Ridgetop Dental-the leading centre for
dental implants and sedation dentistry in Northern VA,
has relied on computerized tomography scans (CT), for many years. CT scans are
particularly very important for the precise planning and placement of dental
implants. In this article we will read how CT scan is useful in the measurement
of bone density before dental implant placement surgery.
How
do CT scans work?
CT scan is a technology that uses many
different X-ray images with the help of computers to generate cross-sectional
or even 3D views of internal organs and structures within the body. Ridgetop Dental combines CT scan technology
with other radiographic techniques to get a detailed view of the mouth and
skull. With the help of 3-D imaging, the bone structure, bone density, tissues
and nerves can be viewed clearly.
CT scans can be completed quickly, which
means far less radiation enters your body in comparison to x-ray. The main use
for CT scan technology in dental sciences is as an aid to dental implant
planning and treatment. Here are some benefits of using CT scans in implant
placement procedures:
·
To assess the quality and
density of the jawbone where the implant will be placed.
·
To determine where nerves are
located.
·
To identify the best site for
placement of dental implants.
·
To view the exact position of
each tooth.
·
For precise planning of
complete surgical procedure in advance, from start to finish.
·
To precisely determine the
appropriate size and type of implants.
With dental CT scans you can now expect
great success with your dental implants, but if the fear of dental visit is
deterring you from seeing a dentist then the experts at Ridgetop Dental would
be happy to discuss the option of sedation dentistry in Reston.
CBCT
scans- a step forward
CBCT scans are more advanced form of CT
scans. They allow the dentists to magnify specific areas of the face and view
cross-sectional “slices” of the jaw, thus making treatment more predictable and
successful.
CT
scan is an incredible tool that minimizes the cost of dental treatment, reduces
the treatment time and enhances the end results of dental surgery. Visit
