3D X-rays

Home 3D X-rays

With the latest 3D x-ray (CBCT, Cone Beam) technology, Dr. Klim is able to digitally diagnose and plan dental implants to replace missing teeth. Within one scan hundreds of small images are taken of the skull and combined to form a 3D image of the jaw, teeth and soft tissue. This image can thereafter be digitally divided into thousands of views, which in enables to Dr. Klim to see the finest details of the jaw (including the joints) and teeth all the way to the root.

3D X-Ray/Cone Beam Technology

With this information in hand, Dr. Klim can then use sophisticated software to “virtually plan” implant placement. Once the planning portion is complete, the information is exported to a dental laboratory or in-office milling machine, and a guide or stint is fabricated.

This guide is then fit back into the patient’s mouth. Utilizing the opening or hole in the guide, the bone is prepared and the implant placed to the most accurate degree.

Other uses:

Implant placement is not the only use for 3D CBCT X-rays. Due to the abundant information obtained from a 3D x-ray, Dr. Klim is able to diagnose presented root damage and potential infections.

Since the jaw and joints are also in clear view, Dr. Klim is able to use 3D x-rays for diagnosing and treating TMJ/TMD, potential sleep apnea and much more.

Implant CBCT Imaging
Virtual restorative and implant planning prior to removal of fractured root.  Plans are made for precise implant placement using 3D CBCT imaging, Sirona Omnicam Scan and fabrication of a guided implant placement appliance.

TMJ CBCT Imaging
Jaw joints will remodel if the dental bite causes joint postural compression or overloading.  CBCT imaging is part of the diagnosis to assist in building a solution for “TMJ symptoms”.
Teaser Image
Neck CBCT Imaging
Accessing the skeletal neck and lower jaw balance is part of a TMD diagnosis.  The alignment of the dental bite will impact the alignment of the cervical vertebra in the neck.

Fractured Tooth CBCT Imaging
Quite often, a 3D CBCT is the only way to diagnosis a tooth root fracture.
