The mouth is a complex array of bone, nerves, soft tissue, muscles, and ligaments, and most of it is hidden beneath skin and bone. Because of this, dental X-rays aren’t always enough to see everything beneath the surface. When a deeper problem is suspected, specialized imaging techniques like this allow us to properly diagnose the problem and create a comprehensive treatment plan.

In fact, a large part of successful treatment outcomes involve careful planning before the actual procedure, and CBCT scans allow us to do just that. Since a CBCT scan shows all your bones, nerves, and soft tissues in extreme detail, it allows us to establish our approach before we even begin the procedure. Overall, this means you are more likely to have a successful outcome.
