At Associates In Family Dentistry & Specialists of Greeley, we are committed to providing the highest level of care by using the latest dental technologies. One of the innovative tools we utilize is Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), a powerful imaging technique that enhances the precision of our diagnostics and treatments. This state-of-the-art technology allows Dr. DaNea Graves to obtain detailed three-dimensional images of your dental structures, jaw, and surrounding areas.
What is CBCT?
CBCT is a specialized type of X-ray equipment used when standard dental or facial X-rays are not sufficient. This technology captures comprehensive images that provide a more complete picture of your oral health. The clarity and detail of CBCT images enable us to see the exact positions of your teeth, bones, nerves and other critical structures. This level of detail is particularly beneficial for complex procedures such as dental implants, root canal treatments and orthodontic planning.
Benefits of Using CBCT
When you visit our dentist, you will experience the many benefits of CBCT technology:
- Enhanced accuracy in diagnosing dental issues
- Improved planning for procedures such as implants and extractions
- Reduced need for invasive exploratory surgery
- Lower radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans
- Shorter scanning times, making the process quick and comfortable
By integrating CBCT into our practice, we ensure that our treatments are tailored precisely to your needs. This technology supports our goal of delivering effective, efficient and minimally invasive dental care.
CBCT in Practice
For patients undergoing treatments with the aid of CBCT means a more predictable and streamlined experience. We use the detailed images from CBCT to enhance the success of procedures such as dental implants. The exact placement of implants is crucial for their longevity and functionality. With CBCT, we can plan the procedure down to the finest detail, ensuring optimal results.
Additionally, CBCT helps us identify issues that may not be visible with traditional X-rays. This includes detecting hidden infections, evaluating the quality of the jawbone and planning for complex extractions. The ability to view your dental anatomy in 3D enables us to provide a higher standard of care, reducing the likelihood of complications and improving overall outcomes.
By using CBCT technology in Greeley, Colorado, we can offer you a more accurate diagnosis, better treatment planning and ultimately, a higher level of dental care.
