Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
As part of our commitment to using the latest technology for your comfort we use 3D CT, or cone beam scanning in Wellesley, Massachusetts, while planning your treatment. Our dentists, Dr. Moskowitz-Porath and Dr. Chick, have done the necessary research to identify the best treatments for your smile.
There are many reasons why 3D technology is becoming increasingly well-established in dental practices around the world. It allows for more precise diagnoses and treatment explanations, 3D X-rays offer a number of advantages. Whether with superimposed teeth, unexpected nerve canal paths, hidden roots, or temporomandibular joint anomalies, 3D images are invaluable for a large number of diagnoses.
With the Orthophos SL 3D from Dentsply Sirona, several hundred individual images are produced when taking a 3D X-ray in the space of just a few seconds. Using this data, the software generates a 3D image of the jaw area. We then use these images to to take a "virtual tour" of the scanned volume and assess the data from every dimension.
The 3D Cone Beam scanner provides nearly limitless views of the teeth while using less radiation than traditional medical CT technology. This new technology is fast, simple and painless, providing many wonderful benefits that were unavailable only a few years ago.
Cone beam 3D imaging is effective for diagnosing and evaluating dental conditions, as well as planning treatments. The technology provides our dentists and team with a view of your mouth and supporting structures that is more comprehensive than that provided by digital X-rays. To learn more about cone beam 3D imaging and how it helps us provide you with exceptional care, we invite you to contact us today.
