CT Scanning

CT Dental Scanning is one of the newest technologies available at the best dental practices today, and are used to help create a dental blueprint of your mouth prior to performing advanced dental procedures.

CT stand for computed tomography, and allows for a superior and detailed three-dimensional image.  It can be examined from every angle, allowing your dentist to see details such as the location of nerves and sinuses before starting a complex dental procedure. If your dentist is  inserting implants or performing oral surgery, the superior detail presented by a CT Scan can help avoid serious complications.

This is definitely a situation where the more detailed information that is available before hand is a desirable good thing.  You can rest assured that your dentist is using the best in technology to assure you will receive the ultimate results.  If  the dental practice that you use does not offer this service, you might want to ask why or consider finding another dental practice.  Not everyone will need to use a three dimensional CT scan, but isn’t it nice to know it is there if you do need it?

Since  there are some concerns about radiation exposure when using this CT scan, a thorough exam will help determine whether your situation will benefit from it. An informed patient is the best way to help you achieve maximum results from any dental procedure.
