A thorough and in-depth dental exam takes about one hour and includes state of the art 3D imaging and high-resolution photos of all the teeth. Why? Would you consider getting a knee or hip replacement without an MRI or a CT Scan? Probably not.
Similarly, a proper and extensive dental exam should be taken seriously. We use advanced technology and 3D imaging because this gives you a correct diagnosis with no margin for error.
It also ensures that you are totally informed of all of your treatment options.
Another important aspect to consider is that a 3D CT scan provides a three-dimensional image of the mouth. This is much more detailed than traditional, flat dental x-rays such as bitewings or a panoramic scan.
A 3D scan is fast and provides much better information for a higher standard of care.
We have integrated 3D tomography scanning in our clinic
The scanning process takes less than 10 seconds and provides our doctors with three-dimensional, cross-sectional views of existing teeth, bone, and nerves.
Of course, if you are looking for dental implants and surgical procedures, then 3D scanning is even more important. This scan takes just a few short moments to load and is soon ready for diagnosis.
The specially integrated software allows our specialist to check the best areas of bone for implant placement. If bone graft and tissue regeneration are needed, it’s decided with the use of these images.
The software also allows us to place virtual implants, choosing their length, diameter, and exact position.
We personalize every treatment plan and can offer different options if the first doesn’t fit with your plans.
Advantages of 3D CT scanning
- Examine cross-sections of a patient’s bone structure to analyze the quality, volume, and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implant
- Determine all possible treatment approaches with risk factors for each individual patient
- Analyse if there are abscesses, bone loss, or other issues to deal with.
- Locate the precise placement and depth of implants
- Determine the proper type and size of the implants
- Locate and avoid sensitive areas such as nerves and sinuses
- Less radiation compared to a medical CT Scan
