Dr. Robert Zama may use CBCT imaging to view your teeth and supporting oral structures in detail. Also known as cone beam imaging or CT scanning, this advanced imaging technology provides a 3D reconstruction of your teeth, mouth, jaw, neck, ears, nose and throat. By viewing your oral and facial structures in such a comprehensive way, we can ensure that developing problems are diagnosed properly and that your treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs.
CBCT imaging is significantly more comprehensive and detailed than standard dental X-rays. It is also highly versatile, and is often used to diagnose and evaluate a number of complex conditions as well as plan treatments. Our dentist may use this technology to:
- Analyze dental and facial trauma
- Diagnose endodontic problems and plan root canal treatments
- Diagnose and aid in treatment planning for sleep apnea
- Diagnose tooth decay and other dental problems
- Evaluate the jaws and face
- Evaluate TMJ disorders
- Plan and evaluate the progress of orthodontic treatment
- Plan dental implant placement procedures
- View the head and neck as a comprehensive whole
- Visualize abnormal teeth
