How 3D CT Scanning Enhances Your Dental Treatment

Unlike traditional X-rays, which provide only two-dimensional images, 3D CT scanning offers a comprehensive, three-dimensional view of your oral structures. This advanced imaging allows us to assess complex cases with greater accuracy, making it an essential tool for various treatments, including dental implants, orthodontics, and more.

When Do We Use 3D CT Scanning?

3D CT scanning is beneficial in a variety of dental procedures and conditions:

  • Dental Implants: For implant placement, 3D CT scans allow us to evaluate bone density, structure, and precise positioning. This planning step ensures that implants are placed accurately, reducing recovery time and enhancing long-term success. Learn more about our dental implant services.
  • Orthodontics: 3D scans help us plan orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign, by providing detailed images of teeth alignment and jaw structure. Explore Invisalign options here.
  • Sleep Apnea and TMJ Issues: In cases of sleep apnea or TMJ disorders, 3D CT scanning allows us to examine airways and jaw joints in detail, helping us create effective treatment plans, including sleep appliances and Botox for TMJ. Discover our sleep appliances here.

The 3D CT Scanning Process at Hendricks Family Dentistry

Our 3D CT scanning process is quick, painless, and ensures a comfortable experience for our patients:

  1. Preparation: Before the scan, we will explain the process and answer any questions you may have to ensure you are comfortable.
  2. Scanning: The scan itself only takes a few minutes. As the scanner rotates around your head, it captures a comprehensive set of images that combine to create a 3D model of your oral structures.
  3. Reviewing Results: Once the scan is complete, we can review the images immediately. This allows us to discuss your diagnosis and treatment plan with you during your visit.
