At Bay Dental, we utilize advanced imaging techniques, such as dental CT scans, to provide the highest quality of care to our patients. Dental computed tomography (CT) scans are a vital part of our diagnostic process, helping us to identify and treat possible issues with oral health before they get worse Dental CT scans are instrumental in detecting hidden infections in the mouth that you might overlook during a regular dental examination. They provide us with detailed, cross-sectional images of the oral cavity, including teeth, bones, soft tissues, and nerves. This allows us to accurately diagnose and treat conditions such as dental abscesses, periodontal disease, osteomyelitis, and sinusitis. Our team at Bay Dental is skilled in interpreting the high-resolution images produced by dental CT scans, allowing us to detect signs of infection like bone loss, fluid, or gas within the bone. This technology plays a crucial role in our practice, allowing us to create efficient treatment plans and provide precise diagnoses, whether it be root canal therapy, antibiotic medication, or surgical intervention. Having a dental CT scan at Bay Dental can provide in-depth information about the extent and severity of any infection. Our team can then use this information to decide the most appropriate course of treatment, helping to prevent severe complications, including tooth loss, spread of infection, and in severe cases, life-threatening conditions such as sepsis.
