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
Just wanted to give Eastern Shore Endodontics a big shoutout for taking care of me Wednesday! It was my 1st time being there and they took care of me like I’ve been going there for years!
Dr Manasco and his team were beyond outstanding. They worked in perfect union. I've never been to an endodontist before, but have been to the dentist countless times in my 70 years. I would not hesitate to return for any future work. Gentle, compassionate, informed me as he proceeded through the procedure. The next day, I literally couldn't feel that I had work done! Not even a little soreness! Bravo team Manasco!
My experience was excellent!!! The entire staff and doctor were pleasant and understanding. Dr. Manasco took the time to go over xrays and explain what he was doing before and after. He even took the time to place a follow-up call after the procedure to make sure I was doing fineI would highly recommend Eastern Sore Endodontics
Amazing all around. Office staff and nurse were great. Dr Manasco is wonderful. Even followed up with me the night of the procedure. Highly recommend!
So far, I’m very pleased with the results. However, I was truly blown away by the reception, the patient care, and above all, with Dr. Manasco. Rather than simply a consultation and scheduling the procedure for days later, having an opening then, he immediately did the root canal for my painful, fractured tooth. He explained what he was doing throughout the procedure and then even called later that evening to check on me. For this 61 year old guy, this was all something that I hadn’t experienced in literally decades.
