CBCT Scan

What is a CBCT Scan?:

A cone beam CT is a special type of x-ray machine used in situations where a regular dental x-ray is not sufficient. This type of CT scanner uses a special type of technology to generate 3D images of dental structures, soft tissue, nerve paths and bone in the craniofacial region in a single scan. Images obtained with CBCT allow for more precise treatment planning.

What is it used for?:

• Accurate placement of dental implants
• Surgical planning for impacted teeth
• Diagnosing temporomandibular joint disorder
• Evaluation of the jaw, sinuses, nerve canals and nasal cavity
• Locating the origin of pain or pathology
