Digital X-Rays
The dental field is quickly embracing digital x-rays due to their many advantages. Dentists can now take images of teeth and easily input them into an imaging program. This program provides various tools that allow dentists to closely analyze teeth and surrounding structures with exceptional accuracy. Moreover, digital x-rays are highly beneficial for patients as they expose them to almost 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays. This reduced radiation exposure is achievable because digital x-rays are more radiation-sensitive and have been specifically designed with patient safety as a top priority.
CBCT - Digital Cone Beam Scan
Traditional X-rays provide a basic view of your oral health—but at Parkway Smiles Dentistry, we go further. We use advanced CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology to capture detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, soft tissues, and nerve pathways—all in a single, quick scan.
Unlike standard two-dimensional X-rays, CBCT offers a comprehensive, three-dimensional perspective that allows for more precise diagnosis and tailored treatment planning.
Why We Use 3D Imaging with CBCT
Embracing CBCT technology comes with several key benefits:
- Enhanced Accuracy: High-resolution, 3D images let us examine your dental structures from every angle, improving the precision of our assessments.
- Improved Treatment Planning: Whether you're receiving dental implants, root canal therapy, or orthodontic care, CBCT helps us customize treatment to your unique anatomy.
- Lower Radiation Exposure: CBCT scans are quick and targeted, delivering detailed results while minimizing radiation compared to traditional CT scans.
At Parkway Smiles Dentistry, this advanced imaging technology is just one more way we deliver smarter, safer, and more personalized care.
