Have you ever wondered what's going on inside your mouth? CBCT 3D Imaging can help you see your oral structures and jawbone with incredible detail. Dentists use this type of imaging to diagnose and treat various dental and oral health problems. At Roam Dental, we proudly offer the best 3D dental imaging services in Sterling Heights and look forward to serving you! 

What Is CBCT 3D Imaging?

CBCT stands for cone beam computed tomography. The innovative device uses a cone-shaped x-ray beam to create three-dimensional images of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding tissues, with significantly less radiation than traditional x-ray technology. CBCT images are much more detailed than two-dimensional x-rays, which helps Dr. Barbu and his team see things that they would not be able to see otherwise.

CBCT scans provide a wealth of information that helps us reduce the need for invasive procedures, shorten treatment time, and ensure better outcomes. You'll also be able to visualize your mouth and oral structures, allowing you to make informed decisions about your dental care.

What Are the Benefits of CBCT 3D Imaging?

There are many reasons why Dr. Barbu may recommend CBCT 3D imaging. Some of the most common reasons include the following:

  • Diagnosing dental problems: CBCT imaging can help us locate the origin of pain and assist in diagnosing a variety of dental issues, such as cavities, gum issues, lesions, impacted teeth, bone loss, and jawbone abnormalities.
  • Planning dental procedures: CBCT images provide accurate measurements, including the dimensions and shape of the jaw as well as evaluating the soft tissues, sinuses, nerve pathways, and bone structures, which helps us plan dental procedures with precision.
  • Facilitating intricate procedures: CBCT 3D imaging facilitates planning and performing intricate procedures, including placing dental implants, complicated root canals, oral surgery, removing wisdom teeth, sleep apnea treatment, TMJ treatment, and more.
  • Evaluating the results of dental treatment: We use CBCT images to assess the results of dental treatment, such as root canals and implant surgery.

How Is CBCT 3D Imaging Performed?

CBCT 3D imaging is a painless procedure that takes just a few minutes to complete. You will need to stay still while the device rotates around your head, capturing numerous images of your oral structures. The images are then used to create a three-dimensional image of the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding tissues.
