And thanks to advancements in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patriotdentalpensacola.com\/advanced-dental-technology.html\">dental technology<\/a>, the process of placing implants has become remarkably easier and streamlined. One of these innovations is the cone beam scanner, a unique tool that provides detailed information to your dentist that they wouldn\u2019t otherwise have access to. Here\u2019s a closer look at this piece of equipment and how it helps your dentist place dental implants with great ease and unmatched precision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Cone Beam Scanner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A cone beam scanner is a tool used to produce high-quality, 3-D images of your teeth, gums, jaws, and other oral structures. During the scan, a cone-shaped X-ray beam is moved around the patient\u2019s face to produce a high volume of precise images that are then merged into one single, three-dimensional image. It\u2019s an entirely non-invasive process and is comfortable for the patient; you simply only need to sit still for a moment! In addition to providing a superb amount of useful information to take into dental treatment, these scans also emit much less radiation than conventional CT scanners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does a Cone Beam Scanner Assist My Implant Dentist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is that these images provide invaluable data to your dentist about all sorts of things, including the quality and density of your jawbone\u2014which is crucial when it comes to dental implants. Traditional two-dimensional imaging systems, such as panoramic and intraoral images, aren\u2019t quite as effective for planning implant treatment; cone beam scanners provide greater anatomical accuracy, which translates into easier surgical execution and accurate dental implant placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is incredible value in being able to look inside the human body to diagnose potential problems and facilitate surgical procedures, and cone beam scanners allow your dentist to easily do this in advance of placing dental implants. If you\u2019re considering implants, there\u2019s no reason to not consider going with a dentist who has this amazing technology at their disposal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Patriot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at Patriot Dental has proudly served families in the Pensacola, FL area for several years under the leadership of Dr. Keith Lisonbee and Dr. Dan Henry.
