What is Dental CT/Cone Beam?

CTCB uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to create detailed 3D images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths, and bone. It is particularly useful for complex dental cases.

Dental CT/Cone Beam (CTCB) imaging at Chase Lodge Imaging provides detailed 3D images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. This advanced imaging technique is crucial for precise dental diagnostics and treatment planning.
