Key Points About CT Scans

CT scans are a revolutionary tool in dentistry that can be leveraged in a few different ways. Here are a few things that you should know:

3D Imaging: CBCT provides three-dimensional images of teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. This is far more detailed than traditional dental X-rays.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning: Dentists use CBCT scans to diagnose conditions such as impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, and infections. It's also crucial for planning treatments like dental implants, as it helps determine the precise location and density of the jawbone.
Safety: CBCT exposes patients to less radiation compared to traditional CT scans, making it a safer option for detailed dental imaging.
Non-Invasive: The procedure is non-invasive and requires little to no special preparation. Patients simply need to wear loose, comfortable clothing and remove any jewelry.
Applications: Beyond dental implants, CBCT is used for evaluating sinus issues, detecting tumors, and assessing facial fractures.

The Benefits of CT Scans

CT scans are a powerful tool that allows our dental experts to treat you better than before. With this technology, you’ll find your next dental visit all the more insightful. Here are four main benefits that CT scans provide:

Accurate Diagnosis: With detailed 3D images, CT scans help in identifying dental problems with precision.
Effective Treatment Planning: Dentists can plan procedures like implants or root canals more accurately, minimizing risks and surprises.
Reduced Guesswork: It helps to visualize nerves and bone structure, reducing guesswork and improving patient outcomes.
Time Efficiency: One quick scan can provide comprehensive details, making the diagnostic process faster and more efficient.
