3D Dental Cone Beam CT Scans in Torrevieja

CT Scans and X-Rays

CT scans and x-rays en Torrevieja are the tools we use to diagnose problems with teeth, jaw bones, the sinus, some of the soft tissues and some facial nerves. They are also used to assess areas of the mouth structurally for dental work, make essential measurements when planning certain treatment and show us any imperfections, infections or anatomical anomalies which will alter the way we perform your treatment.

Can I have an implant without a CT scan in Torrevieja?

Although some practices will fit implants without having a CT scan we consider that it is quite unsafe and taking an unnecessary risk to undergo implant surgery without one. By giving us the ability to view a CT scan of your mouth we are able to take many things into account: The overall condition of bone and supporting structure in the jaw. Any imperfections or damage to the bone which may lead to an implant failing at some point. The exact measurements of the bone that you have available in which we place the implant.

We need the implant to be fully engulfed in bone to ensure the best outcome. If you need to have a bone graft or a sinus lift; these procedures if advised will give you the extra support your body needs to hold the implant in place and function effectively. If there are any small nerves, areas of infection or even extra un-erupted or impacted teeth that would be considered anomalies and which may mean that implants need to be planned more carefully or avoided in that area altogether.

By planning things carefully first and taking advantage of all of the fantastic diagnostic tools we have at our disposal we are making sure that we are doing the very best we can and giving you the best opportunity to have a long lasting, functional and problem free implant.
