At our dental office, we are committed to providing the highest quality care using the latest technology. One of the advanced tools we use is cone beam imaging. This state-of-the-art technology enables us to capture detailed three-dimensional images of your teeth, soft tissues, jaw and surrounding structures with remarkable precision and clarity.
Cone beam imaging is invaluable for various dental treatments. It allows our dentist to accurately plan and place dental implants, ensuring optimal positioning and integration with your jawbone. We also use this imaging technology to evaluate the alignment of your jaw and teeth, aiding in the diagnosis and planning of orthodontic treatments. This comprehensive view helps us identify issues such as tooth decay, damage or other oral health conditions that might not be visible with traditional X-rays.
Additionally, cone beam imaging is crucial for assessing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. By examining the intricate structures of your jaw, our dentist can develop effective treatment plans to alleviate pain and improve function. This technology also assists in detecting signs of facial trauma and examining areas like the head, neck and nasal cavity, providing a thorough assessment of your overall oral health.
One of the significant benefits of cone beam imaging is its efficiency. The imaging process is quick and comfortable, and the detailed images are immediately available for review. This enables us to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan promptly.
