At Glacier Family Dental, we prioritize providing our patients with the latest and most advanced dental technology. As one of the first dental practices in Great Falls to offer Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), we are proud to enhance our diagnostic capabilities. We believe that CBCT is a crucial component of accurate and effective dental care, ensuring our patients receive the highest quality treatment.
Cone-Beam Computed Technology in Great Falls
Advanced 3D Imaging with CBCT for Superior Dental Diagnostics
CBCT is a specialized type of X-ray equipment that produces a detailed 3D image of your teeth, nerve pathways, soft tissues, and bone in a single scan. CBCT imaging significantly enhances our ability to diagnose conditions that were previously undetectable with traditional two-dimensional radiographs, ensuring more accurate and effective care for our patients.
Overall Benefits to CBCT
Enhanced Planning
Dr. Locke, your trusted dentist in Great Falls, leverages the comprehensive data from CBCT scans to meticulously plan and enhance your dental treatment.
New or Different Treatment Planning
CBCT data is able to provide patients with various options- including implants or less invasive procedures for impacted teeth.
Complete Virtual Models
With the use of an optical and CBCT scan, Dr. Locke can create a complete virtual model of a patients bones, teeth and even soft tissue! This helps to ensure the proper bite.
View the Sensory Nerve and Maxillary Sinus
With the use of the CBCT scan, Dr. Locke can view the sensory nerve and maxillary sinus. He can then select the right size and length of the implant.
