Cone Beam CT 3D Imaging System
I
n an ongoing effort to provide you with the best care possible, our practice uses a 3-dimensional computer reconstruction imaging system, called a cone beam scan. This provides access to powerful, focused field 3D images, which enable us to make more informed diagnoses. This breakthrough technology, provides unprecedented views of the oral cavity, which allow us to better identify areas that are in need of treatment.
Images are acquired quickly and are available within minutes, so diagnoses can be made on the spot. Therefore, we are able to perform a wider range of diagnoses and treatments in the office, helping reduce multiple visits and rescheduling, saving you time while making treatment more affordable.
Most importantly, because our system focuses only on the area of interest, the amount of radiation exposure is significantly reduced. It only radiates the areas that are in need of diagnoses, delivering 10-30 times less exposure than other similar dental radiography systems, thus making it a safer choice for you.
Benefits include:
- High-resolution images – We can view your teeth more clearly.
- Less radiation – The unit only radiates areas being treated.
- Improved patient care – We can perform a wider range of diagnoses, helping reduce multiple visits, saving you time and money.
- Comfortable positioning – When images are taken, you are facing the doctor, making the image acquisition more comfortable for you.
