CBCT Scanner
CBCT Scanner: Advanced 3D Imaging for Precise Dental Care
At Shenstone Dental Centre, we are proud to offer CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanning technology to enhance the quality and accuracy of our dental care. CBCT is a state-of-the-art 3D imaging technique that allows our dental professionals to view detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. This advanced tool is instrumental in diagnosing complex dental conditions, planning treatments, and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
What is CBCT Imaging?
CBCT, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography, is a specialised form of X-ray technology that produces high-resolution, 3D images of your oral and facial structures. Unlike traditional 2D X-rays, CBCT provides a more comprehensive view, capturing the entire jaw, teeth, sinuses, and even the nerves in a single scan. This allows our team to analyse the full scope of your oral health and detect issues that might be missed with conventional imaging methods.
Benefits of CBCT in Dentistry
By incorporating CBCT into our practice, we’re able to offer several advantages for our patients:
- Precise Diagnosis: CBCT allows for more accurate detection of dental problems, such as impacted teeth, jawbone abnormalities, or hidden infections.
- Improved Treatment Planning: With 3D images, we can create detailed, customised treatment plans for procedures like dental implants, root canals, and orthodontics.
- Minimised Radiation Exposure: CBCT produces high-quality images with a lower dose of radiation compared to traditional CT scans, making it a safer option for patients.
- Enhanced Visualisation: Whether you’re undergoing implant surgery or needing a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, CBCT allows us to visualise structures from every angle, improving accuracy and reducing the risk of complications.
Applications of CBCT in Dentistry
Our CBCT scanner is used for a variety of dental applications, including:
- Dental Implants: CBCT imaging helps us assess bone density and determine the ideal placement of implants for a successful and long-lasting result.
- Orthodontics: 3D scans provide detailed information about tooth alignment and jaw structure, aiding in the design of effective orthodontic treatment plans.
- Endodontics: For root canal therapy, CBCT allows for precise imaging of the tooth’s root structure, helping to identify infections or fractures that might not be visible on traditional X-rays.
- TMJ and Sinus Assessments: CBCT scans offer detailed images of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and sinuses, helping to diagnose issues related to jaw pain, headaches, or sinus problems.
- Oral Surgery: Whether for tooth extractions or complex surgeries, CBCT helps us plan procedures with greater accuracy and minimal risk.
