We use CBCT imaging because it is widely used in modern dentistry and is an established diagnostic tool for specific clinical situations. CBCT imaging uses a dose of radiation that is generally lower than some other forms of medical imaging, and we only recommend it when we believe the diagnostic benefit outweighs this exposure.
We carefully evaluate the need for CBCT imaging based on your individual circumstances and treatment considerations, and we only recommend imaging when we expect the diagnostic information to meaningfully support your evaluation or treatment plan.
