CBCT (3D Cone-beam computed tomography)
We offer CBCT services to dental offices in Lynnwood, WA and surrounding areas
What is CBCT?
A CBCT (3D Cone-beam computed tomography) scan uses a particular type of imaging technology to capture 150+ images of your mouth at different angles in less than a minute. These images are then digitally compiled into one three-dimensional (3D) image.
Benefits of CBCT
A CBCT scan is much more detailed than an x-ray.
It displays all of the following at once:
-
Bone
-
Soft tissues
-
Nerves
-
Sinuses
-
Nasal cavity
-
Airway
-
Tooth decay (cavities)
-
Infections
-
Tooth root issues
-
Facial fractures or abnormal growths
-
Signs of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) disorder or other jaw problems
ONE SCAN, TWO IMAGES
One scan with the Smart Plus CBCT gives you a CT and a Pano Image. This means that patients who require both images do not need to undergo two x-ray scans.
At Lynnwood Dental Studio, we now offer VATECH Smart Plus CBCT services with the following CDT codes:
D0364 - Cone beam CT capture and interpretation with limited field of view - less than one whole jaw
D0365 - Cone beam CT capture and interpretation with field of view of one full dental arc - mandible
D0366 - Cone beam CT capture and interpretation with field of view of one full dental arch - maxilla, with or without cranium
D0367 - Cone beam CT capture with interpretation with field of view of both jaws, with or without cranium
