CBCT: The Best of Dental Implant Technology

Posted on 1/23/2023 by San Tan Oral Surgery

Smartphones, Google Home, and other technical appliances have made it simpler and faster to complete routine activities. Improvements in dental treatment have been made possible by technological advancements, particularly in tooth replacement and oral surgery.

Why Advanced Technology is Important

Expertise and training are helpful in pretty much any field. However, modern tools enhance your abilities, guaranteeing even more results. If you are serious about succeeding in your area, use the greatest resources available and always look for better ways to do things.

Technology in dentistry can show the difference between a successful procedure and one fraught with problems or failure. While digital X-rays have simplified the time it takes to process the images, a cone beam CT scanner offers even more cutting-edge technology for the most complex dental procedures.

How a Cone Beam CT Scanner Operates?

The subject enters the scanner's center and remains motionless as the device captures high-resolution images of their head from various angles. In the next step, the oral surgeon uses sophisticated software to assemble these images into a 3D model of the patient's whole mouth cavity. Your oral surgeon can use this 3D model to plan complex procedures like implant placement more precisely.

Why is a Cone Beam CT Scanner Beneficial?

The information provided by this scanner goes well beyond that of a traditional dental X-ray. The jaw, teeth, blood vessels, and nerves can all be imaged with a cone beam CT scanner.

The quality of the CBCT scanner's images is crucial to the outcomes of dental treatments. During pre-operative planning, an oral surgeon can determine the most favorable anatomical location to surgically install the dental implant, ensuring the patient has the least trauma and the fewest possible complications after the placement.

What our patients are saying about us

"Dr. Colson is amazing! She explained everything thoroughly without sounding condescending and gently but directly guides you through the whole procedure. She is excellent and super experienced. I got my wisdom teeth pulled (3 partially impacted and one simply extracted) and aside from asking too many questions under laughing gas before the general anesthesia knocked me out, I got no complications and have had essentially no pain at all." – Ana D.
