Cone Beam Tomography (CBT-SCAN)
CBT Scans are the most advanced imaging technique available today for the 3 Dimensional evaluation of the teeth and jaws. Achieving the same level of imaging ability of the conventional medical CT Scans, they provide the dentist with exceptionally accurate and detailed information for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes. These scans are used extensively in our clinics for implant treatment planning and ensure the safest and most accurate results.
Computer Guided Surgery
Placing implants into the jaw is now a common procedure to replace missing teeth. Methods have been developed using CBT-scan technology to produce surgical guides from the scan to place implants without the need for conventional surgery. This method, where applicable, makes surgery more accurate, less intrusive and decreases post operative discomfort.
