What is CBCT?
Benefits of CBCT Imaging
Enhanced Detail
CBCT produces high-resolution images that reveal intricate anatomical details, making it easier to identify issues such as tooth infections, bone loss, and anatomical variations.
Comprehensive Views
The ability to view structures from multiple angles helps our team plan precise treatment protocols, particularly for complex procedures like dental implants and orthognathic surgery.
Reduced Radiation Exposure
CBCT typically involves less radiation compared to traditional CT scans, making it a safer option for patients while still providing superior diagnostic information.
Efficient Treatment Planning
With detailed 3D images, our specialists can create tailored treatment plans that address your specific needs, improving overall outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Common Applications of CBCT
Dental Implants
Assessing bone density and volume to determine the optimal placement for implants.
Orthodontics
Evaluating tooth position and jaw relationships for effective treatment planning.
Endodontics
Identifying root canal anatomy and complications during treatment.
Oral Surgery
Planning for extractions, particularly in complex cases or when adjacent structures are involved.
