Cone beam technology provides Dr. Iranmanesh with an accurate and three-dimensional, digital image of structures beneath the surface of the teeth and gums. This unprecedented view includes teeth roots, internal canals, and bone structure. CBCT (Cone-Beam Computed Tomography) scans are similar in detail to traditional medical CTs, but are taken in a fraction of the time. Since the scan takes only seconds, your radiation exposure will be drastically reduced when compared to a traditional CT scan.
With the cone beam's precision scans, we no longer rely on two-dimensional X-rays for diagnosis and treatment planning. Dr. Iranmanesh is better equipped to diagnose and surgically perform the following:
- Implants – Place dental implants more precisely, making the surgery less exploratory and invasive: reduced trauma to surrounding tissue means that you can recover more quickly after the procedure
- Bone Grafts – Plan bone grafting treatment
- Wisdom Teeth – Review the exact location of the mandibular nerve for complicated wisdom teeth cases
- Orthodontics – Coordinate treatment planning for orthodontic cases involving exposure of un-erupted or supernumerary teeth
- Pain – Uncover the cause of a patient's previously undiagnosed pain
- TMJ – Pinpoint disorders of your TMJs (tempormandibular joints) that cause headaches, teeth clenching or grinding (bruxism), or other serious issues that can negatively impact your oral health
Since you'll have access to the cone beam technology in our office you won't need a referral to a radiology lab. Your scans, diagnosis, and treatment will be conveniently centralized on site. When we see the detailed 3D renderings of your teeth and jaw, treatment can be more targeted and, thus, more effective. We can also coordinate with your dentist more efficiently and accurately.
The benefits of using our in-office CT scanner:
- Accurate – Superior 3-D image improves diagnosis and treatment planning, which ultimately enhance the predictability of treatment outcomes.
- Convenient – No need to make appointment in hospital or radiograph clinics. No hardship in commuting and communication between different offices.
- Fast and Comfortable – It takes about 20 seconds for each scan.
- Lower Dosage – Significantly less radiation than a medical CT scan.
- Lower Cost – Patients pay a discounted price in comparison to other CT centers.
