CONE-BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CBCT)
Three-Dimensional Advanced Imaging
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, or CBCT for short, is a type of low-dose CT scan that allows us to visualize your teeth and jaws in 3-dimensions. This advanced imaging technology has markedly improved our ability to diagnose and treat several dental and jaw problems. Dental CBCT units have been optimized to make high quality images of the teeth and jaws. Dental CBCT examinations expose patients to considerably less radiation than the medical-grade CT scans performed in hospital settings. Upon request, copies of CBCT images can be provided on CD to the patient and/or referring doctors as needed via postal mail.
Full Radiology Report Available
For an additional fee of $75, a board-certified, dual-trained Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist and attorney (DDS, JD) can review the CBCT scan and provide a full written radiology report, which is to include patient information and a description of any pertinent radiographic findings.
