Advanced CBCT Imaging Technology at Amazing Smile Dentistry
At Amazing Smile Dentistry in Las Vegas, we utilize cutting-edge CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology to provide our patients with the most accurate and gentle dental care possible. Our team believes that successful treatment outcomes depend on using advanced diagnostic tools that give us a complete picture of your oral health.
By capturing high-resolution 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, our state-of-the-art CBCT system allows Dr. Joseph Gelo and our team to develop precise treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.
What is CBCT and How Does It Work?
CBCT is an innovative dental imaging technique that produces detailed three-dimensional images of your dental structures, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. Unlike traditional dental X-rays that only provide two-dimensional images, CBCT offers a comprehensive view from every angle.
Our Las Vegas dental office uses the latest CBCT imaging system that exposes patients to the lowest possible radiation levels while still obtaining exceptionally clear and detailed images. The scanning process is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive, typically taking less than a minute to complete.
