The Benefits of Dental CBCT Imaging
- Comprehensive 3D Views: CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) offers three-dimensional imaging for detailed analysis of facial structures.
- In-depth Analysis: The technology provides vital data on bone thickness, tooth fractures, canal pathways, nerve and vessel courses, as well as the positioning of tooth roots relative to upper jaw sinuses and impacted teeth.
- Precise Treatment Planning: Essential for accurate implant placement and wisdom tooth extractions.
- Facial Structure Analysis: The 3D scanner assesses the relationship between facial soft and hard tissues, aiding in predicting treatment outcomes for implants, restorations, and orthodontics.
