What Is a CBCT and How Is It Used in Dentistry?
In this video, Dr. Lilian Jaime explains how 3D imaging changes diagnosis, planning, and treatment accuracy.
A CBCT scan is a very helpful diagnostic tool because it provides detailed, three-dimensional information that regular X-rays cannot.
It allows us to see exactly how much bone is available for implant placement, evaluate the health of tooth roots, and locate nerves, which is especially important for procedures like root canal therapy and implant placement. It can also reveal fractures or issues that may not show up on standard X-rays.
When we combine CBCT imaging with digital scanning, we can plan treatments and smile designs with much greater accuracy. Using these tools together helps us create safer, more precise treatment plans and achieve a higher success rate for your dental care.
