When your periodontist evaluates you for dental implants, they might request a CBCT scan. If it’s your first time getting one, you might have these questions:
Our periodontists at BK Dental are here to answer any questions you have about CBCT scans and why we use them.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems in dentistry are a type of 3D X-ray technology that gives detailed images of teeth, jaws, and nearby structures all at once. CBCT is often used in implant planning because it provides a clear picture of the bone structure. This clarity is important for determining the best location for placing implants.
You might know about full mouth X-rays (FMX) or panoramic X-rays (PANO) from your dentist.
Usually taken every 3-5 years by your dentist. It shows images of each tooth and surrounding structures used to diagnose gum disease, cavities, dental abscesses, and lesions.
A single picture used mostly by oral surgeons and orthodontists but lacks detailed information.
