What Is CBCT?

CBCT stands for Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Systems. The systems use a cone-shaped X-ray beam that will rotate around you to acquire data. The data collected is needed to produce three-dimensional images of your teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose, and throat. The system can capture around 200 images from different angles in less than a minute.

What Are Its Uses?

CBCT system is an extremely useful tool that’s widely used in the United States. Dr. Gressell and our team use dental CBCT systems for various reasons, such as dental implant planning, airway screening, and evaluating jaw joint pain and function.

What Are the Benefits of Using CBCT Systems?

We use the CBCT system because it’s non-invasive and produces fast results giving images that are vital for your diagnosis and treatment. The images released by the system are three-dimensional compared to the two-dimensional images provided by traditional X-ray systems.

The system creates accurate and more detailed images with better quality. It also provides comprehensive information about your oral health. The process is quick, painless and uses a lower radiation dose.
