Dental CT Imaging

Dental Computed Tomography (CT): Modern Diagnostics for Precise Treatment

At our dental clinic, we use dental computed tomography (CT) as one of the most accurate diagnostic methods. This 3D imaging allows for a detailed examination of the anatomical features of the teeth and jaw system, which is essential for treatment planning and surgical interventions.

Why is dental CT better than traditional X-rays?

While traditional X-rays remain a useful tool, dental CT offers several advantages:

• 3D imaging: Unlike two-dimensional X-rays, CT provides a volumetric image, allowing you to see the teeth and jaw structures from all angles.
• Higher accuracy: CT can detect the smallest pathologies such as microcracks, cysts, or inflammations that may be missed on regular X-rays.
• Lower radiation exposure: Modern CT machines use low-dose radiation, making the procedure completely safe for patients.

In summary, dental CT provides a more detailed and safer diagnostic option compared to traditional X-rays.

When is dental CT recommended?

Dental CT is prescribed in various clinical cases:

• Implant planning: to assess bone volume and determine the optimal placement of implants.
• Orthodontic treatment: to analyse the position of teeth and jaws before braces placement.
• Complex diagnostics: when cysts, tumors, or developmental anomalies are suspected.
• Pre-surgical preparation: for example, before removing impacted wisdom teeth.
• Treatment evaluation: to monitor healing after surgery or implantation.

Thanks to its high informativeness, dental CT allows doctors to make well-informed decisions about further treatment.

How is CT of the upper and lower jaw performed?

The CT procedure is quick and painless:

• Patient preparation: it is necessary to remove any metal objects (earrings, glasses, etc.) that might interfere with the images.
• Positioning: the patient sits or lies in a specialized machine that rotates around the head, capturing a series of images.
• Image processing: the computer processes the data to create a 3D model.
• Result analysis: the dentist reviews the images to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

At Gallant Clinic, we use state-of-the-art equipment that ensures high-quality images with minimal radiation exposure.

Advantages of dental CT

Using dental CT offers several benefits:

• High diagnostic accuracy: detects pathologies at early stages.
• Painless and comfortable: the procedure is non-invasive and easy for patients.
• Speed: scanning takes only a few minutes.
• Safety: low radiation dose makes it safe even for children and pregnant women (when indicated).
• Digital storage: images are saved electronically for future analysis or referral to specialists.

These advantages make dental CT an essential tool in modern dentistry.
