3D Imaging
Asrari Endodontics offers the latest digital 3D and panoramic imaging. Our goal is to provide you with the best, most accurate, and thorough diagnosis possible. Recent technological breakthroughs allow us to make major advances in our ability to achieve that goal. CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), also referred to as 3D, is a new technology similar to CAT scans in that it will give us a 360 degree, three dimensional view of the area we are examining. With its extremely high resolution and low radiation, CBCT imaging offers a large volume of information and subtle details that simply cannot be obtained by any two-dimensional X-ray.
Clinical studies support this technology’s improved diagnostic capabilities. We feel strongly that this state-of-the-art technology will allow us to provide our patients with the very highest level of care possible today.
Taking the image is very simple. The scan generally takes between 20 and 30 seconds and the images are transferred directly to a computer.We look forward to providing you with exceptional care utilizing the most current and advanced technology available in dentistry.
