Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has revolutionized modern dentistry by offering highly detailed 3D images, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. However, at Facer Hales Parker Dentistry in Ladera Ranch, CA, we understand that many patients have concerns about the radiation exposure associated with this technology. Dr. Luke Facer and Dr. Lincoln Parker are committed to patient safety and ensure that CBCT is used judiciously and only when absolutely necessary.
One of the primary advantages of CBCT over traditional CT scans is that it uses significantly lower levels of radiation while still providing high-resolution images. This means that patients are exposed to less radiation, reducing potential risks while still benefiting from the detailed diagnostic information that CBCT provides. The lower radiation levels make CBCT a safer option for dental imaging, especially when compared to other types of medical scans.
At Facer Hales Parker Dentistry, our team follows strict safety guidelines to minimize radiation exposure even further. This includes using CBCT only when the diagnostic benefits outweigh the risks. Whether we are assessing the position of impacted teeth, evaluating bone structure for dental implants, or analyzing airways for sleep apnea diagnosis, CBCT technology allows us to obtain precise and valuable information without subjecting patients to unnecessary radiation.
Our team in Ladera Ranch is fully trained in the safe use of CBCT, ensuring that all protocols are followed to protect patients. We prioritize your health and well-being, utilizing the latest technology to provide top-tier dental care while keeping safety at the forefront. If you have concerns about radiation exposure, rest assured that at Facer Hales Parker Dentistry, we are dedicated to using CBCT in a manner that is both effective and safe for all of our patients.
