Why We Recommend CBCT Scans for Your Dental Care

As your trusted dentist, we may recommend CBCT scans when we believe they will benefit your treatment. These advanced scans provide detailed 3D images of your teeth, jawbones, and nerves. They offer far greater precision than regular X-rays. This enhanced view of your dental structure allows us to deliver superior, tailored care.

Our standard dental exams are thorough, but CBCT scans reveal hidden structures like bones and nerves. This deeper insight is crucial for planning procedures with pinpoint accuracy. The CBCT process is both comfortable and quick, making it an invaluable tool in advanced dentistry. By incorporating CBCT into your care, we ensure the most accurate diagnosis and the best treatment outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CBCT imaging and why is it used in dentistry?

CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography, a specialized type of imaging technology that provides detailed 3D images of the teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures. Dentists use CBCT scans to accurately assess dental anatomy, diagnose oral health issues, plan complex procedures such as implant placement or orthodontic treatment, and evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.

How does CBCT imaging differ from traditional X-rays?

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.

What are the benefits of CBCT scans in dentistry?

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.

Are there any risks associated with CBCT scans?

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. Our experienced staff accurately reads and interprets the results, ensuring thorough care and addressing any concerns you may have.

How often should CBCT scans be performed?

The frequency of CBCT scans depends on the individual patient’s oral health needs and treatment requirements. In most cases, CBCT scans are performed on an as-needed basis to aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of treatment outcomes. Dentists will assess each patient’s situation and recommend CBCT imaging when necessary to ensure optimal dental care.
