Cone Beam Computed Tomography

At First Dental Center, we embrace the latest advancements in dental technology to ensure you receive the most precise and comprehensive care available. Our state-of-the-art CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) system offers a 3D view of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and bone structure, providing unparalleled detail to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.

What is CBCT?

CBCT is a medical imaging technique that combines X-ray technology with computerized analysis to produce clear 3D images of the facial bones, dental structures, and soft tissues in a single scan. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT provides detailed, cross-sectional views that are free from distortion, offering a more comprehensive understanding of your oral anatomy.

Benefits of CBCT Imaging

  • Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: CBCT imaging provides high-resolution 3D images, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment planning for a range of dental issues, including complex cases involving the jaw, sinuses, and teeth.
  • Improved Treatment Outcomes: The detailed visualization of bones and tissues helps in accurately planning surgeries, placing implants, evaluating bone structure and tooth orientation, and designing orthodontic interventions.
  • Minimally Invasive: With clearer and more detailed images, CBCT allows for more targeted examinations, reducing the need for invasive exploratory procedures.
  • Efficiency and Time-Saving: The quick scanning process (typically under a minute) and immediate image availability speed up both diagnosis and the onset of treatment, offering convenience and saving time for both patient and practitioner.
  • Safe and Low Radiation Exposure: CBCT scanners are designed to minimize radiation exposure. The focused cone-shaped beam reduces scatter radiation, making it safer than conventional medical CT imaging.
