What Are CT Scans?

CT, short for Computer Tomography are a 3D cone beam X-Ray that will accurately show the structure of the jaw and vital areas, such as nerves, sinuses etc. This is invaluable for dental implant dentists as it allows for them to plan for careful implant placement.

Why Would You Need a CT Scan?

Allow a replica virtual placement of an implant into a 3D mock-up of your jaw.
