Advanced Cone Beam Imaging
We Provide Cone Beam CT Scans in Bend, OR
Bend Oral Surgery’s Kodak 9000/9500 Cone Beam CT Scanner evaluates and analyzes critical anatomy for implants and oral surgery within minutes – right in our office.
It gives precise, cross-sectional slices of any desired location in the upper or lower jaws, which provides the surgeon with exact anatomical information, including dimensions and locations for your particular case. This technology ensures that we have the most information available regarding your personal surgical needs.
How Does Kodak 9000/9500 Cone Beam CT Scanning Work?
The Kodak 9000/9500 Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) system captures high-resolution 3D images of the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures, providing detailed diagnostics and precision treatment planning for oral and maxillofacial procedures.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Patient Positioning – The patient stands or sits in the scanner, and the machine is adjusted to ensure proper alignment.
- Rotational X-ray Capture – The CBCT scanner rotates 360 degrees around the patient’s head, capturing multiple images from different angles.
- 3D Image Reconstruction – Advanced software compiles the images into a detailed 3D model, allowing surgeons to examine teeth, bone, nerves, and soft tissue in high definition.
- Diagnosis & Treatment Planning – The 3D scans help in evaluating bone density, detecting pathology, planning dental implants, assessing wisdom teeth impactions, and screening for TMJ disorders.
Advanced Diagnostics and Precision Treatment Planning
We use advanced cone beam imaging to help determine tooth positions, visualize impactions, and assess their proximity to nerves, sinuses, and bone structures.
Patients with Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) also benefit from detailed imaging that allows for precise condyle measurements and identification of abnormalities.
Additionally, it aids in early detection of pathological issues, including bone deformities, cysts, tumors, and jaw disease, ensuring timely and effective treatment.
