CONE BEAM CT

What is a CBCT?

Rockford Endodontics is committed to providing the best possible treatment, which is why the Carestream 8100 Cone Beam CT is a critical component of our practice.  A cone-beam CT (computed tomography) scan provides for highly accurate, three-dimensional radiographic images for the diagnosis, planning, and treatment of endodontic disease.

How does it work?

This technology allows for three-dimensional visualization of teeth, bone, sinuses, and surrounding structures with minimal radiation to the patient. This allows the doctors to have far more accurate and specific view of the situation, which then determines the course of action.  

Why is it helpful?

This allows the doctors to diagnose and treat the most complex types of cases with predictable success. This gives a big-picture view of the teeth — to view microscopic sections of teeth and surrounding structures in all three planes: top to bottom, side to side, and front to back.
