Does it really matter whether you visit a dentist who uses updated technology or one who relies primarily on traditional diagnostic and treatment methods? If you have ever asked yourself this question, here are a few of the top ways advanced dental technology in Matthews, NC and Charlotte, NC like the Cone Beam scanning system can improve your dental visits.
Greater Accuracy
The CBCT scan delivers very detailed images with accurate measurements. Using the information from the scans, Dr. Kiya Green is able to come up with precise treatment plans. CBCT technology can be used to assist in dental implant placement, planning oral surgery procedures and evaluating the sinus cavities and nerves.
Lower Dose of Radiation
Regular CT scans and x-rays use more radiation than cutting-edge Cone Beam scans. If you want to minimize your exposure to radiation due to health concerns, the CBCT scan is a better choice.
Faster Scanning Time
It only takes about 20 – 40 seconds to receive a scan of your entire mouth, and less than 10 seconds to scan a specific area of your mouth. That means you can receive your diagnosis and get back to normal life more quickly when advanced technology is used instead of outdated technology.
Affordability
This may come as a surprise, but the high-tech Cone Beam scan is actually less expensive than traditional scans in most cases. If affordable dental care is important to you, visiting a dentist who uses advanced scanning technology may be to your advantage.
Fewer Scans Overall
Advanced dental technology can now capture images of soft tissue and bone at the same time. This eliminates the need for multiple scans and provides Dr. Green with crystal clear images of your soft tissue, teeth and bones so she can make accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
