Dental technology plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating oral health conditions with precision and efficiency. CT scanners provide detailed, three-dimensional images of the teeth, jaw and surrounding structures, allowing for more accurate treatment planning. Our dentists and team use this advanced imaging technology to enhance patient care, improve diagnostic accuracy and ensure better treatment outcomes.
Advanced Imaging for Accurate Diagnoses
CT scanners offer a higher level of detail compared to traditional dental X-rays. By capturing 3D images of the oral structures, this technology helps identify potential concerns that may not be visible with standard imaging techniques. These high-resolution scans allow our team to assess bone density, tooth positioning and sinus structure, which is particularly useful for complex procedures.
Patients benefit from CT scans for:
- Detecting hidden dental issues, such as impacted teeth or fractures
- Evaluating bone structure for dental implants
- Assessing jaw alignment and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- Planning surgical procedures with greater precision
- Identifying infections or cysts within the jaw
With this technology, our team can provide more accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
A Comfortable and Efficient Imaging Experience
Our dentists and team prioritize patient comfort throughout the imaging process. Unlike traditional X-rays, CT scans are quick, non-invasive and require minimal preparation. The scanner rotates around the patient’s head, capturing detailed images in just a few seconds. The procedure is safe, with lower radiation exposure compared to older imaging methods.
By using CT scanners, our dentists and team enhance the patient experience by reducing the need for exploratory procedures and improving treatment precision. This results in more predictable outcomes and a smoother overall dental care process.
