Advanced Imaging with CBCT

CBCT imaging offers several advantages over traditional X-rays. While X-rays produce two-dimensional images, CBCT scans provide detailed three-dimensional images, offering a more comprehensive view of dental structures. Additionally, CBCT imaging exposes patients to lower radiation doses compared to traditional CT scans, making it a safer option for frequent use in dental practices.

CBCT scans offer numerous benefits in dentistry, including enhanced diagnostic accuracy, improved treatment planning, and better patient outcomes. These scans provide detailed information about bone density, tooth roots, nerve pathways, and anatomical abnormalities, allowing dentists to make more informed decisions about patient care. CBCT imaging also helps minimize the risk of complications during surgical procedures and ensures precise placement of dental implants and orthodontic appliances.

CBCT scans are generally safe and well-tolerated by patients. The procedure is brief and painless, typically requiring only a few minutes of remaining still as the machine rotates around the head. CBCT scans emit low levels of radiation, significantly reducing the risk of radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans. However, special considerations are made for pregnant women and children, and the procedure is only performed when deemed necessary by the dentist.
