What Is Cone-Beam CT?
Cone-beam computed tomography (cone-beam CT, or CBCT) is a cutting-edge imaging technology that provides a much more comprehensive view of the mouth and jaw than traditional dental x-rays. Using cone-beam CT dental imaging, Dr. Tres Manasco our team at Eastern Shore Endodontics can evaluate the shape and health of your jaw, diagnose oral health concerns, and plan treatments with greater precision. This state-of-the-art approach is part of our mission to deliver more effective outcomes and a smoother recovery process for our patients. Learn more about cone-beam CT imaging by scheduling a consultation with our Daphne, AL endodontic providers today.
How Do You Perform A Cone-Beam CT Scan?
Cone-beam CT dental imaging is typically a quick and painless process. We'll have you sit or stand as our practice's CBCT device slowly rotates around your head. The scanner captures detailed 3D images of your jaw from different angles, giving Dr. Manasco a more complete picture of your total oral health. Once the scans are finished, they'll be sent to a computer and compiled. Dr. Manasco will go over the findings with you, note any areas of concern, and discuss the best treatment plan going forward.
What Are the Benefits of Cone-Beam CT Dental Imaging?
When it comes to maintaining the health and appeal of your smile, it's crucial to have the most comprehensive understanding of your oral health as possible. CBCT dental images provide just that, allowing our staff to better identify concerns that traditional imaging might miss. With cone-beam CT dental imaging, our patients enjoy:
- Faster and more efficient treatment
- Fewer follow-up visits or imaging appointments
- Less discomfort during diagnosis and treatment planning
- More precise planning for better overall outcomes
- A smoother and more comfortable patient experience
Eastern Shore Endodontics Reviews
Dr Manasco did an excellent job on my root canal. He made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. He also called me that evening to make sure everything was going well. His staff was very helpful too.
What a wonderful experience! I know many people cringe at the idea of a root canal, and the name of the procedure does not typically do any favors in comforting those in need of one. However, with Dr. Manasco and his excellent staff there is nothing to fear at all.I felt absolutely no discomfort at any time during the procedure. From the initial shot and throughout the “Root Canal” I was perfectly comfortable. The procedure was much quicker than I expected which I fully attribute to the experience of Dr. Manasco and his staff. I would encourage anybody in need of an endodontist to seek care under Dr. Manasco.Luckily his office accepts my insurance, but to be perfectly honest I would most likely use him even if I had to pay out of pocket. When it comes to dental care I don’t think you can find a more seamless experience than at Eastern Shore Endodontics.Dr. Manasco is the perfect example of a man who has mastered his craft. And for that I could not be more thankful.
The whole staff was so wonderful
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I drove over an hour for Dr. Tres to do my procedure because their office was highly recommended, and now I see why. From the initial phone call, everything was pleasant. Dr. Tres explained everything in detail, and the dental assistant was so calming and relieved my anxiety. Doc also called me after my procedure to make sure I was doing okay, and you don't find many doctors who will do that. If you need an Endodontist, you will not regret this office!
I highly recommend Dr. Manasco. I had a root canal and it was painless. He is very kind and professional and explained everything before and during the procedure. The staff is also amazing.
