Cone Beam CT Scan

Cone Beam CT scanning allows Dr. Akin to visualize the 3 dimensional anatomy of the teeth, jaws and face with much less radiation than traditional medical CAT scanners.  This important technology is used in the office and is an extrememly cost effective way to obtain 3D images to assist with dental implant treatment planning, determine the position of wisdom teeth, and assist with the diagnosis of pathology.

Here is an image of a 12-year-old with developing dentition.  The 3D scan was used to determine the positioning of the adult teeth prior to deciduous tooth removal.

Note: the images below are shown as a comparison between a typical 2D Panorex and the 3D CBCT.

Diagnostic ability is greatly improved with the in-office use of this technology.
