At our clinic, we use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to provide a higher standard of diagnostic care. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, a CBCT scan creates a highly detailed 3D digital model of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, and surrounding soft tissues in just seconds. This advanced technology is essential for precise treatment planning, particularly for:
Dental Implants: We can assess your bone density and map out the exact placement of implants for safer, more predictable results.
Endodontics: It allows us to see complex root canal structures and hidden infections that standard X-rays might miss.
Oral Surgery: Visualizing the precise location of impacted wisdom teeth helps us minimize surgical risk.
TMJ Analysis: We can better evaluate jaw joint issues.
The scan itself is quick, painless, and non-invasive. Best of all, it offers significantly lower radiation exposure compared to a traditional medical CT scan, ensuring your safety while giving us the most accurate "roadmap" possible for your smile.
