At Georgetowne Park Endodontics, we utilize the Kodak 9000 Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) machine. This machine captures 3D images of your teeth, jawbone, and structures within the jaw with great detail. It enables us to perform a wider range of diagnoses and treatments in our office, helping to reduce multiple visits and in many cases can eliminate the need for exploratory surgery.

CBCT has become increasingly important in dentistry. It assists in diagnosis, assessment, and specialized treatment planning. There are certain situations that a scan will be necessary to give the best and most accurate diagnosis to our patients. These include;

• Visualize internal anatomy
• Plan treatment and or surgery
• Analyze the position and orientation of critical structures, like nerves, vessels, teeth roots, previous implants, the sinus and nose.
• Visualize existing anomalies
