CT Scan Frequently Asked Questions
How does a CT Scan differ from conventional x-rays?
Routine dental x-rays are two dimensional; they only show the location of your teeth and the height of the bone. These x-rays are often inevitably distorted, and they cannot show the precise dimensions of the jawbone.
A Dental CT Scan, on the other hand, is distortion free. It illustrates the actual make-up of the bone and provides three dimensional and cross-sectional views of your jaws. The life sized images allow your dentist to accurately measure the amount of bone available for implants. This should mean reduced operating time and therefore reduced discomfort following placement of the dental implants.
