What Is a CBCT Scan and How Is It Used?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains the benefits of CBCT technology, a 3D imaging tool that enhances the precision of dental treatments like implant placements and extractions. Learn how this advanced scan ensures optimal treatment planning and schedule your free consultation today to see how it can benefit your dental care.

Our office is equipped with CBCT technology, a 3D Cone Beam CT scan that provides highly detailed images of your mouth and supporting structures. This advanced imaging allows us to plan treatments with exceptional accuracy, ensuring precision in procedures such as dental implant placement, extractions—including wisdom tooth extractions—and other surgical treatments.

The CBCT scan helps us assess bone volume, determine the appropriate implant size, and ensure we avoid vital structures during treatment. The process is quick and noninvasive—you simply sit in a chair while the machine rotates around your head, capturing a complete 3D image in seconds.

This technology has become an essential tool in modern dentistry, particularly for implant procedures. It allows us to evaluate bone density, determine the best treatment options, and provide stable, long-lasting solutions for tooth replacement and other dental needs.
