Getting 3D Scans at the Dentist | Schnecksville Dentist

When it’s time to visit the dentist for a checkup, the chances are pretty great that you will be getting some x-rays taken to help your dentist find any issues that may be happening but can help to foresee any issues that may arise in the future.

Cone Beam CT scans, or CBCT, is fast, simple and completely non-invasive technology. These aren’t the x-rays of the past. These 3D scans will give your dentist a computer-generated view of your face, teeth and other important details from various perspectives. By doing this, these scans provide accurate measurements useful for dental implant surgery and other oral appliances. But even more impressively, they can also detect issues in other aspects, like the following:

  • Airway sleep disorders such as sleep apnea
  • TMJ
  • Bone cancer, tumors, or cysts
  • Fractures
  • Tooth root infections, root canals, or other problems with the core of the tooth
  • Gum problems
  • Nasal anatomy, include septum, turbinates and sinuses.

With the CBCT scans system, dentists have a more complete visual guide to study their patient’s case from just about any angle they can think of. Even better is that the scan data is easy to duplicate for storage purposes and to make it easier to send out to different specialists later on. Thanks to the more accurate, high-quality, detailed visual information produced by the imaging system, dentists have all the information they could possibly need to diagnose and plan out the proper course of action. It may seem wild that your dentist will now have these ultra-cool views of your face, but they can look after your health in a more in-depth way.

Seeing Things Clear as Day | Schnecksville Dentist

It may seem like an obvious necessity, but it is important to be able to see clearly when performing dental surgery. Not only is it a tight space, but the inside of your mouth isn’t the most well-lit area our bodies have, so having the proper equipment when we come to see them. Dental surgery is precise, and not a quick process, so it is important to be able to work in a small position for long periods of time. Luckily, dental technology has achieved the ideal product for the dental professional – dental loupes.

You may have seen them on surgical tv shows. Think eyeglasses with microscopes on each lens for additional magnification. Dental loupes are the perfect product to ensure that your dental procedure not only goes as well as possible but keeps the dentist’s eyes from getting weakened as the procedure continues.

It may seem extra, but it is really quite revolutionary. Not only is it easier for the dentist to maneuver through a surgery with ease, but the telescopic lenses make dental surgeries as pain-free as possible. It gives confidence to the surgeon and allows the patient to rest at ease, making it easier to see what needs to be seen without causing fatigue to either party.

We’ve come a long way in our dental technology, but it is all for your benefit. Advanced features will not only make your smile the healthiest it can be, but it can also make your future dental appointments worry-free. So, if you are afraid of the dental chair, relax – we’re here to provide you with the best possible dental care.
