Cooper Moss Advanced Dentistry

Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging  is a significant part of our commitment to using the best available diagnostic information for the care of our patients.

CBCT imaging provides our clinical team with a three dimensional (3D) "volumetric" scan of a patient's teeth and surrounding jaw, sinus and Temporomandibular Joint structures.  A simple 14 second scan by our Galileos 3D CBCT, combined with powerful software tools, allow our dentists to visualize a patient's dental, periodontal and potential pathology status much more completely than ever before.  In fact, studies indicate that 25% more abnormalities are found by clinicians with CBCT scans than with traditional two dimensional x-rays.

Because of its many diagnostic benefits, CBCT scanning is now the standard-of-care for imaging at Cooper Moss Advanced Dentistry.  This technology replaces all "panelipse" x-rays and full mouth x-ray surveys for some of our patients.  Any patient considering dental implant therapy should have a CBCT scan prior to their procedure.  Routine cavity detection x-rays, or "bitewings", are still appropriate for periodic  examinations.
