Also known as Computerized Tomography, CT scans, or dental cone beam computerized tomography is helpful in multiple ways. They provide an in-depth image that provides dental implant specialists with far better detail than a regular dental x-ray. With 3D imaging, dentists can take a tooth or jaw area and create a 3D image where we can actually spin the image around and look at the tooth from all angles. It helps assess a tooth’s health inside out.
