Advanced imaging at Icónica
Vatech CBCT.
CleverOne clarity.
Icónica uses Vatech cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with CleverOne software to support diagnosis and the planning of surgical and dental implant procedures. When clinically indicated, three-dimensional imaging helps us assess tooth roots, available bone, and nearby structures such as nerves and sinuses.
CleverOne supports image review and visual treatment planning, helping us explain your anatomy and proposed care more clearly. For implant treatment, this information supports assessment of the site and planning of implant position.
Imaging is selected for your individual needs. CBCT is used when the additional three-dimensional information is clinically appropriate; it is not required for every examination or procedure.

Planning & your options
Can I be seen the same day?
We prioritize urgent dental concerns. Same-day appointments depend on availability and your clinical needs. Call (305) 426-6422 before arriving.
What does the emergency visit cost?
Our advertised Emergency Exam & Digital X-Ray is $129, credited toward the recommended treatment when you proceed. The treatment itself is priced separately; ask the team about applicable offer details.
What if I have trouble breathing or swallowing?
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. Do not wait for a dental appointment if swelling affects breathing or swallowing.
What should I do with a knocked-out adult tooth?
Handle it by the crown rather than the root. Keep it moist in milk or an appropriate tooth-preservation medium and seek dental care immediately. Do not reinsert a baby tooth.
Can you save a broken tooth?
That depends on the location and extent of the damage and the condition of the root. Options may include bonding, a filling, a crown, root canal treatment, or removal.
Treatment & ongoing care
What if my crown comes off?
Keep the crown and bring it to your visit. Avoid chewing on that side and do not use household glue. The tooth and crown need assessment before recementation.
Are antibiotics always needed?
No. Many dental problems need treatment of the tooth or infection source rather than antibiotics alone. The dentist decides whether medication is indicated.
Can you help if I am visiting the area?
Yes, visitors can contact the office for urgent assessment. Tell us about upcoming travel so it can be considered in the treatment and follow-up plan.
What happens outside office hours?
Call for the office’s current instructions. For breathing or swallowing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious facial injury, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Will my emergency treatment be completed at one visit?
Some problems can be treated at the first visit; others need staged care, specialist referral, or laboratory work. We explain the expected sequence after assessment.
Costs & payment
How much will my treatment cost?
The advertised emergency exam and digital X-ray offer is $129, credited toward treatment when you proceed. We explain any additional treatment fees after your examination.
Will my insurance cover care?
Benefits vary by plan, exclusions, limits, and the reason for treatment. Our team can help review the estimated benefits and patient portion. An estimate does not guarantee insurer payment.
Do you offer financing?
Icónica offers access to Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit. Approval, rates, offers, and repayment terms vary by provider and applicant.
