Cone Beam CT

In addition to two dimensional digital radiography,Centrepoint Oral and Facial Surgery offers an exciting modern imaging modality known as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT is a type of three dimensional scan of the jaw and teeth which provides accurate and detailed images. Dr. Girn may recommend a CBCT under certain circumstances if he believes the scan would provide information that would improve your care. A typical example is implant and bone graft treatment planning. Taking a CBCT scan is similar to getting another well-known x-ray known as a panorex. It takes less than 30 seconds to obtain a CBCT scan, and within minutes you can review the findings with Dr. Girn on a monitor.
