One tool that we use at Timberwood Dental that has revolutionized dental diagnostics is Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This non-invasive imaging technique provides detailed 3D views of the oral and maxillofacial region, offering unparalleled insights for comprehensive dental care.
CBCT is invaluable in various dental scenarios. If you are considering dental implants, CBCT aids in precise planning by offering detailed images of bone structure and density. It is crucial for evaluating impacted teeth, diagnosing TMJ disorders and planning orthodontic treatments. In cases of complex dental issues, CBCT provides a comprehensive understanding, guiding our dentist in making informed decisions.
What to Expect
When undergoing a CBCT scan, you can expect a comfortable and quick procedure. You will be positioned appropriately, and the scanner will rotate around your head to capture detailed images. The process is painless, and within minutes, we will have access to high-quality 3D images for accurate diagnosis.
Benefits of CBCT
The benefits of CBCT extend beyond traditional X-rays. The detailed imaging allows for precise treatment planning, minimizing the risk of complications. The 3D visualization enhances diagnostic capabilities, leading to more accurate diagnoses. With CBCT, Dr. Cody Spencer can tailor treatments to your specific needs, ensuring optimal outcomes for your dental health.
