A CT Scan is a highly advanced scanning device used in dental implant examinations. It emits only a minimal level of radiation while giving a clear, high-resolution image with which the dental implant dentist asses. Special X-ray equipment takes multiple images which are rendered together to create a full 3D image. The scanning is non-invasive and takes only a few minutes.

CT Scans take all of the inaccuracies and guess work out of dental implant surgery. The information and 3D images produced by the scan allow us to confidentially assess your bone architecture, the volume and density of the jawbone, and the location of the nerves and sinus cavities.

The quality and quantity of the bone will help to determine the type of dental implant treatment, and the imaging will help us to identify all of the possibilities for implant positioning and alignment.

CT Scans have many benefits and can help with many aspects of the dental implant procedure. The accurate information and mapping that they provide help with:

1. Diagnosis of bone architecture, density, and volume.
2. Helps decide type of implant.
3. Helps foresee any complications or restrictions.
4. Helps map exact placement, positioning, and alignment of implants.
5. Virtual placement of dental implants using software gives accurate simulation of surgery.
6. CT scans help us to create the perfect implants to match your mouth.

CT Scans are one of the most exciting advancements ever for dental implant procedures. They give more accuracy and comfort than ever before and are yet another reason why dental implants are fast becoming the favorite for the treatment of missing teeth.
