CBCT

Dental Imaging And Diagnosis With CBCT In St. Petersburg

Advanced imaging helps evaluate your facial structures and teeth from every angle. This technology generates high-quality dental scans in color and even three-dimensional. Alongside diagnosing your oral condition, CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) helps customize your dental care.

Creating Smiles Dental is equipped with the new CBCT imaging machine to analyze your problems and track treatment progress accurately. This 3D technology allows Dr. Cindy N Brayer to visualize the anatomical details of patients’ mouths and prepare treatment plans. Whether you seek routine checkups or advanced treatment, our CBCT imaging system ensures innovative, patient-focused care in a relaxing setup.

What Is The Role Of CBCT In Dentistry?

The Cone Beam CT scanner is an X-ray machine used in dental diagnosis when regular imaging is inadequate. It employs a technology that generates images of oral structures, soft tissues, bones, jaws, and teeth in a single scan. Our dentists use this scanning system to view your teeth and perform many diagnoses, saving time and reducing dental visits. The CBCT scanner captures high-definition images by rotating 360 degrees around your head. These scans are utilized to create precise treatment plans for implants, Invisalign, and custom oral appliances.

Key Areas Where CBCT Scans Help

This versatile 3D digital imaging technology is used in several treatments, which include the following:

  • Orthodontics: CBCT assists in developing accurate treatment regimens for Invisalign or braces by offering a thorough picture of the jaw anatomy. It enables quick evaluation of dental alignment problems and monitors development over time with unparalleled precision.

  • TMJ Disorders: Cone Beam technology provides precise pictures of the temporomandibular joint. This allows for precise diagnosis and focused treatment for individuals with jaw pain or dysfunction.

  • Sleep Apnea: Diagnosing and treating sleep apnea becomes easy with a visual representation of the airway architecture. CBCT scanners assist in developing specialized oral appliances to increase airflow and improve sleep quality.

  • Root Canal Therapy: The intricate root canal anatomy is revealed by 3D imaging technology, guaranteeing that diseased areas are thoroughly treated to minimize complications.
