3D CBCT imaging is a modern technology that offers unparalleled precision for dental diagnostics. At Olmos Park Family and Implant Dentistry, we use this innovative imaging technique to create highly detailed, three-dimensional images of the oral and maxillofacial areas. With these images, Dr. Amogh Bhalerao and Dr. Margot Metz can see a clear view of the teeth, jaw and surrounding structures, making it easier to diagnose complex dental concerns accurately. Our team prioritizes patient comfort and efficiency while using state-of-the-art equipment for each imaging session.
How 3D CBCT Imaging Works
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized type of x-ray that rotates around the patient’s head to capture hundreds of high-resolution images. These images are then digitally combined into a comprehensive 3D model that allows our dentists to view intricate details from any angle. This approach provides:
- A clear view of bone structure, nerves and soft tissues
- Enhanced accuracy for dental implant planning and other treatments
- Reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans
- Efficient and quick imaging, typically taking less than a minute
Our practice’s advanced 3D CBCT technology ensures that each scan is both safe and effective, helping patients and our team achieve the best possible outcomes.
Benefits of 3D CBCT Imaging for Our Patients
3D CBCT imaging is transformative for dental diagnostics, providing benefits such as:
- Precision in Diagnosis: The detailed, layered images help detect issues early, offering more precise treatment options.
- Enhanced Patient Education: Patients can view their 3D images, making it easier to understand their treatment needs.
