Let’s examine the intricacies of CBCT, dental scan insurance coverage and the associated costs and benefits. Let’s start with a quick recap of the CBCT basics.
What is dental cone beam computed tomography?
Unlike the traditional dental x-rays you might be more familiar with, a dental CBCT machine adds a third dimension of imagery to provide a much more comprehensive view of a patient’s oral health. Cone beam computed tomography is commonly used for implant procedures, orthodontia, and complex endodontic and periodontic services. Assessing the jaw from multiple angles, cone beam CT dental scans capture clearer images of a patient's oral anatomy more than ever before. With detailed, three-dimensional images of oral and maxillofacial structures, dentists can conduct more advanced diagnostics and curate treatment plans that are accurate, precise, and tailor-made for each individual patient.
