Diagnostic imaging plays a big part in all-over oral care. Surgeons at Nevada OMS are uniquely trained in the specialized cone beam CT. With this machine, there is an unmatched three-dimensional view of facial structures that allows for precision treatment planning invisible on traditional dental X-rays. Let’s talk about how CBCT imaging can enhance your care experience.
Cone Beam Technology: it works with the patient rather than in the patient. Cone beams rotate around the patient taking hundreds of two-dimensional images to give it a huge three-dimensional model. This technology is somewhat different from other medical CT scans, which need many rounds for data acquiring and therefore involve much more radiation exposure. Nevada OMS uses low-dose CBCT optimized for dental and maxillofacial applications.
Advanced imaging is incredibly helpful with more complicated patients like those requiring dental implants, orthognathic (jaw) surgery, impacted wisdom teeth removal, and other reconstructive procedures of the face for trauma or tumor resection. This technology will allow our surgeons to preview the field from every angle prior to surgery as reconstructed in three dimensions. It also allows us to simulate and confirm the location of critical anatomical structures in and around the target area.
Implant Placement: The knowledge of the underlying bone width and height will prevent complications. CBCT maps facial bones to 1 mm slices, detecting fractures, lesions, or cysts that could be overlooked on standard X-rays. Dr. Perez and Dr. Christensen have years of experience interpreting CBCT and can guide individualized surgical planning. This preoperative “road map” helps ensure streamlined workflows for optimal results.
After surgery, CBCT enables verification of healing. Scans after months confirm the correct integration between the implant and the bone around it. Our specialists can see osteointegration the natural bonding that forms the basis for the prosthetic teeth. Follow up imaging catches complications early before such signs and symptoms arise clinically. This offers reassurance and cultivates long-term oral health.
CBCT also allows the accurate detection, staging, and follow-up of pathology such as cysts or tumors. If cancer diagnosis is done, advanced imaging allows for high-resolution mapping to ensure that the surgeons can excise the entire diseased area in one piece with proper margins. Precise cutting minimizes facial disfigurement and accelerates recovery. Imaging-guided biopsies have been made a non-invasive task by the presence of integrated software.
An oral surgeon must appreciate three-dimensional anatomical relationships. The talented group at Nevada OMS regularly attends continuing education courses on the newest technologies: surgical simulation and guided implant placement. Sharing knowledge leads to enhanced treatment planning skills, customized to each unique patient’s facial dimensions and medical history.
Compassion is paramount, and so Nevada OMS addresses the benefits of CBCT in detail. The scanning process only requires sitting still for ten seconds of low-dose radiation-not enough for a normal medical CT. No needles are required. Results yield meaningful data visualized using state-of-the-art software workstations. Our goal is to give you a beautiful, confident smile through expertise blended with empathy.
Ignore no symptoms that may point to an underlying oral problem. Get a CBCT scan when you visit Nevada OMS for your consultation: you will have a panoramic view of implants, wisdom teeth, sinuses, or joints. Combined with thorough clinical exams, CBCT empowers the accurate diagnosis and surgical strategies tailored for you. This puts you in the best possible position to enjoy the best results, smooth recovery, and a lifetime of healthy oral functions.
