At Epident, our commitment to excellence in dental care is exemplified by our investment in cutting-edge technology. We believe that achieving successful treatment outcomes relies on using the most advanced diagnostic tools available. By obtaining high-resolution and detailed 3D images, we can develop precise treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Our practice utilizes one of the most advanced CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography) imaging systems to obtain the sharpest 3D diagnostic films while exposing patients to the lowest level of radiation. This state-of-the-art technology ensures that we can deliver the highest standard of care with minimal discomfort and maximum precision.
Our approach to diagnostic imaging is driven by the understanding that comprehensive and detailed information allows us to provide exceptional care. CBCT technology stands out due to its ability to generate three-dimensional images of hard tissues, such as teeth and bones.
With the advanced and versatile capabilities provided by our CBCT imaging system, it’s quick, safe, and comfortable to obtain detailed 3D views of a patient's teeth, jaws, and surrounding anatomy. This technology captures multiple angles with exceptional clarity.
The ability to view high-resolution 3D images provides dentists with more information than traditional X-rays alone. These images give us the tools needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, allowing us to identify issues that might otherwise go undetected.
One of the key advantages of CBCT is its capacity to reveal intricate details of the oral and maxillofacial region in a non-invasive manner. For example, it can show the location and extent of lesions or cysts with remarkable accuracy. This level of detail is crucial for planning complex procedures such as dental implant placement.
The precision offered by CBCT scans makes them invaluable in the field of dental implants. By providing a comprehensive view of the jawbone structure, these scans help us determine the optimal placement for implants, ensuring stability and longevity.
Before implant surgery, CBCT images allow us to measure bone density and identify any anatomical structures that might interfere with the procedure. This detailed information is essential for creating a personalized treatment plan that maximizes success rates and minimizes risks.
The integration of CBCT technology in dental implantology has revolutionized how we approach tooth replacement. It ensures that implants are placed with utmost accuracy, leading to better outcomes and enhanced patient satisfaction.
CBCT scans also play a pivotal role in orthodontics. By offering a detailed view of the teeth and jaws, these scans enable us to create highly effective treatment plans for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues.
Orthodontists use CBCT images to assess the position and alignment of teeth, as well as the relationship between the upper and lower jaws. This comprehensive evaluation helps in designing braces or aligners that deliver precise and efficient results.
The detailed information provided by CBCT scans allows orthodontists to identify hidden dental issues, such as impacted teeth or bone abnormalities, which may not be visible on traditional X-rays. This ensures a more thorough and accurate diagnosis, leading to better treatment outcomes.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jawbone to the skull and is essential for functions such as chewing and speaking. Disorders affecting this joint can cause significant discomfort and affect daily life.
CBCT scans are instrumental in diagnosing TMJ disorders by providing clear, three-dimensional images of the joint. These images help us identify any abnormalities or misalignments that may be causing pain or dysfunction.
The detailed views offered by CBCT technology allow for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. This ensures that patients receive the most appropriate care to alleviate their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
In cases of dental trauma or injuries, quick and accurate diagnosis is crucial. CBCT scans provide detailed images of broken teeth, displaced roots, and bone fractures, enabling us to assess the extent of damage and develop an effective treatment plan.
The non-invasive nature of CBCT technology makes it ideal for evaluating dental injuries without causing additional discomfort to the patient. The high-resolution images allow us to identify hidden fractures or soft tissue injuries that might not be visible on standard X-rays.
This comprehensive evaluation ensures that we can provide prompt and appropriate care, minimizing long-term complications and restoring oral health as quickly as possible.
At Epident, our investment in advanced CBCT technology reflects our dedication to providing the highest standard of dental care. By leveraging this cutting-edge diagnostic tool, we can offer precise treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. This commitment to excellence ensures that patients receive the best possible outcomes and enjoy optimal oral health.
