When it comes to the comprehensive
treatment of your teeth, imaging technology has played a fundamental role in
the realm of oral surgery. Being that oral surgeons, by definition, deal with
the anatomy of surrounding structures and tissues, being able to see below the
surface and what is visible to the eye is essential when it comes to successful
treatment.
Previously,
imaging technology has been a limiting factor in the ability of doctors to
identify and treat complex oral health issues. The advent of X-ray films
brought a host of new information to dental professionals, and even more so
when digital imaging became a staple feature of dental practices. These
developments have provided health care professionals with even more information
to accurately diagnose and treat complex issues of the teeth. We can now learn
even more information pertaining to the location of nerves and other anatomy
that could impact treatment.
While all these resources have been an invaluable
part of the evolution of dental treatment, they have not come without
drawbacks; namely, until now all dental imaging technologies have been 2-D,
which offers only an incomplete portion of the big picture. In one image, all
may look well, but moving the camera even a little may unearth more problems
that were impossible to see in the first image. This is why our practice is so
proud to offer the cutting-edge Cone Beam Computed Tomography’, or CBCT technology and offer our patients seamless diagnoses and treatment options.
Cone
Beam technology offers the most significant imaging technology breakthrough in
a decade by providing us with a comprehensive 3-D image of your mouth….all you
need to know is: this means we can see everything! For the first time, with a
single X-ray we can produce a 360° image that is virtually free of distortion.
This allows us to have an extremely high rate of accurate detection, diagnosis,
and treatment with little hassle to the patient. As compared to past methods,
we are proud to be able to offer the level of service CBCT allows us to bring
you.
We
know this stuff can be a little dense! As the patient, what it is most
important for you to understand is how we can better treat you thanks to new
technology available in our practice.
Cone
Beam technology marks a new era for health care providers, and we are excited
to be one of the oral surgery practices that can bring its benefits directly to
you. When you’re in pain or dealing with treatment options, you don’t want a
complicated process for diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately, with our access
to advanced medical equipment, we can ease the process and will have you
leaving our office happy and healthy.
