3D Imaging — CBCT Scans
At Babston Oral Surgery, we’re committed to providing our patients with the highest standard of care by utilizing the latest advancements in technology. One of the key tools we use in our practice is Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a state-of-the-art imaging system that enhances precision, improves diagnosis, and ensures better treatment outcomes.
What Is CBCT Technology?
CBCT is a specialized type of 3D imaging that provides highly detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, which offer a flat, two-dimensional view, CBCT scans allow us to see every angle and detail with remarkable clarity. This technology is fast, safe, and delivers crucial information that aids in planning and performing oral surgery procedures.
How We Use CBCT in Oral Surgery
CBCT imaging plays an integral role in many of the procedures we perform, allowing for greater precision and safety:
- Dental Implants: When placing dental implants, accurate positioning is key to long-term success. CBCT helps us assess your bone density and structure, ensuring the implants are placed in the optimal location for stability and function.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: CBCT allows us to evaluate the exact position of wisdom teeth and their relationship to surrounding nerves and sinuses, reducing risks and ensuring a smoother procedure.
- Bone Grafting: For patients needing bone grafting, CBCT provides detailed images of your jawbone, helping us determine the amount of bone needed and the best approach for the graft.
- Pathology and Jaw Issues: If abnormalities, cysts, or other jaw concerns are present, CBCT helps us diagnose and plan treatment with precision, ensuring comprehensive care.
The Benefits of CBCT Technology
By using CBCT technology, we’re able to provide safer, more efficient, and more accurate care. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Accuracy: Detailed 3D imaging allows for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, minimizing risks and improving outcomes.
- Improved Patient Safety: With a clear view of critical anatomical structures, we can perform procedures with greater confidence and reduce the likelihood of complications.
Faster Treatment: CBCT scans are quick and non-invasive, streamlining the diagnostic process so you can move forward with treatment sooner. - Better Communication: We use CBCT images to help you visualize and understand your treatment plan, making the process more transparent and empowering you to make informed decisions.
