How Cone Beam 3D Imaging Works
At Parmer Oaks Dental, we ensure that your experience with Cone Beam 3D Imaging is efficient and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Assessment
Our dentist will perform an initial assessment to determine if Cone Beam 3D Imaging is necessary for your diagnosis or treatment plan. This technology is typically used for complex cases where traditional X-rays are insufficient.
Imaging Procedure
The imaging process involves several steps:
- Preparation: You will be positioned in the Cone Beam CT scanner, and instructions will be provided to ensure proper alignment.
- Scanning: The scanner rotates around your head, capturing multiple images from different angles. The entire process takes only a few seconds.
- Image Processing: The captured images are processed to create a detailed 3D model of your dental structures, which can be viewed and analyzed by our dentist.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
The 3D images provide our dentist with a comprehensive view of your teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. This information is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning for various dental procedures.
