What is CBCT?

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) 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, CBCT 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. CBCT scans are 3D while regular radiographs are 2D images. This helps us detect issues that may not be visible with standard imaging.
Enhanced Precision: With high-resolution images, we can plan treatments such as implants, extractions, and orthodontics with unparalleled precision, ensuring better outcomes.
Safety and Comfort: Our CBCT scans use lower radiation levels compared to traditional CT scans, making them a safer option for your imaging needs. Plus, the process is quick and comfortable, taking only a few minutes.

Key Features :

Lower Radiation Exposure: CBCT 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 CBCT:

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 surgical procedures, including tooth extractions and jaw surgery. Especially used in wisdom teeth surgeries to ensure a safe before.

Benefits of having CBCT done:

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.
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 dentist can use CBCT 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 scanning process is straightforward and non-invasive, which helps reduce patient anxiety.
