This advanced X-ray facility shows 3-dimensional photos of bone mass. A CT scan enables a dentist to see the density of bone, the height, your anatomical structure and more. This will enable your dentist to evaluate your suitability for dental implant treatment as well as any additional procedures you may need. At Stamford Dental Care, we have the latest CBCT scanner, KAVO 3DOPT.
There are various reasons why a CBCT scan is not only recommended but also the best course of action when planning dental implants for a patient. For the implant to be placed safely and without disruption to critical nerves or other important structures, it is essential for your dentist to be able to see where it will be located. This is where CBCT scanning comes in.
The CBCT scan will produce 3D cross-sectional images of the jaws and teeth, which provide detailed information about the area that cannot be obtained with just a normal X-ray. This enables your dental implant dentist to assess where the implant post will be located and check that the bone is in a suitable shape and density to regrow around it and secure it in place. It also minimises the risk of problems like nerve damage occurring, making the entire process safer and more likely to succeed.
A CBCT scan refers to a Cone Beam CT scan. This digital imaging test uses X-rays and computer-processed X-ray information to create an intensely accurate, high-resolution visual image of your teeth and jaw.
It is an alternative to a regular X-ray or CT scan. It can be used before planning many orthodontic treatments and dental procedures, including the placement of dental implants.
