Advanced 3D Diagnostics for Dental Care in Indianapolis IN

A CBCT is performed in a similar manner to a panoramic radiograph, but can capture up to 200 images compiled into a single 3D image in less than a minute. CBCT scans use significantly less radiation than traditional CT scans. Dr. Foss recommends a CBCT scan for all patients prior to dental implant placement. CBCT scans are also a great resource for determining other potential dental issues such as tooth decay, bone loss, abnormal growths, facial fractures, periodontal infections, irregularities of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and problems with the tooth roots or dental pulp.
