.
Initial Evaluation With Your Dentist
Dr. Villalobos or Dr. Meadows will start with a personalized consultation, discussing your symptoms or treatment goals. If a CBCT scan is recommended, they’ll explain how the scan will provide clarity and guide your care. It’s an easy, pressure-free conversation designed around your comfort, goals, and budget. This is just one example of our patient-first philosophy.
In-House 3D Imaging
Our CBCT scan technology is conveniently located right in our Coronado office, so you can stay close to home. The process takes just a few minutes and is completely painless. You’ll stand or sit still in the machine while it rotates around your head, capturing 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and sinuses. No sedation, no discomfort. Just simple, modern dental technology at work.
Collaborative Treatment Planning
Once your scan is complete, your dentist or specialist will walk you through the imagery and explain what it means. Whether you’re seeing Dr. Saremi for specialty endodontic care or pursuing a same-day crown with Dr. Villalobos, your plan will be customized based on your scan results. We’ll answer questions, review timelines, and make sure you feel confident before moving forward with treatment.
