What Is Dental CT or X-ray Scan?
A Dental CT or CBCT scan uses advanced scanning technology to create a 3D image of your mouth, jaws, and surrounding areas. This X-ray-based scan captures images from different angles to provide a complete 360° view.
The cone-beam scanner can detect issues in areas such as your teeth and gums, mouth, neck, sinuses, oral nerves, ears, nose, and throat.
Is Dental X-ray Scan Safe?
Dental CT or CBCT scans are generally safe when performed correctly and carry a low dose of radiation.
What Tools Are Used for Dental X-Rays at Gentle Dental?
At Gentle Dental, we use the SCANORA® 3D digital Cone Beam dental X-ray to get a clear view of jaw and facial anatomy. This advanced imaging helps us solve diagnostic issues more effectively.
With Cone Beam 3D imaging, we can easily adjust the image layer, angle, and type of view after we take the scan. This flexibility allows us to focus on exactly what we need to see.
Compared to traditional imaging methods, this technology produces high-resolution panoramic dental images. As a result, we can closely examine all the important details in the area we are diagnosing. This helps us offer our patients better care and more accurate dental treatment plans.
