CBCT

A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan is a painless, quick, and non-invasive dental X-ray that produces 3D images of the jaw, teeth, and surrounding areas. CBCT scans are used for a variety of dental procedures, including:
Treatment planning: For orthodontics and dental implants
Surgical planning: For impacted teeth
Diagnosing conditions: For temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) and jaw tumors
Evaluating conditions: For the jaw, sinuses, nerve canals, and nasal cavity
CBCT scans are the preferred option over traditional CT scans for dental imaging because they: Use less radiation, Are more affordable, Are compact and can be located in-office, Provide high-quality images, and Can be analyzed in different sections.
During a CBCT scan, you sit or stand still while the machine rotates around your head to take 360-degree images. The scan itself takes only a few seconds, and you don't need to be sedated.
