What Is Cone Beam CT (3D Imaging)?
Cone Beam CT (CBCT), which stands for cone-beam computed tomography, is a cutting-edge technology that produces 3D images of patient’s jawbone, teeth, sinuses and nerve in just a single scan with the best image quality currently available in the field. This unique type of x-ray is frequently used to aid in dental implant surgery or sinus lift surgery. It helps our dentists to make more accurate diagnoses and provide an effective and predictable treatment plan with high-definition 3D images.
