Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

Cone beam computed tomography, widely recognized as CBCT, has transformed dental imaging. Unlike traditional X-rays, this safe and painless medical imaging technique captures three-dimensional images of your teeth, bone structure, and soft tissues. This allows to diagnose and treat dental issues more accurately.

At Falls Endodontics, we use cone beam CT imaging to ensure we provide our patients with the highest level of care. We aim for the gold standard of dentistry, and a CBCT scanner helps us get there.

What Makes CBCT Different From Traditional X-Rays?

The primary difference lies in the technology. Traditional X-rays produce two-dimensional images, while cone beam CT captures a 360-degree view. It creates a detailed three-dimensional representation of the teeth and jaw. Imagine seeing the surface and internal structure – that’s the power of cone beam CT.

CBCT boasts superior image quality and spatial resolution compared to traditional X-rays. This means clearer images with finer details, aiding in the early detection of dental problems. And despite its advanced capabilities, CBCT delivers a significantly lower radiation dose, helping our team at Falls Endodontics prioritize patient safety.
