When it comes to your dental care, precision and comfort matter. At Lincoln Crossings Dental Care in North Huntingdon, PA, we’re always looking for ways to enhance your experience, which is why we’re excited to introduce our 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner. This advanced technology helps us accurately plan treatments and ensures you get the best care possible.
We recently put together a video featuring Katie and Kate from our team to show just how simple and effective the CBCT scan process is. Watch the video below for a behind-the-scenes look at how this technology works and how it can improve your dental care.
What Is a CBCT Scan?
Think of a CBCT scan as a detailed map of your dental anatomy. It captures 3D images of your teeth, bones, and soft tissues in just a few moments. Unlike traditional X-rays, which show a flat, two-dimensional view, CBCT scans allow us to see everything in vivid detail—including bone levels, nerve locations, and sinus positioning. These scans are particularly helpful for planning dental implants, evaluating bone quality, and addressing complex cases that require a deeper understanding of your oral structures.
Why Is CBCT Technology a Big Deal?
At Lincoln Crossings Dental Care, we use CBCT scans to ensure precision and care every step of the way. This technology allows us to:
- Plan Dental Implants Accurately, avoiding nerves and sinuses while ensuring implants are securely placed
- Assess Bone Quality to determine whether additional procedures, like bone grafting, are necessary
- Streamline Complex Treatments, so we can handle challenging cases with greater efficiency and clarity
The result? A smoother, more predictable treatment process with better outcomes for our patients.
What Can You Expect During a Scan?
Katie and Kate explain it perfectly in the video—it’s quick, painless, and easy! You’ll simply sit comfortably while the scanner rotates around your head, capturing a full 3D image in seconds. There is no discomfort or stress—just the advanced imaging we need to create a customized treatment plan for you.
