What is 3D CT Scanning and Why is it Important?

3D CT scanning, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), provides a three-dimensional view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, which offer a two-dimensional image, 3D CT scans give us a complete view from multiple angles. This detailed imaging is crucial for procedures that require high accuracy, such as dental implants, root canals, and complex extractions.

Our Restorative Dentistry page offers more information on how this technology supports advanced treatments to restore your smile.

Benefits of 3D CT Scanning

1. Precision in Treatment Planning

With 3D CT scans, we can see the exact position of teeth roots, nerves, and bone density. This clarity minimizes risks and allows for precise planning, especially for procedures such as Dental Implants and bone grafting.

2. Enhanced Patient Comfort and Safety

Our 3D CT technology is designed to reduce radiation exposure, ensuring a safer experience than traditional imaging methods. Additionally, the non-invasive process is quick and comfortable, making it ideal for patients of all ages.

3. Comprehensive Evaluation for Complex Cases

3D CT scanning is invaluable for diagnosing TMJ disorders, planning for orthodontic treatment, and assessing the need for wisdom teeth removal. The detailed images help us identify underlying issues and recommend the most effective treatments.
