3D CAT Scan Dental Imaging Technology

3D CAT Scans are commonly used when performing surgical procedures. They enable the doctors to get an advanced, detailed look at the interior sections of the body, including the tissue, the nerves, and the bone structure. These diagnostic machines cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and are not found in most dentists’ offices. You wouldn’t have a knee or hip replacement without a CAT Scan, and we believe the same standard should apply to Dental Implants.

ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are among a select few dental centers in the country using these high-definition digital 3D imaging systems for diagnosis and treatment planning with Dental Implant patients. The 3D CAT Scan takes only about 20 seconds.

The 3D CAT Scan provides more accurate three-dimensional and cross-sectional views than traditional X-rays, allowing the Surgical and Restorative Team at ClearChoice Dallas to:

• Examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the Dental Implant
• Determine the proper treatment approach for each individual patient 
• Determine the optimal placement of the Implants, including precise location and angulations
• Select the correct type and size of the Implants
• Avoid the nerves
