Dental Cone Beam CT : : A Comprehensive Imaging Solution

Dental Cone Beam CT services offered in ALLENTOWN, PA

What is Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT)?

Dental Cone Beam CT, or CBCT, is an advanced imaging technology that provides highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional dental X-rays, CBCT offers a more comprehensive view of your oral health, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Benefits of Dental CBCT

  • Enhanced Accuracy: CBCT provides more precise and detailed images than traditional X-rays, leading to more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
  • Reduced Radiation Exposure: CBCT technology is designed to minimize radiation exposure while still providing high-quality images.
  • Comprehensive Evaluation: CBCT can evaluate multiple areas of your oral health, including your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, and nerves.
  • Treatment Planning: CBCT is invaluable for planning complex dental procedures, such as dental implants, root canals, and oral surgery.

Common Uses of Dental CBCT

  • Dental Implants: CBCT helps assess bone density and identify potential nerve pathways before implant placement.
  • Root Canals: CBCT can reveal hidden root canals and infections that may not be visible on traditional X-rays.
  • Oral Surgery: CBCT provides a detailed view of the jawbone and surrounding structures for planning complex surgical procedures.
  • TMJ Disorders: CBCT can help diagnose and evaluate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
  • Orthodontics: CBCT can assess tooth and jaw alignment for orthodontics treatment planning.
