Creating images and digital impressions are part
of dental implant procedures and processes. In
more recent years, the imaging techniques have
drastically improved so dental offices no longer
rely upon conventional/traditional dental x-rays
for implants.

Rather, the accepted standard is to uses Cone
Beam CT x-rays instead. This type of dental x-ray
imaging is much more detailed because it provides
a full three-dimensional image of the patients
teeth, jawbone, and other important structures.

For instance, it shows the location of sinus
passages and nerves, which are vital in mapping,
planning, and selecting the right size implants
and their placement into the jawbone.

For dentists, 3-D Cone Beam CT imaging is a very
costeffective technology and is easy to use. For
patients, this type of x-ray has very low levels
of radiation, while ensuring their implant
treatment plan is created and implemented
correctly.

If your dentist is not using this x-ray
technology for implants, then the procedure has
very high risks. Conventional x-rays are
two-dimensional and do not show all the details
needed to correctly determine the proper
placement and depth of implants.

There are also increased risks of injury to
nerves, penetrating into the sinus cavities, and
other potential injuries if your dentist is not
using Cone Beam CT x-rays.

Some Benefits of Using Cone Beam CT X-Rays
There are many benefits both dentists and
patients gain by using Cone Beam CT x-ray
imaging, as follows

X-rays can be overlaid with digital impressions
to determine the correct orientation. A
complete virtual model of the patients soft
tissue, teeth, and gums can be created to show
precision bite patterns and proper implant
positioning.

Imaging shows bone density levels. In order to
get implants installed, you must have sufficient
bone density or use bone grafting techniques to
ensure the implants are supported correctly.

The x-rays help the dentist select the correct
size implant. Using the right size implant is
important so the artificial teeth look natural
and are secured correctly into the jawbone.

Cone Beam CT images help identify sinus cavities.
The imaging process shows the position of
sinuses within the upper jawbone region. This
will help your dentist avoid penetrating into the
sinuses and choose implants of the proper length.

The Cone Beam CT x-rays help dentists map out the
location of nerve endings. Understanding where
the nerves are located is important to prevent
and reduce the risks of nerve damage while having
the implants surgically installed.

As you can see Cone Beam CT imaging is an
essential part of implant procedures today. Any
dentist, who is still using conventional x-rays
for implants, are creating unnecessary risks for
their patients.
