3D Imaging With CBCT In New Lenox, IL
3D CT Cone Beam
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), also referred to as 3D dental imaging, provides a clearer and more detailed view of dental anatomy compared to traditional film-based dental x-rays.
What is 3D CT Imaging?
Traditional x-rays use radiation waves to capture 2D images of small body areas, while 3D CT scans provide clearer images of oral and facial structures. Unlike flat x-ray images, CT scans allow us to rotate and examine damaged teeth from every angle. Additionally, CT scans enable us to see every aspect of the entire smile, not just individual teeth.
Why do We Use 3D CT Imaging?
In order to enhance dental care for patients in various situations, we may suggest the utilization of 3D CT scans.
We provide diagnosis and treatment planning for patients experiencing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
The purpose is to produce surgical guides for dental implant placement and the connection of prosthetic teeth.
To plan for oral surgery like tooth extractions
To ensure safety and efficacy of root canal therapy
How does 3D CT Scanning Improve Dental Care?
In our office, 3D CT scans, like other advanced dentistry technologies, enhance the patient experience in various ways.
Patients can view 3D images of their smile on the computer monitors next to their chair, which helps them comprehend any areas of concern and potential treatment choices.
We can highlight or zoom in on specific areas to offer patients a better perspective on their oral health concerns
The digital files can be quickly transferred to dental labs, insurance providers, and specialists as needed to speed up the treatment process.
Digital files are easily stored, reassessed, and compared with other x-rays to improve the success and efficacy of dental treatments
