Dental CT Scan

What is a Dental CT scan?

CT stands for computed tomography (CT), which is a medical imaging procedure that combines data from several X-rays measurements taken at differernt angles to produce a detailed image of structures inside the body. A CT scan can produce a 2-dimensional images or "slice" of the scan body part, a good analogy is to look at a "slice" of bread within a whole loaf bread. These slices can be computed to create a 3-dimensional cross-sectional image. Dental CT scans are used to determine the best location to place dental implants or provide a more indept view of your teeth and bone structure.
