Dental CBCT
At Pulse Dental,we’re proud to feature Dental CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography ) as part of our advanced dental imaging services.we’re committed to offering our patients the highest standard of dental care, which is why  CBCT technology represents a significant leap forward in dental diagnostics, enabling us to provide more accurate, efficient, and comprehensive dental care.
What is Dental CBCT?
CBCT is an advanced imaging method that produces 3D images of your teeth, jaw, nerve pathways, and soft tissues all in a single scan. Unlike traditional dental X-rays, CBCT gives us a three-dimensional view, offering unparalleled detail and clarity that is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Benefits of Using Dental CBCT
Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy
Dental CBCT imaging provides us with a detailed view of your dental anatomy from various angles, significantly improving our ability to diagnose and treat a wide range of dental conditions with greater precision.
Improved Treatment Planning
With the comprehensive information obtained from CBCT scans, we can plan treatments more effectively. This is particularly beneficial for procedures such as dental implants, orthodontics, root canals, and jaw surgery, where precise anatomical information is crucial.
Minimally Invasive
The detailed imagery provided by CBCT allows for more targeted treatment, often resulting in less invasive procedures and faster recovery times for our patients.
Quick and Comfortable Scans
CBCT scans are quick, typically completed in under a minute. The process is non-invasive and painless, with the scanner rotating around your head to capture images from different angles.
Our Commitment to Safety
While CBCT technology does involve radiation, we strictly adhere to the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle to minimize exposure. Our state-of-the-art CBCT system is designed to use the lowest effective dose of radiation, ensuring patient safety without compromising the quality of diagnostic information.
Applications of Dental CBCT
CBCT technology has a wide range of applications in dentistry, including but not limited to:
- Implantology: Precise planning and placement of dental implants.
- Orthodontics: Assessment of teeth and jaw alignment.
- Endodontics: Detailed evaluation of root canals and surrounding bone structure.
- Oral Surgery: Planning of surgical procedures with minimal risk.
- TMJ Analysis: Detailed examination of the temporomandibular joint.
Our investment in CBCT technology is a testament to our dedication to providing the best possible care to our patients. By integrating advanced diagnostic tools like CBCT, we ensure that your dental health is in the best hands.
We invite you to experience the difference that advanced technology and personalized care can make in your dental treatment. Contact us today to learn more about how CBCT imaging can benefit you.
FAQ
Yes, Dental CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging is generally considered safe. It uses a lower dose of radiation compared to traditional medical CT scans, focusing the beam to capture detailed images of the dental structures and surrounding bone with minimal exposure. The technology is specifically designed to maximize patient safety while providing high-resolution images essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. As with any medical imaging involving radiation. Dental professionals are trained to use CBCT technology safely and effectively, adhering to guidelines that minimize exposure for patients.
Whether dental insurance covers dental CBCT scans can vary widely depending on the specific insurance policy and the medical necessity of the scan. Many dental insurance plans may cover CBCT scans if they are deemed necessary for complex dental procedures such as implant planning, surgical interventions, or certain types of orthodontic evaluations. However, coverage can differ based on the terms of the individual policy, the dental issue at hand, and the insurance provider’s guidelines
The cost of dental CBCT without insurance is usually run between $200-$250.Â
Our practice utilizes CBCT technology across a wide range of dental specialties, including:
- Implantology: For precise placement of dental implants, considering the bone structure and anatomical landmarks.
- Orthodontics: To assess tooth orientation and bone structure, aiding in the planning of orthodontic treatments.
- Endodontics: In identifying root canal issues and visualizing complex root structures.
- Oral Surgery: Assisting in the planning of surgical procedures with a clear understanding of the spatial relationships and density of jaw bone.
