3D imaging
Why is a 3D scan (CBCT) needed before implants?
A CBCT scan gives your implant dentist a three-dimensional view of your jawbone, nerves and sinuses before treatment is planned.
That detail helps us place implants safely, avoid vital structures and keep treatment and recovery as smooth as possible.
Planning
Detailed images for careful planning
CBCT scans provide highly detailed images used to plan implant treatment, so implants can be positioned precisely while avoiding nerves and sinuses.
This precision can reduce discomfort and support healing, and lowers the risk of nerve injury near the lower back teeth and of problems with the sinuses above the upper back teeth.
Complete imaging also helps treatment run more efficiently, which can mean less time in the chair.
In short
A 3D scan lets us
- See bone height, width and quality before any surgery
- Place implants precisely while avoiding nerves, blood vessels and sinuses
- Plan surgical guides for accurate, minimally invasive placement
- Reduce chair time, discomfort and healing time
