CT Scan: Advanced 3D Dental Imaging

Tremendous advances have been made in the last few years in the field of dental imaging, particularly with 3D dental imaging techniques. Using CT scan technology, we now have the capability to view and plan your dental implant treatment completely in three dimensions! 

By utilizing this new imaging technology, your mouth and teeth can be replicated in a 3-D model. The entire dental implant planning process can be mapped out from start to finish on the computer. 

On the CT scan, we can see: 

• The width and density of your jawbone 

• The exact location of neighboring tooth roots 

• The location of the nerves 

With this detailed information, we can start planning the ideal location for your implants, ensuring the best outcome and even showing you how your implant will look – before treatment begins! We can 'virtually' prepare your treatment to the greatest detail, resulting in a much safer and more comfortable experience.
