Cone Beam CT Scan
At New England Dental Group, we are proud to offer advanced diagnostic tools that allow us to deliver the highest quality care to our patients. One of these technologies is the dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scan. This powerful imaging method provides a detailed 3D view of your teeth, jaw, nerve pathways, and surrounding bone structure—all captured in a single scan.
Unlike traditional dental X-rays that show only a flat, two-dimensional image, Cone Beam CT scans give our Elmwood Park IL dentist a comprehensive view of your oral anatomy. This level of detail is essential when planning complex procedures such as dental implants, root canal therapy, orthodontic treatment, or evaluating issues with the jaw, sinuses, or temporomandibular joints (TMJ).
The process is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive. You’ll simply sit or stand still while the machine rotates around your head, capturing hundreds of images in less than a minute. These images are then compiled into a precise 3D model that allows our Elmwood Park IL dentist to accurately diagnose and treat your condition.
Benefits of Cone Beam CT Technology:
- Greater Diagnostic Accuracy: 3D imaging helps detect issues that traditional X-rays may miss.
- Improved Treatment Planning: Detailed visuals support better outcomes for surgical and restorative procedures.
- Low Radiation Exposure: Modern Cone Beam units use a focused beam, minimizing radiation exposure compared to conventional CT scans.
- Patient Comfort: The scan is fast and requires no uncomfortable bitewings or contrast dyes.
Our Elmwood Park IL dentist uses this cutting-edge technology to ensure your diagnosis and treatment plan are based on the most accurate information available. Whether you're preparing for an implant or need an in-depth look at your jaw and bone health, Cone Beam CT scans play a critical role in your oral care journey.
