Cone Beam 3D Dental Imaging

Dental cone beam CT is commonly used for treatment planning of orthodontic issues. It is also useful for more complex cases that involve:

• Impacted wisdom teeth
• Dental implant sites
• Jaw and bone deformities/misalignments
• Nasal cavity/sinus issues
• TMJ disorders
• Facial trauma
• Complications in muscular structure, lymph nodes, gums & nerves
• Tumors and cysts
• Oral cancer

Benefits of Cone Beam Dental Imaging:

• The focused x-ray beam reduces scatter radiation, resulting in better image quality.
• A single scan produces a wide variety of views and angles that can be manipulated to provide a more complete evaluation.
• Cone beam CT scans provide more information than conventional dental x-rays or CT scans, allowing for more precise treatment planning.
• CT scanning is painless, non-invasive and accurate.
• X-rays used in CT scans should have no immediate side effects.
• Creates a pathway of dental nerves & roots.
