- Early Detection: Digital filters allow us to spot microscopic signs of decay, bone loss, and structural issues long before they become painful, saving you time and money.
Intraoral Digital Cameras
We believe in empowering our patients through education. With our small, pen-sized Intraoral Cameras, we can stream a live, magnified view of the inside of your mouth onto a chairside screen. You see exactly what Dr. Syal sees, making it easier than ever to understand your oral health and make confident decisions about your care.

Carestream CS 8200 3D Neo: Advanced 3D Dental Imaging
At Syal Family Dentistry, we use advanced technology to see beyond what traditional dental X-rays can reveal. Our Carestream CS 8200 3D Neo Edition is a state-of-the-art cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system that creates detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, jawbone, roots, and surrounding oral structures.
This advanced imaging technology gives our dental team a more comprehensive view of your oral health, helping us diagnose conditions accurately and plan treatment with greater precision.
How Does the Carestream CS 8200 3D Neo Work?
The CS 8200 3D Neo uses cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to capture a series of images from different angles as the imaging unit moves around your head. Sophisticated software then combines these images to create a detailed 3D representation of the area being examined.
Unlike a traditional two-dimensional dental X-ray, CBCT imaging allows us to examine dental and facial structures from multiple angles and explore areas that may otherwise be difficult to visualize.
The system offers multiple selectable fields of view, allowing us to focus the scan on the specific area needed for your individual treatment. This means we can obtain highly detailed diagnostic information while tailoring the examination to your clinical needs.
Request an AppointmentWhy We Use 3D Imaging
The detailed images produced by the CS 8200 3D Neo can provide valuable information for many types of dental care, including:
- Dental implant planning: Evaluate bone structure and important anatomical landmarks before implant placement.
- Root canal and endodontic treatment: View detailed tooth and root canal anatomy and identify concerns that may be difficult to see with conventional imaging.
- Oral surgery: Examine impacted teeth, surrounding bone, and other anatomical structures when planning surgical procedures.
- Periodontal care: Evaluate bone levels and structures surrounding the teeth.
- TMJ evaluation: Obtain detailed views of the temporomandibular joints when clinically appropriate.
- Full-arch and complex treatment planning: Capture detailed information about the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures to help plan comprehensive care.
Detailed Imaging with Patient Comfort in Mind
The CS 8200 3D Neo is designed to combine advanced image quality with an efficient patient experience. Its selectable imaging areas allow our team to choose an appropriate field of view based on the area that needs to be evaluated. The system also features high-resolution imaging capabilities for cases in which exceptionally fine anatomical detail is important.
The scan itself is straightforward. You are carefully positioned in the machine while the imaging unit moves around your head to collect the necessary information. The resulting digital images are available for our team to review and use in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Better Information for Personalized Dental Care
Advanced technology is most valuable when it helps us provide better, more individualized care. With the Carestream CS 8200 3D Neo, our team can study your unique anatomy in three dimensions, explain our findings more clearly, and use detailed diagnostic information when developing your treatment plan.
By bringing advanced 3D imaging directly into our Santa Rosa dental office, Syal Family Dentistry can provide convenient, technology-driven diagnostics as part of our commitment to precise, comfortable, and personalized dental care.
