3D X-Rays (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) In Burlington

At Appleby Dental Professionals, we provide Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), also known as 3D X-rays, which is a specialized medical imaging technique that provides highly detailed three-dimensional images of the internal structures of the mouth.

• Implant Planning: At Appleby Dental Professionals clinic CBCT is widely used for precise planning of dental implants. It allows our dentists to assess bone density, volume, and quality, helping determine the optimal location and angle for implant placement.
• Oral Surgery: CBCT provides detailed views of the jaws, teeth, and surrounding structures, aiding in the planning and execution of complex oral surgeries, such as impacted wisdom tooth extractions or orthognathic (jaw) surgery.
• Endodontics: In root canal treatments, CBCT can help our dentists visualize the root canal system’s anatomy, increasing the chances of successful treatment.

Advantages of 3D Digital X-Rays

• High Resolution: CBCT produces highly detailed, 3D images, allowing for precise assessment and treatment planning.

• Low Radiation Exposure: While CBCT involves X-rays, the radiation exposure is typically lower than traditional medical CT scans, making it a safer option for our dentists and maxillofacial imaging.

• Non-Invasive: CBCT is non-invasive and painless, making it well-tolerated by patients.
