Dental Cone Beam CT Austin TX

At Glint, we’re committed to providing our patients with optimal treatment outcomes, which is why we use dental cone beam CT at our Austin TX office. This state-of-the-art imaging technology produces high-resolution 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, allowing us to diagnose and plan treatments with unparalleled accuracy. This technology is particularly useful for planning dental implants, as it allows us to precisely assess bone density. 

We believe investing in advanced technology is essential for providing our patients with the best possible care. Contact us today to schedule an appointment. 

What is a Dental CBCT Scan?

Dental Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is a specialized type of X-ray imaging that produces detailed 3D images of our Austin TX patients’ teeth, jawbones, and surrounding structures. The technology uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam that rotates around your head, capturing multiple images from different angles. The images are then used to create a 3D representation of your mouth and jaw.

Dental CBCT scans offer several benefits over traditional 2D X-rays. The 3D images produced by CBCT scans provide a more detailed view of the teeth, bones, nerves, and soft tissues than traditional X-rays. This enables us to detect and diagnose dental conditions that may not be visible with conventional imaging techniques.

With CBCT scans, we can visualize the exact location and orientation of teeth, bone, and other structures in three dimensions, allowing us to plan treatments with greater precision and accuracy. In addition, dental cone beam CT provides less radiation exposure than traditional X-rays, making them a safer option for our Austin TX patients. They’re also a non-invasive way to diagnose and plan treatments, as they reduce the need for exploratory surgery.
