Cone Beam CT Scans
A key to the safety and success of complex dental surgery is advanced radiography. Cone beam digital CT scanning allows Dr. Carbonaro to take 3-Dimensional, low radiation, high-resolution CT scans of your facial anatomy. He can then view these images from different angles, take precise measurements, and easily share 3-D data with other doctors.
Cone beam imaging is ideal for patient comfort. It offers an “open-environment” design that reduces anxiety, while images can be taken in as little as 8.5 seconds, limiting discomfort and exposure to radiation.
Precision Implant Placement
A key to dental implant safety and success is advanced radiography. A CT scan ensures that every possible precaution has been made to reduce the risk of involvement of the nerves in the lower jaw, and the sinuses and nose in the upper jaw. This helps to reduce chair time and the possibility of complications. Until recently, CT scans were only done in hospitals or medical facilities.
