3D CBCT
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is used to reconstruct a 3D image and a better overall view of your entire mouth, jaw, nasal, and throat areas.
It is used for dental implant planning, visualization of tooth infection, evaluation of jaws, and face, diagnosis of cavities, root canals, and dental trauma.
We may recommend you get a CBCT scan for a few reasons. It can be used as part of the planning step for your dental treatment, includes implant and root canal treatment.
By having a CBCT scan, we will be able to have much-needed detailed information about your oral situation. This information can include images of:
- Bone loss
- Tooth decay
- Nerves
- Soft tissue
- Facial fractures or abnormal growths
- Infections
- Tooth root issues
- Signs of TMJ or other problems with the jaw
- Other irregularities
