At our dental practice, we prioritize using the latest technology to provide the best care for our patients. One of the advanced tools we use is Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This state-of-the-art imaging technique allows us to capture detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, bone and soft tissues, giving us a comprehensive view that traditional X-rays cannot offer.
CBCT is particularly beneficial for diagnosing and planning treatment for various dental conditions. When you visit us for an assessment, we may recommend a CBCT scan to gain a complete understanding of your oral health. This technology is invaluable in procedures such as implant planning, evaluating jaw disorders, assessing sinus issues and detecting hidden dental structures like root canals and nerve pathways.
The process of taking a CBCT scan is quick and comfortable. The CBCT machine will rotate around your head to capture different images. The entire scan usually takes less than a minute and the images are immediately available for us to review. This rapid availability of detailed images means that we can diagnose problems and discuss treatment options with you during the same visit.
CBCT offers several advantages. The three-dimensional images provide unparalleled detail, enabling us to plan treatments with high precision. This level of accuracy can significantly improve the outcomes of procedures such as dental implants, ensuring that they are placed in the optimal position for long-term success. Additionally, CBCT can help us identify potential issues before they become more serious, allowing for early intervention and more conservative treatment options.
We understand that radiation exposure is a concern for many patients. Rest assured that CBCT uses a focused beam to minimize exposure and the scan is only recommended when it is necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Our team is committed to your safety and will always weigh the benefits of CBCT against any potential risks.
Incorporating CBCT into our diagnostic toolkit underscores our dedication to providing comprehensive and advanced dental care. By utilizing this technology, we can offer more precise diagnoses, tailored treatment plans and improved outcomes. We are here to answer any questions you may have about CBCT and to discuss how it can enhance your dental care experience.
We are committed to leveraging the best technology available to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
