How CBCT (3D Scanning) Works
CBCT scanning uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to capture multiple images of your teeth and jaw from different angles. These images are then compiled into a 3D model, offering detailed insights that traditional dental X-rays cannot provide.
With Vatech GreenX 3D imaging, our team can:
- Evaluate bone structure and density for dental implant restoration planning.
- Assess the condition of existing restorations, such as dental crowns or dental bridges.
- Identify potential airway issues related to sleep apnea treatment.
- Detect hidden dental issues, such as fractures, infections, and cysts.
This technology provides a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional medical CT scans, using lower radiation doses while delivering highly accurate results.
