3D CT Cone Beam
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), also known as 3D dental imaging, offers a more precise and comprehensive visualization of dental anatomy in comparison to conventional film-based dental x-rays.
What Is 3D CT Imaging?
Traditional x-rays utilize radiation waves to capture two-dimensional images of small body areas, whereas three-dimensional CT scans offer more precise visuals of oral and facial structures. Unlike flat x-ray images, CT scans allow for a comprehensive examination of damaged teeth from various angles. Furthermore, CT scans provide a holistic view of the entire smile, rather than focusing solely on individual teeth.
Why Do We Use 3D CT Imaging?
To improve dental care for patients in different scenarios, we recommend considering the use of 3D CT scans.
- Our services include diagnosing and planning treatment for patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
- We specialize in creating surgical guides for dental implant placement and the attachment of prosthetic teeth.
- We also offer comprehensive planning for oral surgeries, such as tooth extractions.
- Our priority is to ensure the safety and effectiveness of root canal therapy.
Why Do We Use 3D CT Imaging?
In our office, 3D CT scans, like other advanced dentistry technologies, enhance the patient experience in various ways.In our office, the utilization of 3D CT scans, along with other advanced dentistry technologies, significantly improves the overall patient experience in multiple ways.
- Patients have the ability to view 3D images of their smile on the computer monitors next to their chair, allowing them to better understand any areas of concern and potential treatment options.
- We have the capability to highlight or zoom in on specific areas, providing patients with a clearer perspective on their oral health issues.
- The digital files can be quickly and easily transferred to dental labs, insurance providers, and specialists as needed, expediting the treatment process.
- These digital files can be easily stored, reviewed, and compared with other x-rays, enhancing the effectiveness and success of dental treatments.
