All x-rays taken in our office utilize digital technology, which minimizes radiation to our patients and greatly speeds up processing time. We also now offer 3D imaging technology via a high resolution cone-beam CT scanner (CBCT).
This technology provides unprecedented detail and computerized virtual analysis for diagnosis and treatment planning of:
- implants
- bone grafts
- complex impacted teeth
- jaw malformations
- pathologic lesions
- trauma, and other cases.
Our surgeons utilize computer-assisted planning for complex implant, jaw repositioning, facial reconstruction, and trauma cases.
