At Edge Endodontics, we’re excited to share how CBCT scans are transforming endodontic care in Austin!
What is a CBCT Scan?
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scans capture detailed 3D images of your teeth, roots, and surrounding structures with unparalleled precision and clarity. This advanced technology greatly enhances our endodontist’s ability to diagnose, evaluate, and treat your tooth. The process is quick, non-invasive, and uses a lower radiation dose compared to traditional CT scans, ensuring your comfort and safety (FDA, 2021).
CBCT Scans vs. Traditional X-rays
While traditional X-rays provide useful 2D images for detecting cavities and examining tooth roots, CBCT scans offer a comprehensive 3D view ideal for complex endodontic cases (NCBI, 2022). This advanced technology is perfect for planning and performing root canal treatments, assessing cracked teeth, and diagnosing other intricate dental issues. At Edge Endodontics, our use of CBCT scans enhances our ability to provide first-class care for root canal treatments and
other endodontic procedures. The detailed images help us precisely locate canals, detect fractures, and assess the overall health of your teeth, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients seeking endodontics in Austin (RadiologyInfo, 2022).
At Edge Endodontics, we prioritize your smile by incorporating advanced technologies like the CBCT scan into our practice. Our dedicated team ensures you receive the best care with the latest innovations in endodontics. If you have questions or want to schedule an appointment, contact us today. We’re here to guide you on your journey to optimal oral health.
