What are CBCT Dental X-Rays?

In this video, Dr. John Coolican, an experienced Wilkes-Barre implant dentist, explains the cone beam CT scan machine and how we use it to determine the best placement for a dental implant.

Our office is equipped with a vital tool called the CBCT Machine. Also known as the CT scanner, this machine captures comprehensive three dimensional images of your upper and lower jaw. It is crucial for the implant procedure as it allows us to assess bone structure and identify important structures within. Rest assured, we have a CBCT machine right here in our office, eliminating the need to be sent elsewhere. Schedule your free consultation today and get your scan done conveniently.
