2D & 3D IMAGING
2-dimensional imaging, such as routine dental and panoramic radiographs, have been mainstays of oral and maxillofacial surgical care. However, your surgeon may determine that for your care more advanced imaging may be needed. This includes hospital-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), or an office-based cone beam CT (CBCT) scans.
CBCT scans are fast and convenient imaging modality that are excellent for dental implant planning, visualization of abnormal teeth, evaluation of the jaws and face, cleft palate assessment, diagnosis of dental caries (cavities), endodontic (root canal) diagnosis, and diagnosis of dental trauma. The imaging is usually completed in just a few minutes.
At our practice, we are pleased to offer CBCT imaging for the patients living in our communities.
The Carestream CS9600 system gives our oral and maxillofacial practice state-of-the-art technology to help Dr. Daisy Chemaly and Dr. Marco Magalhaes diagnose potential issues more accurately and provide treatment with unprecedented confidence. Unlike a traditional spiral CT scanner, this 3D system utilizes cone beam CT technology and provides precise, crystal-clear digital images while minimizing your exposure to radiation.
Our new 3D system enables us to perform a wider range of diagnoses and treatments in our office, helping to reduce multiple visits and outgoing referrals. The 3D scanner allows us to choose the field of view, or scanning area, that best suits your specific treatment needs. This helps to limit your radiation exposure because we are focusing specifically on your area of concern.
The Carestream CS9600 3D system brings the latest 3D technology to Dr. Daisy Chemaly & Associates, providing unmatched visualization of anatomical detail which aids in treatment planning and helps us to better explain the particulars of your case, as well as address any questions you may have. Drs. Daisy Chemaly and Marco Magalhaes can use this innovative technology to quickly and easily share 3D images of the area of concern with your referring doctor – allowing the doctors to collaborate on your care, improving your experience, and delivering a positive treatment outcome.
