What is a CBCT Scan?

CBCT Cone Beam Computed Tomography is an advanced imaging technology that produces detailed three-dimensional images of dental and maxillofacial structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, which provide flat, two-dimensional images, a CBCT scan captures a 360-degree view, offering comprehensive insights into the anatomy of the area being examined.

Why does Country Dental use CBCT?

Comprehensive Views – Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT provides a complete picture of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. A CBCT scan is in 3D while regular radiographs are 2D images. 3D images help us detect issues that may not be visible with standard imaging.
Enhanced Precision – With high-resolution images, we can plan dental treatments such as implants, extractions, and orthodontics with unparalleled precision, ensuring better outcomes.
Safety and Comfort – Unlike traditional CT scans, our CBCT scans use much less radiation making them better and safer for imaging dental structures. Plus, the process is quick and comfortable, taking only a few minutes.

Key Features :

Lower Radiation Exposure – A CBCT scan typically emits less radiation than conventional CT scans, making it a safer option for patients.

3D Imaging – CBCT scans create a three-dimensional view of the patient’s teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues, allowing for a thorough examination.

High Resolution – The images produced are of high quality, providing detailed views that can help in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Reasons to use a CBCT Scan

Implant Planning – Assessing bone density and anatomy to determine the best placement for dental implants.
Orthodontics – Evaluating tooth positions and jaw relationships to create effective treatment plans.
Endodontics – Visualizing complex root canal systems and diagnosing issues like fractures or abscesses.
Oral Surgery – Assisting in the planning of dental surgical procedures, including tooth extractions and jaw surgery. Especially used in wisdom teeth surgeries to ensure a safe before.

Benefits of Having a CBCT Scan

Improved Diagnosis – The detailed images allow dentists to identify issues that may be missed with standard X-rays, such as bone loss, tumors, or complex root canal systems (see our GentleWave root canal page).
Enhanced Treatment Planning – CBCT is invaluable for planning procedures like dental implants, orthodontics, and oral surgery. It provides critical information regarding the size, shape, and position of anatomical structures.
Guidance for Surgery – Surgeons or dentists can use CBCT scan images to better understand the patient’s unique anatomy before performing procedures, leading to more precise interventions and better outcomes.
Real-time Imaging – The scans are quick, typically taking only a few minutes, and the images are available for review almost immediately. Country Dental loves to interact with patients and explain the CBCT right after the image is taken.
Patient Comfort – The CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY scanning process is straightforward and non-invasive, which helps reduce patient anxiety.
