CBCT OPG Radiography
Modern Dental Care involves low dose radiography for the Dentist to see underneath the surface of the mouth and check inside the teeth and jaws.
An OPG is useful for:
- mpacted wisdom teeth
- Developing teeth and jaws
- Check for jaw abnormalities
- Check for teeth pathology
- Assess bone levels around teeth
An OPG (Orthopantogram) is a 2D image that spans around the jaw, closely following a panoramic pathway.
CBCT
A CBCT (Conebeam Cross-Sectional Tomography) is a 3D radiography exam which is created by a low dose cone pattern and can create 3D imaging of the jaws.
A CBCT is useful for:
- Assessing Bone prior to Dental Implants
- Assessing teeth prior to extractions, particularly impacted wisdom teeth
- Checking Teeth
- Checking abnormalities of the Jaws
Any invasive or surgical procedure has risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. No dental treatment is suitable for each and every patient. Dentists will only provide care which is suitable to the individual. Patients of Brisbane Smiles must complete examination and consultation appointments to deem suitability for procedures and full informed consent be given by the patient.
