CT
scanners have been around for decades, but certain types are designed to be
more advanced and effective in generating highly detailed images for precise
diagnosis and treatment. The CBCT scanner is one of the more advanced CT
scanning technologies. A dentist may order a CBCT scan when a regular facial or
dental x-ray is not enough for a proper diagnosis. CBCT can produce multiple 3D
images of your soft tissues, bone, teeth, and nerve pathways in different angles
with a single scan, making it faster and reliable for diagnosis of oral
disorders and diseases such as TMJ disorders, jaw tumors, and bone loss around dental
implants in Northern VA. Likewise, the scan is useful for treatment
planning for surgery and if you are considering implants.
A CBCT
scan can help the dentists
in Reston, Virginia in accurately planning and placing dental
implants. Moreover, the results can help in determining tooth orientation and
bone structure. Implant planning requires proper evaluation of the jaw, your
tissues, and the condition of your bones to make sure that they can handle the
implants. High-end CBCT scanners come with a software specifically developed
for implant planning. That way, dentists can easily see where the implant must
be placed in the jaw and avoid hitting any nerves. Likewise, the images can let
dentists see if there is enough bone for the implant to minimize your risk of
complications for your dental implants
in Chantilly VA.
CBCT
scanners are also referred to as ‘dental cone beam’, and they have become the
standard for assessing the bone quality for dental implant planning before
surgery. Traditional dental x-rays may not provide accurate and clear images
for determining the quality of the bone to be used for implant support. The
scan has been helpful and deemed reliable so far in bone density measurements,
which require precision and a highly stable system. The scan uses a more
focused x-ray beam that minimizes scatter radiation. Hence, better and clearer
images are generated.
