What is the CBCT scanner used for?

Unlike traditional x-rays which only offer a 2D image, a cone beam CT scan provides our dentist with more detailed and accurate information about your teeth, roots, gums, nerves and more, and how they all work together.
This allows us to provide a more accurate and detailed diagnosis, as well as being able to provide treatment plans for a large range of dental issues, including root canals, oral surgery, orthodontics, TMJ disorders and more.
When is a cone beam CT scan necessary?
There are several reasons why you may need to get a CBCT scan, including for dental implants, as well as surgical tooth extractions. Other common reasons include scanning for:
- Orthodontic treatment; dental implants

- Teeth
