Addressing Common Concerns about CBCT Imaging

Understanding your concerns about CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging is important to us. We aim to provide clear, reassuring information to address any questions you might have:

Is CBCT imaging safe?

Safety is a priority with CBCT imaging, which is why it’s designed to emit significantly lower levels of radiation compared to traditional medical CT scans. At Hope Endodontics, we use state-of-the-art CBCT technology that ensures the highest safety standards, minimizing exposure while delivering detailed diagnostic images.

What are the benefits of CBCT over traditional X-rays?

CBCT imaging offers a three-dimensional view, providing detailed insights that are not possible with two-dimensional traditional X-rays. This comprehensive perspective is crucial for precise diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly in complex cases such as implant placement, endodontic issues, and orthodontic assessments.

Will I need to prepare in any special way for a CBCT scan?

No special preparation is needed for a CBCT scan. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and removing any metal objects that could interfere with the imaging, such as earrings or necklaces. The process is quick, non-invasive, and comfortable.

How long does a CBCT scan take?

A CBCT scan is remarkably quick, typically completed in under a minute. The entire process, including preparation, takes only a few minutes, making it a convenient option for gaining valuable diagnostic information without a significant time commitment.

Can children undergo CBCT imaging?

CBCT imaging can be used for patients of all ages, including children, when necessary for their dental care. The decision to use CBCT imaging will be based on a careful assessment of the benefits versus risks. When prescribed, it provides critical information that supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, ensuring the best possible outcomes for young patients.
