CBCT
What is Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)?
CBCT is an advanced imaging technology that uses a cone-shaped beam of radiation to capture detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This provides a more comprehensive view compared to traditional X-rays, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.
Benefits of CBCT:
1. High Precision Imaging:
CBCT provides highly detailed 3D images, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning, especially for complex dental cases.
2. Reduced Radiation Exposure:
While CBCT uses X-rays, the radiation exposure is significantly lower than traditional CT scans, ensuring your safety during the imaging process.
3. Comprehensive View:
CBCT captures images of your teeth, jawbone, nerve pathways, soft tissues, and sinuses, providing a complete picture of your oral health.
4. Improved Treatment Planning:
With CBCT, we can plan treatments such as implant placement, root canals, and orthodontics with exceptional precision and accuracy.
5. Better Patient Education:
The 3D images can be shared with you to help you understand your oral health condition and the recommended treatment options more effectively.
The CBCT Process:
1. Patient Positioning:
You will be comfortably positioned in the CBCT machine, and the imaging process is quick and non-invasive.
2. Image Capture:
The CBCT machine rotates around your head, capturing a series of images to create a 3D representation of your oral structures.
3. Image Reconstruction:
The captured images are processed by specialized software to create detailed 3D models.
4. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning:
Our experienced team uses the 3D images for accurate diagnoses and to create customized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
