DENTAL CT SCAN
A Dental CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a highly precise 3D imaging technique used in dental
surgeries such as bone grafts or dental implant
placement. It captures images of the head and neck from various angles, providing a clear view of
the jawbone, nerves, and sinuses. This enables the team at Dentist of Anaheim to determine the
suitability of dental implants for the patient. Additionally, the scan is useful for orthodontic
purposes, enabling orthodontists to create cephalometric projections that help determine the best
course of treatment for achieving optimal occlusion and an aesthetically pleasing smile.
DIGITAL INTRAORAL SCANNERS
At your Anaheim dental practice, two types of digital scanners are utilized:
The TRIOS Intraoral Scanner captures intraoral pictures and sends them to a computer. These images
can be shared with your insurance company, dental specialist, doctor, or dental lab. The 3D image
produced helps create dental restorations that fit precisely, reducing the risk of high bite or
recurrent decay. Additionally, this scanner (and the iTero scanner) can assist in the production of
Invisalign® clear aligners.
The iTero Digital Scanner utilizes 3D imaging technology in Anaheim to create a 3D image of your
teeth, providing a better view of teeth that require restoration with crowns, bridges, or dental
implants. It is a vital part of our "crowns in a day" system.
