DENTIST NEAR TUSTIN, SANTA ANA, IRVINE, ORANGE IN CALIFORNIA
We welcome patients from all areas of Orange county to meet our caring dentist team. Our office utilizes the latest state-of-the-art dental equipment and technology ranging from 3-Dimensional intraoral and extraoral imaging technology to modern sterilizing equipment.
3D CONE-BEAM CT SCAN
Our CBCT machine integrates the latest digital technologies while providing outstanding image quality. It reconstructs 3D scan data in just 4 seconds after scanning in 4.9 seconds utilizing extremely low dose of radiation in comparison to other machines! It is one of the fastest scanning machines in the industry. Dental cone bean computed tomography (CBCT) is a special type of x-ray machine which allows to view the teeth/bone/nerve pathways and other parts in and around the oral cavity in three dimensions.
It may be recommended when more vital information is needed for evaluation and your regular dental xrays are not sufficient. Images obtained with cone beam CT allow for more precise treatment planning especially with
- Extraction of wisdom teeth or impacted teeth
- Accurate placement of dental implants
- Evaluation of the jaw, sinuses, nerve canals, tooth orientation
- Evaluation of tooth anatomy in root canal treatment
- Diagnosing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems
The American Dental Association (ADA) and the FDA recommend that clinicians perform dental X-ray examinations, including dental CBCT when necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of disease. The benefit of an accurate diagnosis far outweighs the risk involved with CBCT imaging. Here are further resources for patients about overview of dental CBCT imaging and safety of xrays:
