720-792-8227When you visit Cherry Creek Restorative Dentistry, our prosthodontists and oral surgeons may use cone beam imaging to examine your teeth and supporting oral structures in detail. Also known as CBCT imaging or CT scanning, this 3D technology makes it easy for Drs. Chertok, Aguirre, Chai and Luter to diagnose problems quickly and create a treatment plan that meets your needs.
What is Cone Beam Imaging?
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a cutting-edge imaging technology that provides high-definition, three-dimensional (3D) images of the patient’s teeth, mouth, jaw and even the skull. Unlike traditional X-rays, which only offer a two-dimensional view, CBCT captures data using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. This technology rotates around the patient, capturing data from multiple angles, which a computer then uses to construct a comprehensive 3D image. This advanced imaging method offers unparalleled detail and accuracy, allowing prosthodontists to assess and diagnose dental conditions with greater precision than ever before.
When is CBCT Imaging Used?
CBCT imaging is highly versatile and is used in planning and providing a wide range of treatments, including:
- Dental implant placement
- Evaluating jawbone structure
- Visualizing anatomical structures, such as nerves and sinuses
- Diagnosing impacted teeth
- Diagnosing and evaluating TMJ disorders
- Assessing tooth orientation and bone structure
- Viewing the head and neck as a comprehensive whole
- Diagnosing tooth decay, endodontic problems and other issues
