What is a 3D Digital CT Scan?
A 3D Digital CT Scan gives us an in-depth, comprehensive view of your mouth, including your teeth, jawbone, jaw joint, and the sinuses. It gives us valuable information about a variety of oral conditions, including:
- Position of wisdom teeth
- Jaw-joint problems
- Sinus problems
- Receding bone levels resulting from periodontal disease
- Abscesses
- Dental implant planning, and positioning to avoid vital structures
- Possible Cysts / Tumors of the jaws
- Canal anatomy of teeth
Advantages over 2D Imaging (Panoramic)
- More information – in 3D – showing the exact position of nerves, sinuses and other vital structures
- Better planning – quality and quantity of bone can be assessed
- Improved detail
- More conservative treatment
Fast & Comfortable 2D or 3D Imaging Volume
- Takes 10 seconds
- No gagging
- Able to take extra-oral bitewings - for those patients unable to tolerate sensors in their mouth.
