There’s a new way to take x-rays of your mouth structure, and it’s being heralded as one of the most technologically advanced dentistry products to hit the market. One of these latest and greatest products is the Dental Cone Beam CT 3D Scan. It’s revolutionized the industry in a major way. It’s able to duplicate the same images that are similar to ones that are produced by traditional CT imaging. Our office in Norwalk, OH likes to empower our patients with options, and this is one of the best available. What used to take a few procedures or longer to accomplish can now be safely done in just a single visit. If you’d like to learn more about this latest technology, do us a favor and read on!

What Is Dental Cone Beam CT?

It sounds like some sort of robot from the future. It’s futuristic technology for sure, only not of the robot kind. The kicker is it generates 3D images of your dental structures. That’s right — a 3D look inside of your mouth. Along with your dental structures, we’re able to see your soft tissues, nerve paths and bones scattered throughout your craniofacial region. This allows for more precise treatment planning so you can get the treatment you need fast. This machine is less bulky than those of the past and is much less expensive.

When you talk about benefits, this machine has it all. The state-of-the-art technology has made dentist’s jobs way easier and allows for precise treatment. It also does all of this:

• Produces many different views from various angles
• Each image can be manipulated with the touch of a button
• More data is provided with each scan
• It can take a dual image of bone and soft tissue simultaneously
• There is zero radiation left over after a CT scan

This is the way of the future. Long gone are traditional methods that leave radiation in the body and other ailments. This is the future our children will enjoy. These are the kinds of products that help advance dentistry into the next few decades.
