What Is Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)?
Endodontist Louisville
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technique that captures 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding bone structure. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT provides detailed cross-sectional images that allow Dr. Norton to view the anatomy of your tooth in three dimensions. This enables him to examine areas that are difficult to assess with conventional X-rays, such as the exact position of tooth roots, hidden infections, and bone structures.
CBCT uses a focused cone-shaped X-ray beam that captures high-resolution images while minimizing radiation exposure. The detailed 3D images help Dr. Norton make more accurate diagnoses, plan treatments precisely and ensure the best outcomes for his patients. Whether it’s for root canal therapy, implant placement, or other complex procedures, CBCT provides critical insights that enhance the overall treatment process.
