CT SCAN

At Dental Innovations in Perrysburg, we utilize state-of-the-art CT scan technology to provide a detailed, three-dimensional view of your oral structures. Unlike traditional two-dimensional X-rays, a dental CT scan, also known as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), captures high-resolution images from multiple angles. This advanced imaging allows us to see your teeth, jawbone, nerves, sinus cavities, and surrounding tissues with exceptional clarity.

By using CT scan services in our Perrysburg dental office, we can diagnose conditions more accurately, plan treatments more precisely, and deliver safer, more predictable results for our patients.

What is the importance?

Advanced imaging plays a critical role in modern dentistry. With detailed 3D visualization, we can detect issues earlier and plan procedures with greater accuracy. CT scan services allow us to:

• Accurately Plan Dental Implant Placement: Dental implants require precise positioning to ensure stability and long-term success. A CT scan allows us to evaluate bone density, bone volume, and nerve locations before implant placement.

• Assess Wisdom Teeth Positioning: Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause pain and complications. CT imaging helps determine their exact location and proximity to nerves.

• Detect Cysts, Tumors, or Jawbone Abnormalities: Some oral health conditions are not visible during a routine exam. A CT scan can reveal hidden abnormalities within the jawbone.

• Diagnose TMJ Disorders: Clear imaging of the temporomandibular joint helps us evaluate joint structure and identify potential causes of jaw pain or dysfunction.

• Evaluate Sinus Cavities: For procedures involving the upper jaw, such as dental implants, sinus position and health must be carefully assessed.

CT scans provide a comprehensive assessment of your oral health, allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. If you require dental implants, wisdom tooth evaluation, or a complex dental procedure, schedule with Dental Innovations in Perrysburg today!

CT SCAN BENEFITS

• Precise Treatment Planning: With exact measurements and a complete view of your anatomy, CT scans allow for highly customized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.

• Improved Dental Implant Placement: CT imaging helps evaluate bone density, bone volume, and nerve positioning to ensure implants are placed safely and accurately for long-term success.

• Enhanced Patient Safety: By clearly identifying nerves, sinus cavities, and critical structures, CT scans help minimize the risk of complications during surgical or complex procedures.

• Quick and Comfortable Process: The scan itself takes less than a minute and is completely non-invasive, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately.
